Overview
The CardMan 5125 is a dual interface PC-linked reader that reads
125Khz Prox (RFID) contactless smart cards and virtually any
contact smart card. The dual interface feature economically
supports end-user environments where both contactless and
contact smart card technology may be in use.
The CardMan 5125 is a USB plug and play device. The USB cable is
fixed to the reader. To connect the reader with your PC, plug the
USB connector to an unused USB port of your computer.
When the reader is working the LED on the right is lighting up
green. If the reader is not working consult the “CardMan 5125
Installation Manual” for driver setup.
For using a contact card, put the card with the contacts facing up, in
the reader. For contactless operation, hold the card next to the logo
on top of the reader.
When the reader is exchanging data with the card (reading or
writing) the LED on the right is blinking red.
