01Overview
Embedded 2D scan module for kiosks and turnstiles
The EM20 is a 27 g embedded reader measuring 55 × 33.4 × 13.1 mm, built to sit behind a window in a kiosk, gate or payment terminal. A 72° × 54° field of view lets users present a code without careful positioning.
It reads payment and ticket codes from phone screens as well as printed labels, in ambient light from darkness up to 100,000 lux. Status lighting is white while reading and green on success, and the RGB colour can be customized to match your product.
- Compact Design for different system
- Multiple Interfaces
- Global shutter
- Screen code reading
02Key features
What sets the EM20 apart
Multiple interfaces
USB HID or virtual serial, TTL serial and RS485 cover most controllers.
Global shutter
Reads codes on the move as users walk past a gate or validator.
Screen code reading
Tuned for mobile payment and e-ticket codes shown on phone displays.
