2.2 Product photo
R501 reader is a kind of high-speed dual interface smart card reader, which is used for PC environment or
relevant smart card environment. Product shell is using C9 by default, which is dual interface, if you want
contactless only, you can choose C10. Or if you have idea and want make your own casing, Feitian also
provide mold service for customer. To suit some other requirements, like ATM machine or other industry
which already had mold, we also offer hardware module for embedded.
C9, ID-1 Size contact card with contactless card support, plus 2xSIM:

3.0 HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
3.1 Operating Environment
R502 can be using in various operating environments, including hardware and software operating
environments, thus expanding the scope of use of reader R502 Card Reader.
3.2 Hardware Operating Environment
R502 Card Reader providing user with USB, it helps to make connection between PC, Android device
and other equipment more convenient. The card can be operate by local PC or Android device via R502
Card Reader.
Using it for android, customer will need to buy OTG cable (USB Type A Female to MicroUSB (OTG))
3.3 Software Environment
R502 Card Reader has rich software environment. It supports Android (Has not be tasted on all Android
versions or smartphones), Windows 2003Server, Windows XP (SP2, SP3), Windows 2008Server,
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows CE, Linux, Mac OS X 10.6 (X64)/Mac OS X 10.6 (X32)/Mac OS
X 10.5 (X32) (These systems need to install the driver first), etc.
If you are using Embedded Linux system, you will need cross-build CCID, libusb, pcsclite into your
target platform. Go to SDK and check Cross_build_Driver_To_Embedded_Linux.txt, any questions, you
$R502_SDK_Latest\Driver\Cross_build_Driver_To_Embedded_Linux.txt
3.4 Hardware Configuration
In order to help user to understand interaction between reader, device and card, the R502 Card Reader
hardware has various status of prompt information. Three LED status indicator lights is provided for the
user: red, blue, green, each of them representing work and charging indicator light, card detection
indicator light and data communication indicator. For details, please refer to the following table
We provided three indicators (Red/Blue/Green) to inform the status of reader. It included below status of
Reader (USB data transfer/contact card/contactless card working status)
2xSAM:
The SAM card does not support hot-plug, so you will need to insert SIM card first before do
operation.
1xIC:
Standard ID-1 size chip card
1xContactless:
Standard contactless antenna, support 13.56MHz contactless card
*The R502 does not support using contactless and contact at same time, since dual interface card (contact and
contactless) will had issue. The design is when insert contact card, then the contactless will block. So if
your request is to support both, please contact world.support@ftsafe.com to ask OEM firmware.
