Figure 1-1. MT-215 TTL Insertion Reader Configurations

SECTION 1. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

The Model MT-215 TTL is a manually operated two-track insertion, or push-in, Reader, which may have one or two read heads. Three configurations of the head(s) and two bezel configurations are shown in Figure 1-1. The Reader can read the magnetic stripe in both the forward and reverse directions.

The Reader conforms to the following specifications: ISO (International Standards Organization), ANSI (American National Standards Institute); the Reader conforms to the specifications for Tracks 1 and 2 of the following 3-Track format: AAMVA (American Association of American Motor Vehicle Administrators).

FEATURES

Features of the Reader are as follows:

• Dual Read Head - allows for easier card orientation when inserted into the Reader.

• Open Chassis design - provides superior debris clearing capability.

• Half-card Drop out - allows half-sized credit cards to clear from insert channel.

• Isolated PCB - isolates electronics from debris and liquids.

• AGC (Automatic Gain Control) in MagTek's latest F/2F decoder IC - enhances read

performance with less susceptibility to RF interference.

• Beam-mounted Read-heads - improves card tracking capabilities.

• Ruggedized Chassis and Bezel Material - improves temperature and impact performance.
