ACR89 is the latest addition to ACS’s strong line of Smart Card Readers with PIN-Pad. An upgrade of the ACR88 PIN-Pad Reader, it offers better performance, longer battery life and low energy consumption at a relatively lower cost. It is a versatile handheld smart card reader that runs a 32-bit MCU, and has built-in keypad, LCD, bi-color LED, buzzer, rechargeable battery and large programmable memory. Through these features, ACR89 enables users to perform secure smart card transactions in both office and field environments.
ACR89 provides the unique advantage of having two modes—PC-linked and Standalone—to cater to unique user requirements. For its PC-linked mode, it connects to the PC via its USB cable; while for its Standalone mode, it uses its Lithium Ion Battery to run wirelessly. It also comes with a Serial Interface port that allows it to be connected to other peripherals.
Further, ACR89 can support dual interface applications. It has access to contact cards, and can also be customized to support contactless cards upon request. Likewise, it can be customized to feature a fingerprint scanner and thermal printer to provide an optimal solution for multi-purpose applications.
Being CCID-compliant, ACR89 has a plug-and-play solution that facilitates in its ease of use and installation. Users can also build their own standalone applications through its multi-tasking environment using Free RTOS Kernel and C-language. Firmware upgradeable, ACR89 is suitable for existing and future smart card applications.
