General Operation
The SmartPIN B100 is operated through a POS application command & response (API
message) structure. In order to make SmartPIN B100 work with an application, the
command (API message) needs to be sent to SmartPIN B100, and the device will response
to the POS application.
The SmartPIN B100 supports the Encrypt PIN entry and Non-PIN numeric entry (e.g.clear
text numerical entry). The SmartPIN B100 can be put into an operational mode where the
numerical keys can be used for applications other than PIN entry. The application must
provide an indication that the entry is not for PIN entry so that the PIN pad user does not
reveal his PIN during this unsecured operation. This option must be in compliance with PCI
3.0.

Keys & Keypad Layout
The keypad layout is a 4 by 4 matrix. There is a raised dot in number 5 key (raise in relief
for ADA compliance). Keys must be rugged for extended customer operation, vandal, and
tamper resistant. The keypad is waterproof and does not allow water to enter the housing.
The key layout meets ADA, ANSI and APACS Standards. The Operation keys must have
universal legends, have color symbols like shown in the figure. Raised legend symbols are
required for operation by the blind. The designation of the “operation keys” is variable as
needed by the customer/country application.
Key Dimensions
Numerical keys: 17mm (W) by 15mm (H)
Operation keys: 31mm (W) by 15mm (H)
Numerical key separation: 5mm (approx)
