sup5V DC (500mA) to the peripherals (e.g. 500mA to each peripheral) when the reader is 
powered from an external power supply. 

Power Switch 

The power switch is a latching rocker type. Pushing the power switch to the On position allows the reader 
power to be locked On for Kiosk applications. 

Power Supply 

A power supply is included with each Gemalto Document Reader AT10K which is Underwriters 
Laboratory (UL)-Listed and capable of pro5V DC at 3A.  

The reader is capable of operating on USB 2.0 power. However, when operating on USB power, due to 
the limited power available over the USB interface: 

 

the reader's speed will be slightly slower than when powered from the external power supply 

 

the back panel USB peripheral ports will not be available. 

 

Linux and macOS operating systems is not supported 

Gemalto recommends the use of the supplied power supply for best performance 

 

To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage which, if not avoided, could result in 
death or serious injury: 

 

Do not use the reader with any AC power supply other than the provided Gemalto AC 
power supply. 

 

Do not use AC power supply and/or power cord if damaged. 

 

Do not open the reader and/or power supply. Reader is to be serviced by trained 
personnel only. No user serviceable parts or adjustments inside. 

 

Do not modify or attempt to modify the reader and/or AC power supply. 

 

Use only in an indoor dry location. Do not use the product in an outdoor and/or wet 
environment. 

Status Indicator LEDs 

The status LEDs are designed to make the reading process more intuitive both for untrained or infrequent 
users and regular users. The 

LEDs indicate the reader’s status and the progress of the read until the 

point when the document can be removed from the reader. These LED sequences have been designed 
to help users place documents correctly. During a read the following states can be seen:
