Part 7
This turnable electronic key switch is delivered with a set of 4 pcs keys, each
marked as “PRG”, “REG”, “Z” and “GT”. The effective range of each of the 4
keys can be illustrated by the following table and drawing (ref. Fig. 4-2).
B. MSR (Magnetic Stripe Reader)
The MSR or USB MSR slot is near the right edge of the Programmable
Keyboard. The MSR indicator LED (available in KB-6800 with MSR only) is
located at the upper left corner of the block containing the electronic key.
There are three choices of the reader types – ISO 1, 2 dual tracks and ISO
triple tracks types. For card reading, be sure to insert the card to the bottom
with magnetic stripe of ISO card facing downward. The movement of an ISO
card can be either inserting the card from the top surface at the upper end then
sliding the card to the lower out of the slot, or sliding the card from the lower
of the slot till it reaches the upper end of the slot (ref. Fig. 4-3). The MSR
indicator will light up in green when the MSR is ready to read, blink during
reading, and then give a green light if the reading is successful. The MSR
indicator will turn to be red if the reading fails due to improper sliding or poor
magnetic intensity of the magnetic stripe, the MSR indicator will then turn
back to green when the MSR is again ready to read.
