1. Introduction

Spectrum Pro is a PCI PTS 4.X and SRED certified outdoor hybrid insert reader which can read both magstripe cards and chip cards. Meeting the latest requirements of the payment industry, the Spectrum Pro is EMV Level 1 and Level 2 approved, and features DUKPT key management with Triple DES (TDES) encryption to ensure MagStripe and Smart card data will always be protected.

The Spectrum Pro integrates directly with ID TECH’s SmartPIN L100 keypad for a complete Chip & PIN solution.

Integrators and application developers can create apps that communicate with Spectrum Pro using ID Tech's Universal SDK, which provides a comprehensive Windows-based development environment for programmatic control of the unit. Developers can also communicate with Spectrum Pro directly using UART and/or USB-HID. For details, see the P/N 80140505-001 Spectrum Pro Low Level API Manual. This manual contains the complete firmware-level API guide for controlling Spectrum Pro directly. The low-level API manual can be downloaded from:

Idle waiting (Smart card processing is complete and the ICC powered off. User can remove the smart card. If the transaction mode was MSR, magstripe card data is sent out.)

3

Solid Red

The recent magstripe card read was bad. Red lasts 1 second.

8. LED Management

There are two LEDs. One is the user-interface LED on the front bezel of the reader; the other (diagnostic) LED is on the back.

8.1 Front LED Status

 The LED turns green in idle waiting.  LED handling for Magstripe card operation:

 The LED will turn red to indicate that the recent magstripe card read was

bad.

 LED handling for smart card operation:

 The Green LED will flash after powering on the smart card.  The solid Green LED indicates smart card processing is complete and

the ICC powered off. The user can remove the smart card.

8.2 Diagnostic LED Status

The LED on the back of Spectrum Pro can be used for diagnostic purposes. LED status:

1. Off

2. Solid – No communication with its host.

3. Flashing (1 sec on, 1 sec off) – Communicating with its host.

LED Colors:

Amber – Reader requires on-site service actions. Green – Reader is ready to read cards. Red – Reader needs to be sent back to the manufacturer.
