DESKTOP READER
LDB 307 «Safe ID» reader is a contactless reader dedicated for operators as desktop reader
for passport verification, due to its specific design, but also for card issuing center, point of
sales, etc…
LDB 307 «Safe ID» provides the communication between a terminal and customer smart
cards.
1.2 READER COMPONENTS
LDB 307 «Safe ID» consists of a control board called ”coupler board”, and antenna board, a
DC supply converter board (with two extra SAM sockets).
A FTDI “USB to serial” interface is included
1.2.1 COUPLER BOARD
The coupler board contains a microprocessor, non-volatile memory and a radio frequency
transmitting circuitry. This board communicates with smart cards via RF link (provided by an
antenna board), and to the terminal via “USB to serial” interface. The coupler platform is
GEN327 which can be purchased separately at ASK. This OEM coupler board is compliant
with ISO/IEC14443-2 directives (Radio frequency power and signal interface).
Communications can be executed according to the type A or type B of the directive.

1.2.2 ANTENNA BOARD
The antenna board consists of a printed circuit board with copper traces forming the transmit
and the receive antenna. Antenna may be one of several types, varying in dimensions and
connection. LDB 307 «Safe ID» receives GEN 535 antenna because its area (178x125mm)
matches well with a passport verification application. This antenna has a tuning capacitor, but
no setting is required because it has been optimized in factory.
Optimal tuning is obtained when LED indicator is at its maximum illumination.

1.2.3 POWER SUPPLY BOARD
This board contains a DC-DC converter and two extra SAM locations. Input line should be
from 9V to 36V DC. Typically an AC power bloc with output 12V 500mA (with or without
regulation) should be used.

2 READER SETUP
2.1 INSTALLING A NEW SAM IN READER
In most applications, one SAM (Security Application Module) or more is required.
These components are provided separately, so to set a SAM, the plastic case
should be opened.
For opening, flip over the plastic case. You have to put a blade in the rear slot and
lift the bottom of the case in order to set free a central ergot. Then the bottom of the
box should be removed by sliding in the front side direction.
The stacked board will appear as in
Figure 4, the first SAM should be installed on coupler board GEN 32X (Erreur !
Source du renvoi introuvable.) and next SAMs should be installed on DC
conversion board GEN 351 (Figure 3).
Caution: In a first time, µSIM SAMs must be gently inserted in the open door
socket (Figure 5), then in a second time the door should be locked.

The LDB is delivered by default with an application software called CSC which supports the
ASK cards and C.ticket families.
The external LEDs of the reader can be controlled by customer applicative software using
CSC software commands.
In the same way, the extra SAM modules supported by the GEN351 board have to be
managed by the host application via CSC protocol.
3.3 CLEANING
No adjustment on the reader is required. To clean, simply wipe with a wet cloth and plastic
cleaner, abrasive products are prohibited.
