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.

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.
