2Electrical Integration
2.1 Overview
This section provides information and guidelines for designing the electrical aspects of a solution that
incorporates mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel. MagTek strongly recommends vetting and testing solution
designs before finalizing and deploying them, to make sure the design meets all requirements (e.g.,
functional, legal, security, certification, safety, and so on).
When designing a solution that incorporates mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel, consider the following:
•Review section 1.6 Magensa Web Services
•Gateway
•Data Protection
•Remote Services
•for an overall introduction to the device’s physical features and what they are called.
•Review section 3.4 Mounting for recommended mounting configuration.
•Review Appendix A Technical Specifications to make sure the device is suitable for the solution.
•Review safe handling practices in section 1.9 Handling to make sure the logistical aspects of the
solution design meet the device’s handling requirements.

2.2 About the Connectors
mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel provides a permanently attached USB cable (see Figure 2-1 - Using the
Alternate Earth Grounding Standoff). A USB Device port must be connected directly to a host’s USB
port, or connected to the host via a powered USB hub, to provide power to the device and bidirectional
communication with the host. The device’s USB connector is a Micro-USB B receptacle designed to
mate with a standard Micro-USB B connector found on the peripheral end of commercially available
cables. MagTek does not support connecting multiple mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel devices
simultaneously to the same host. Depending on usage, the device expects to draw up to 500mA at 5V
from the USB port, and the solution design must ensure 500mA is available to the device at all times.
The mDynamo controller board in mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel draws a maximum of 300mA.

Page 13 of 23 (D998200546-10)
2.3 Grounding / ESD Protection
To guard against ground loops and to protect the device against electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is
important for the solution design to ground the device correctly. MagTek strongly recommends checking
whether the host’s USB port provides earth ground, and whether the selected USB cable carries that
ground all the way to the shield of USB port on the device’s board. This will help make an informed
decision about proper grounding. There are two paths to provide earth ground to the device; MagTek
recommends all solution designs bring in earth ground to the device using one and only one of the
possible paths:
•Bring in earth ground from the host through the USB cable’s metal connector shell to the USB Device
Port, See Figure 2-1 for details.
•Bring in earth ground through the Alternate Earth Grounding Standoff. See Figure 2-1 for details.
Figure 2-1 - Using the Alternate Earth Grounding Standoff
After deciding which point will be grounded, make sure none of the remaining ground points are
connected to a different ground.
In addition, solutions that incorporate devices with a metal bezel must ground the bezel to the same earth
ground potential as the point chosen above. This provides an additional path to protect the device from
electrostatic discharge during card insertion and provides additional protection for the device’s
electronics. MagTek recommends this earth grounding cable comprise 18AWG stranded wires.

2.4 Shielding and Conditioning
MagTek recommends using shielded cables to provide noise immunity and to prevent radiated emissions.
The device itself has been tested by an FCC lab for Class B radiated susceptibility and has no special
shielding requirements. For details, see the FCC information provided at the beginning of this document.
MagTek also recommends that all communication cabling (i.e., USB) should be draped together where
possible, and isolated from any unrelated earth ground cables and other wiring nearby that could
potentially couple noise into the device.
The device has no special requirements for power conditioning or signal conditioning.

Page 17 of 23 (D998200546-10)
The device should be installed such that cardholders have a full, unobstructed view of the housing around
the card insertion slot opening (“entry zone”) prior to insertion. This is to allow cardholders to easily
detect suspicious objects in or around the card slot entry, such as bugs / skimmers / tapping mechanisms,
and their wires or antennas. Installation height and pitch are factors in meeting this requirement.
3.4 Mounting
mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel is an IP34 rated device. Mounting is dependent on customer design;
however, it is recommended that the built-in external drain be facing down to ensure proper drainage
should moisture enter the interior of the device.

4Operation
4.1 Card Reading / Transactions
Transactions begin when the host software initiates them. Cardholders should insert cards according to
the card orientation guide on the bezel (see Figure 3-2 - mDynamo with Outdoor Bezel Mounting
Orientations).
If a cardholder inserts a contact chip card, the device detects the chip and attempts to communicate with
the card. The host software may choose to use the notifications from the device as events to trigger
additional guidance (such as audible, visual, or tactile feedback) to the cardholder. For example, for chip
cards, the host software may direct cardholders to leave the card inserted until the transaction is complete,
then to remove the card.
Before and during transactions, an operator may control or monitor the device using the host software
and/or the General Status LED, which is a red/green LED that can be host-controlled.
Programmers of host software should see section 6 Developing Host Software for cross-references to
programming tools and documentation for communicating with the device.
4.2 About the General Status LED
The device’s General Status LED can be used to provide feedback to operators and cardholders about the
internal state of the device. Custom software on the host the device is connected to may completely
customize / override the External LED behavior.
Table 4-1 shows how to interpret the colors and flashing patterns of the General Status LED if the host is
not overriding the LED behavior.
