ACR32B & ACR33B MSRs with RS232 Interface

The ACR32B and ACR33B readers are high performance dual track magnetic stripe card reader (MSR) with an RS-232 serial interface. All magnetic stripe decoding electronics are integrated into the housing and data is transmitted in ASCII format.

The ACR33B is powered solely by the small signal levels from the host RS232 port and does not need an additional power supply: the ACR32B is powered by an external power supply, provided with the product.

Simply plug the unit into a serial port and you can start reading cards!
