Introduction 

Spectrum Pro is a PCI PTS 4.X and SRED certified outdoor hybrid insert reader which 
can read both magstripe cards and chip cards. Meeting the latest requirements of the 
payment industry, the Spectrum Pro is EMV Level 1 and Level 2 approved, and features 
DUKPT key management with Triple DES (TDES) encryption to ensure MagStripe and 
Smart card data will always be protected.  
 
The Spectrum Pro integrates directly with ID TECH’s SmartPIN L100 keypad for a 
complete Chip & PIN solution.  
 
Integrators and application developers can create apps that communicate with Spectrum 
Pro using ID Tech's Universal SDK, which provides a comprehensive Windows-based 
development environment for programmatic control of the unit. Developers can also 
communicate with Spectrum Pro directly using UART and/or USB-HID. For details, see 
the P/N 80140505-001
