3.1. Extra feature: User definable format
Aritech/Tecom Smart Cards allow a user definable format with unique access passwords. These cards provide the system developer with 112 bits of data usable in any form. The reader passes the required number of data bits to a Wiegand or Track 2 Magnetic Stripe interface. Further details are available on request.

When power is connected to the reader, two beeps sound to signal that the memory test has passed and that the reader is ready for operation. If the memory test fails, the two beeps do not sound.

When power is connected and a valid databus poll is not detected, the reader will go into off-line mode after 10 seconds. One beep sounds.
