1. Overview
ID TECH’s SmartPIN L80 provides a compact,rugged, secure keypad interface for POS systems
requiring PIN and/or manual-entry capability. The device’s 15-key layout and optional built-in LCD
make it idealfor kiosks andother unattendedapplications.
For development of applications that communicate with the SmartPIN L80, please askyourID TECH
representative aboutthe ID TECHUniversalSDK for L80 (Windows), which contains libraries (DLLs),
C# source code,a demo app,and documentation for a C# API on Windows. By using the Universal
SDK, you can save time developing host applications that talk to the L80 via USB or RS-232 and take
advantage of many convenience methods (including encryption libraries) exposed via the high-level-
language API.
Low-levelaccesstoL80 via firmware commands canbe achievedvia USB-HID or RS-232 (serial
connection). This manual documents the low-level commands used to controlthe L80 and provides
essentialinformationrequired forestablishing a serial connectionto the device.

2.1. LED Specifications
There is one tricolor (red, yellow, green)LED on the backof the L80 to display unit status. Looking at
the back of the L80, with the top (LCD end) up, the LED is on the left side.
Any given color of LED light can have multiple meanings depending on the context; for details, see the
table under LCD and BeeperState Diagram.
1Stop Mode is a low-power version of Sleep Mode. It consumes less power than SleepMode but requires a soft
reboot to wake up from sleeping.

Page | 12
3.3. Low-Power Modes
The L80 features two low-powermodes:Sleep Mode and Stop Mode.
3.3.1. Sleep Mode
While using the RS232 interface,Sleep Mode is controlled by a timeoutafter the L80 is idle for a
specified time (defaultis120s). While using the USB interface,Sleep Mode is controlled by the USB
suspend and resume signals. Sleep Mode is used for battery-operatedandsolar-powered systems. It
reduces powerconsumptionto a muchlowerlevel (<2.5mA for all connection types) than full-power
mode (200 mA)but leaves the device able to be woken up by key press or communication from the
host.
3.3.1. Stop Mode
Stop Mode is controlled by the application through a specific command.Stop Mode reduces power
consumption to the lowest possible level (<1mA). An L80 in Stop Mode can only be woken up by a
physicalkey press.
3.4. Bootloader Functions
The firmware canbe upgradedvia USB/RS-232 port (Baud rate is 115200).
For detailed information, please refer to document P/N 80000420-001, Bootloader Firmware
Specification (V52).doc.
