Weatherized Insert Secure Card Reader Authenticators are assembled using the mDynamo EMV Contact Reader platform. This platform includes a Micro USB connector, an RS-232 port as an alternative to USB, and an auxiliary SPI port (refer to Figure 1-2 - mDynamo Weatherized Major Components (Back View).
Figure 1-2 - mDynamo Weatherized Major Components (Back View) Terminology In this document, mDynamo Weatherized is referred to as the device. It is designed to be connected to a host, which is a piece of general-purpose electronic equipment which can send commands and data to, and receive data from, the device.
• Determine how mDynamo Weatherized should be configured, and specify that when you order devices. MagTek or your reseller can advise. For deep detail about configuration options and how they affect device behavior, see D998200151 mDynamo Programmer’s Manual (COMMANDS). •...

500mA at 5V from the USB port, and the solution design must ensure 500mA is available to the device at all times. The mDynamo controller board in mDynamo Weatherized draws a maximum of 300mA, and draws additional current to drive devices connected to the RS-232 port and the Auxiliary SPI port.
LED). However, custom software on the host may override the External LED behavior. Shielding and Conditioning MagTek recommends using shielded cables to provide noise immunity and to prevent radiated emissions. The device itself has been tested by an FCC lab for Class B radiated susceptibility and has no special shielding requirements.
Weatherized. MagTek strongly recommends vetting and testing solution designs before finalizing and deploying them, to make sure the design meets all requirements (e.g., functional, legal, security, certification, safety, and so on). When designing the mechanical portions of a solution that incorporates mDynamo Weatherized, consider the following: •...
3 - Mechanical Integration Dimensions Overall dimensions of the device are shown in Figure 3-1. Upon request, MagTek can provide a 3D model of the device’s envelope to assist with the mechanical portion of solution design. MagTek strongly recommends building and testing prototypes with actual devices before finalizing the solution design.

Operation Inserting a Card mDynamo Weatherized is designed to be mounted in either a Vertical or Horizontal configuration as described in 3.3 Orientation. mDynamo’s chip card slot is unidirectional, embossed cards will not fit in the slot if inserted with the incorrect orientation. The following illustrations will demonstrate proper card insertion.
The device is ready to read a card. An operator is updating the firmware. On Steady On completion, the device will reset, and the LED will turn off briefly. mDynamo Weatherized| Insert Secure Card Reader Authenticator | Installation and Operation Manual Page 19 of 27 (D998200657-100)
Do not use chemicals or solvents. MagTek’s double-sided cleaning card 96700004 is designed to clean the contact pins inside all chip card contact readers. Keeping the contact pins clean is essential to the device’s functioning. MagTek recommends inserting a cleaning card at least once per week to avoid card misreads.
Support When developing host software, it is important to note that mDynamo Weatherized is a combination of two devices integrated into a common enclosure: • mDynamo Weatherized uses a primary control unit and chip card reader based on MagTek’s OEM solution platform, mDynamo.
