Hint: Smart card reader is mounted on the bottom of the main board PCB

Step 2: The soldering points 5 & 6 are responsible for card detection in the reader.
Closing both points means there is no card in reader. Opening them means the card is present.
Solder two shielded wires to both points.

Step 3: Grab an extra socket ( standard jack used in this example) and connect the other ends of both wires to the socket.

Practical use:

Main purpose would be resetting the embedded Irdeto CAM if it hangs.
However.
You may notice interesting behaviour when when using Season interface with test software, for example HBEmu, in addition to so called IRCI 5400 AllCam patches.

Switch from Irdeto to any Seca channel. Press 1111 and then RCL on the remote control.
CA menu now reads:

The example above is for DIY training purposes only. Procedure described will void your receiver warranty and is not a part of service nor supported by Humax standard terms of use. Using any third party software to modify your receiver may be against the law in your country.

Extra tip:

If you have a problem with your Humax receiver remote control you can try making additional hole in its plastic cover. That should increase angle and improve operating strength of this device.
