4.2- ELEMENTS
The safe is made up of the following elements: Reader Module (Card Reader with keypad and
display), Control Unit, Battery Module, electromechanic closing mechanism and box itself.
4.2.1- Reader Module
As in the electronic lock and the wall reader system, the reader is a magnetic stripe reader or RFID
antenna. When the user inserts his card into the reader, it reads the information encoded on the
card, the control unit analyzes the information regarding the locking plan information to the control
unit has in its memory, and according to that locking plan will allow access it or not, the ability to
open or close the safe by the guest.
Magnetic Stripe Reader Module
Magnetic stripe card readers are fully standardized. Due to the multitude of applications that have
the magnetic stripe card, they were standardized, so that the measures, the width of the magnetic
stripe of the card, as far recording etc.. Characteristics are imposed by the standard.
The system uses the encoding in track 3, so that the tracks 1 and 2 are free for other uses. This
allows us to use cards that users of the facility being used for other applications which are recording
tracks 1 and / or 2. Track 3 must be free and it CAN NOT BE SHARED with two applications.
The resistance of the recording cards called "coercitivity" and its unit of measurement is the
"Oërsted". There are two types of cards: low coercitivity cards and high coercitivity cards, which
measures samples in the following table.
The reader can read both low coercitivity cards as high. Normally low coercitivity cards are used,
since they are less expensive than high coercitivity ones.
Portable Programmer Conection
The reader has a connector type "jack" just below the keypad, as shown in
Fig.
How to connect the portable programmer to the safe is exactly as connecting
it to the locks.
