Posiflex SD5004010 KS6812 Magnetic Stripe Reader
Overview
The Posiflex SD5004010 is a 3-track magnetic stripe reader (MSR) designed as a peripheral attachment for Posiflex point-of-sale systems. This device reads encoded payment cards and loyalty cards during transaction processing, eliminating manual entry and reducing checkout time in retail and hospitality environments where card-present transactions are standard.
Compatibility
This MSR attachment (KS6812) integrates with Posiflex POS terminals and workstations in the SD-series product family. Verify your specific Posiflex terminal model supports external MSR peripherals before purchase — not all configurations accept passive or powered reader attachments. Contact Posiflex technical support or your system integrator with your exact terminal model number to confirm pin-out and protocol compatibility.
Track Specification
The reader handles all 3 magnetic stripe tracks — Track 1 (76 bits, cardholder name and account data), Track 2 (45 bits, primary transaction data), and Track 3 (107 bits, optional issuer-use fields). Multi-track support ensures compatibility with standard credit cards, debit cards, and proprietary loyalty or gift cards without requiring separate readers for different card types.
Installation Notes
Confirm cable connector type and pinout compatibility with your Posiflex terminal before installation. MSR attachment wiring must be routed away from high-frequency interference sources (RF transmitters, wireless routers) to prevent read errors. Consult your terminal's integration manual for power and data line specifications.
