CipherLab MSR210 magnetic card reader

Any area of ​​customer service cannot do without professional equipment. The site presents modern models universal and specialized readers.

Here you will also find the MSR213u magnetic card reader.

The standalone MSR213u magnetic card reader is widely used in the retail industry. Designed to receive and process data from plastic cards having a special track.

But in addition to the transmitted contents of the magnetic tape mobile device reads the time and date of the transaction. This information is entered on special card memory.

Distinctive features of the MSR magnetic card reader

On modern market similar equipment can be found today different models with standard functional equipment. Distinctive features of this device are an additional interface programmed in working system. Mobile magnetic card reader MSR213 has:

LED indication, which is automated when the received information is approved;

sound indication triggered at the time of the operation;

double-sided data reading function;

special updateable software;

ability to recognize keys and cards in DMV, ISO7811, AAMVA format;

functional expansion of programming the identification number of a readable magnetic tape;

the ability to recognize low-coercivity and high-coercivity cards (indicated by the serial marks “LoCo” and “HiCo”).

It should also be noted that the range operating temperature, which is supported by magnetic card reader models MSR 210, MSR213u 33, MSR112a 33, MSR 0101. Under normal operating conditions, it ranges from -10 to +50 degrees.

Technical and functional characteristics of MSR magnetic card readers

The mobile MSR magnetic card reader, despite its small dimensions, has a fairly powerful interface. And this is another one distinctive feature of this device. The device is powered by using the COM port, which is included in the kit. It works perfectly on crown batteries. Moreover, the charge is enough for enough long time. External source This compact device does not require power.

This “smart” equipment automatically goes into sleep mode to save power and is instantly activated when you swipe the card across the slot. Manufacturers provide 2 main shutdown modes.

Exist standard features MSR:

it is possible to work on three tracks;

information reading speed ranges from 2.5 to 60 inches per second;

provided full support USB (2.0);

the installed software allows you to quickly and easily change the entire configuration of the device at any time;

USB-IDTech-HID operating interfaces are provided.

Models from this series of readers have deservedly gained their popularity. It is worth noting the excellent combination of price and quality for this equipment.

Modern modifications of MSR magnetic card readers

The standalone reader is completely ready for installation and further use. The kit includes:

the device itself;

universal battery (crown);

special cable for connecting to central computer or additional controller. The most commonly used cable is the RS232 type, but in rare cases it is included in the kit

other equipment included wired connection to PC;

• standard software. It is intended for downloading data, setting the date and time. The magnetic card reader MSR210d 33, MSR 0101, MSR213v 33, MSR100 uses Windows software.

The MSR500 model is equipped with an additional 9-volt “crown” battery.

Any series of this equipment has an article number “E”. But depending on the functional equipment and type of application, they come in various modifications. The most common series are “GY-MT-R”. Later models contain the designations “BG-R” or “GY-R” in their name.

The Cipher MSR magnetic card reader belongs to the segment of inexpensive models. However, this only applies to its price, because... in functional terms, it is in no way inferior to more expensive card readers, being universal and high-performance.

Cipher MSR quickly and accurately reads HiCo and LoCo codes in both directions, which undoubtedly has a positive effect on operator speed. As for the operating speed of the reader itself, it is 120 cps. The operator is informed about the progress of work by sound and light indicators.

The Cipher MSR magnetic head will withstand at least 1 million reads. If more advanced software appears during this time, then the possibility of updating the software provided in this card reader will be very useful. Since the model is designed for a long working life, indicators such as energy consumption begin to play a role - in the long run, even owning a magnetic card reader can cost a lot of money. This, however, does not apply to the Cipher MSR, which has two stop modes and is very modest in power consumption.

One more distinctive feature The new reader from CipherLab is unpretentious to working conditions. The operator is more likely to refuse to work than the Cipher MSR, which feels great in the temperature range from -10 to +50 Celsius.
