Caution
The default or operating values used in this manual and in the program of the AccuLoad® are for factory test-
ing only and should not be construed as default or operating values for your metering system. Each metering
system is unique and each program parameter must be reviewed and programmed for that specific metering system
application.

Caution
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accord-
ance with this Instruction Manual, may cause interference to radio communications. It has not been tested to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will
be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.

4. Conduit entry to the explosion-proof Card Reader
is through the bottom and left-hand side of the

Card Reader is through two entrances in the
bottom of the housing.
5. In warm climates, the Card Reader should be
shaded from direct sunlight. The maximum
external temperature of the Card Reader housing
must not exceed 140°F (60°C) to ensure that the
internal temperature limit is not exceeded.

Command Code CD – Card Reader Data

This command returns card reader data to the host.

Command:
"CD"
"CD_C1C2"

Where:
C1C2 (optional) is a two-character bitmap

Responses:
Good Response:

"CD_S1_HHHHHHHHH" For CD (and CD_C1C2)

Where:
S1 is a one-character status indication – 0 = Data good
S1 = 1 – Timed out (after 3 seconds from the time the card was swiped)

HHHHHHHHH is the data encoded on the card

Both 26-bit and 37-bit card data formats are supported

For the 26-bit data format, the nine characters of card data are returned as follows:

002NNXXXX

Where:
002 is fixed and is added to the data read from the card
NN is the facility code in hexadecimal (decimal range is 0 – 255)
XXXX is the card ID in hexadecimal (decimal range is 0 – 65535)

For the 37-bit data format, the nine characters of card data can consist of any digits
0-9, A-F

Remarks: None.
Constraints: None.
Special Case: None.
