The Reader-Writer requires card slot cleaning on a regular interval. The interval
is approximate and should be after every 10,000 card swipes. Regular cleaning
insures oils and debris do not accumulate on the operating components.
Over time, operation can cause a fi lm to collect on the heads and other surfaces.
This fi lm should be removed using “cleaning cards”. These are available from
magnetic stripe cleaning card sources. Cleaning cards are about the same size
as an ID1 (credit card) and have an absorbent surface on one or both sides. The
absorbent surface has an isopropyl alcohol solvent that should remove any fi lm.
The absorbent surface should be damp; the surface should not be saturated.
Swipe the card fi ve to ten times with the solvent side of the card toward the read
and write heads and then again fi ve to ten times with the solvent side opposite the
The cleaning cards may not remove all the debris. In the case of debris such
as dust and card particles in the slot, use an aerosol can product having clean
compressed air. The clean air is used to blow debris from the slot. Direct the
stream of air at a low angle into the slot and run the nozzle along the slot. Direct
the air in the direction of the card travel and then in the opposite direction. Inspect
the slot by looking down its length with a good backlight to see if all debris are
The housing can be cleaned with a mild detergent applied to a soft cloth that is
rung almost dry. Detergent should not be allowed to enter the card slot. visit
