7.3 Explanation of input/output signal
Input/output signals are /CLD1, /CLD2, /CLD, /RCL, /RDT and effective operation mode for each of these
signals shall be “L” level for all.
(1) /CLD1 (CARD LOAD) ：The /CLD line will be Low when a Magnetic Card inserts in the
Magnetic Card Reader.
The /CLD line will be High at all other times.
(2) /CLD2 (CARD LOAD) ：The /CLD line will be Low when a Magnetic Card is inserted in the end
of Magnetic Card Reader.
The /CLD line will be High at all other times.
(3) /CLD(CARD LOAD) ：When the /CLD line will be Low when a encorded Magnetic Card
Reader,and when a encoded Magnetic Card inserts in the end of
Magnetic Card Reader the /CLD line will be High.
(4) /RCL(READ CLOCK) ：This is used to sample the data line by it's falling edges. The time
relationship of the clock with respect to the order signals is shown in
Figure 7.4
(5) /RDT(READ DATA) ：The moment /RCL change from High to Low ; /RDT is “1” when the
/RDT line is Low , and /RDT is “0” when the /RDT line is High.

Detail the /RCL & /RDT timing chart
When the jitter of the magnetic head output is 0% , the following equation is satisfied.

9. UNIT LIFE AND RELIABILITY
9.1 Life Magnetic head ： 300,000 times pass
(conditions) In a clean office room.
In damp or dirty atmosphere, the life may be 1/3 to 1/5 of the
above figure.
9.2 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/sec ~ 60cm/sec) by manual operatrion
in the clean environment at delivery from our company.
10. GUARANTEE
If defects should occur within one year after the delivery of the card reader due to
improper material or bad workmanship, the defective parts shall be replaced or
repaired, free of charge.
11. MAINTENANCE
Because of difficulty in changing components on the P.C Board, replacement of
whole unit is recommended for service and maintenance.
12. CAUTIONS ON THE 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.
12.1 At the installation
(1) Do not drop or bump anything against a card reader. Otherwise, failure may
be the result.
(2) Do not touch the P.C.B. with bear hands.
(3) Be sure to install on a flat surface so as to prevent any force to be applied to
the Card reader at the installation.
(4) Do not drop or bump anything against a card reader. Otherwise, failure
may be the result.
(5) The card reader should avoid installation of 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.
-7-
12.2 At the use
(1) Be sure to use a card which conforms ISO standard.
Coercive force of the applied card should be 2.4×104 A/m ~ 2.4×105 A/m
(300 Oe ~ 3000 Oe) 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/sec ~ 60 cm/sec.
(3) Store the card with caution to prevent dirt, scratch and distortion.
Especially, no foreign matter shall 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) Depends on installation environment (incorporation condition) or operation
condition, external noise or electrostatics and so on may affect the machine,
and which may cause an error or a wrong operation.
Check the level of noise resistance and electrostatic resistance of your factory
before using the card reader.
