Engaging the Removal Detection Switch for Testing
The front panel of the SmartPIN L100 incorporates a removal-detection switch behind the bezel's rubber
gasket, on the unit's right-edge flange (when viewed head-on, as in the illustration below).
Engaging the removal-detection feature is only necessary when attempting to pair an L100 with a
compatible ID TECH reader, such as the VP5300. For bench testing, you may find it desirable to clamp
the detection-removal nubs closed using a metal strip held on with two screws (as in the illustration
below).
Make sure to do this before powering up the unit.
Conversely, power down the unit before
releasing tension on the nubs.
Note:
to close the tamper removal switch, 1.63mm of displacement (compression) is required, or
0.056kg of force, but it is recommended that when using a M4-M5 hex nut to mount the unit, a torque
between 1.0-1.2 N.m be applied to allow the gasket to prevent water ingress as well.
5.2
Drop Test
The L100 can withstand 4-ft drop to concrete on 6 surfaces and 4 corners (3 cycles) with no damage and
still maintain functionality.
5.3
Dust and Water Resistance
All front face components are designed for direct liquid spray, and/or splashed or spilled liquids. The
L100 passes IP65 ratings.
5.4
Salt spray test
Faceplate, metal keys, and mounting plate pass the salt spray test.
