The PermaSeal Secure Card Reader Authenticator (SCRA) is designed for installations that might be subjected to harsh environments such as fuel (petroleum) pumps and outdoor kiosks. This compact insertion style SCRA conforms to ISO standards and is MagneSafe™ enabled. PermaSeal SCRAs are available with single or dual head configurations supporting up to 3 tracks of information from ISO and AAMVA encoded cards. Dual-head units include circuitry to automatically ensure that the ISO magnetic stripe is read in the case where a dual-stripe JIS (Japanese) credit card is inserted. A card is read by inserting it into and/or removing it out of the card slot.
The water-tight design of the bezel and reader body meet UL50 requirements and effectively seal the unit from vapors and liquids. This design protects the electronics from harmful contamination.
