Thank you for choosing SpringCard !
CrazyWriter is an OEM contactless smartcard reader,
with 2 µSIM/SAM slots.
Thanks to its native USB interface, CrazyWriter is
PC/SC compliant. The device may also be operated in
legacy mode, either on USB or in RS-232 thanks to
an optional interface board.
This document is the reference guide to install
CrazyWriter in your equipment.

CrazyWriter Mother Board
(EASD470) in a
place where you can access the µSIM/SAM slots
and the USB connector easily.

)
near the “landing zone” of the contactless
smartcards (distance between the smartcard and
the antenna must be
0,5cm ≤ d ≤ 1,5cm
for
correct operation with most smartcards).
Connect the antenna to the mother board :
•
Short distance (d ≤ 5cm) : use a 2-wire
twisted cable (J4 connector)
•
Long distance (5cm ≤ d ≤ 200cm) : use a
50Ω coaxial cable.
