Intelligent
Smart Card/Magstripe® Insert Reader/Writer
The most reliable hybrid insert reader/writer for installation in public kiosk applications. Reads/writes multiple microprocessor and memory cards.
The Model 171A units feature AMC's vandal-resistant design, spring-loaded guide for optimum magstripe card read, and large debris slot/half-card dropout for jam-proof transactions – making them ideal for public terminals. Optional features – such as conformal coating for condensation protection, card latch and power fail latch release – make them even more robust for public settings.
Cost-effective
For
cost-effectiveness, these units combine smart card read/write and
magstripe read capabilities for OEM applications requiring both
technologies. A smart card only version (no magstripe) is
available. Plus, they are engineered to perform at least 500,000
operations. An optional LED indicator is available for user
feedback.
