7.3Explanation of input/output signal
Input/output signals are /CLD,/RCL,/RDT, and effective operation mode for each of these signals
shall be “L” level for all.
(1) /CLD The /CLD line will be low when a Magnetic Card isinserted in the
(CARD LOAD) end of Magnetic Card Reader.
The /CLD line will be Low at all othr times
(2) /RCL1, /RCL2 This is used to sample the data line by it's falling edge.
(READ CLOCK)
(3) /RDT1, /RDT2 The moment /RCL changesfrom High to Low ; /RDT is “1”
(READ DATA) when the (/RDT1, /RDT2) /RDT line is Low , and /RDT is “0”
when the /RDT line is High.

10. ERROR HANDLING
10.1 Magnetic Card Read Errors
If a card read is bad no data will be returned when track data is requested with the T1,T2,T3,
or TA commands.
The :SR<CR><LF> command will return the status of the most recent card swipe
The status return string contains data on Missing STX, ETX, and LRC errors for each track
Please see the details of the :SR command in the preceding section
10.2 Communication Errors
The UCIMAG will acknowledge most RS232 commands with either a data string or <CR><LF>.
Please see preceding section for details. If the UCIMAG fails to receive the command correctly
it will not respond. The Host PC control software should assume that if no response is received
in 1 second a communication error has occurred and the command should be resent.
10.3 Power Failure
If power fails and is then restored, the unit is reset and reinitialized. On reset the UCIMAG will send
the current firmware revision. In this way a host PC can tell when power has been lost on the UCIMAG.
11. UNIT LIFE AND RELIABILITY
11.1 Life
Magnetic head : 1,000,000 times pass ( 2 passes / operation)
(conditions) In a clean office room. In damp or dirty atmosphere, the life may
be 1/3 to 1/5 of the above figure.
11.2 Error rate :Less than 0.1 %
(conditions) This error rate is obtained when a new normal card (data”1010”) is horizontally
passed at the standard speed (30 cm/s to 60 cm/s) by manual operatrion
in the clean environment at delivery from our company.
12.MAINTENANCE
Because of difficulty in changing components on the P.C Board, replacement of whole
unit is recommended for service and maintenance.

13. CAUTIONS ON USE
Please be noted that we do not guarantee proper performance of the card reader if it is used other than
the indicated specification range.
13.1 During installation
(1) Do not drop or bump anything against the card reader. Otherwise, failure may be the result.
(2) Do not touch the P.C.B. with barehands.
(3) Be sure to install on a flat surface so as to prevent any force to be applied to the card reader
during installation.
(4) Avoid installing the Card Reader in the following environment.
* Watery, humid or dusty place.
* Near machines which generate magnetic field or inducted noise. (Printer ,LED display, CRT etc.)
* Place which gets direct sunlight.
13.2 During use
(1) Be sure to use a card which conforms to ISO standard. Anti-magnetic of the
applied card should be 2.4ﾗ10A/m2.4ﾗ10A/m of ISO standard.
(2)Card operation speed should be within the specification range. Forced stop or
change of speed during the card operation may cause a read error. Appropriate
speed to maintain stable operation is 30 cm/s 60 cm/s.
(3)Store the card with caution to prevent dirt, scratch and distortion. No foreign
matter should be stuck on the magnetic stripe surface. Use of such card may
result in a read error.
(4)Insert a cleaning card and clean the head periodically to prevent wearing of the
magnetic head. Head cleaning using the cleaning card should be performed
about once a week if the room is not dusty.
(5)Enviroment conditions such as external noise or electrostatics etc. may affect
operation of the card reader and interface. Check the level of noise resistance
and electrostatic resistance of your factory before using the card reader.
