  • Page 22: Digital I/O

    Target | installation guide 3.3 Digital I/O 3.3.1 General purpose inputs / LED and relay control Relay output The relay is by default set to automatic mode. The relay is activated for every tag read and stays activated for the tag hold time (see chapter 6.4.3).
  • Page 23: Reader Disable

    3.3.2 Reader disable The reading of the uPASS Target can be disabled with the RDIS input. This input is commonly used in combination with a sensor (e.g. inductive loop) that detects the presence of a person or vehicle. The RDIS is by default 5V can be controlled by pulling it to ground (pin is short-circuit protected).
  • Page 24: Transit Compatible Mode

    This is very useful for anyone that has already developed an integration with NEDAP TRANSIT readers. The compatibility is ensured by embedding the TRANSIT processor in the uPASS Target. This processor will support any firmware version developed for the TRANSIT reader, including P61, P81 and Q70. See separate TRANSIT firmware documentation.
  • Page 25: Uhf Frequencies

    5.1 Frequency regulations The uPASS Target reader operates on the 860 – 960 MHz band. Regulations in this band are not standardized world- wide. It is important to ensure that the uPASS reader is operated using the correct country / frequency setting.

  • Page 28: Settings

    By default the reader is configured to select ANY TAG and read its EPC number. Select NEDAP to read only Nedap tags. NEDAP DUAL-ID enables the uPASS to search for Nedap vehicle-id tags. When a vehicle-id tag is found, the uPASS searches for driver-id tags.
  • Page 29: Decode Nedap-Xs

    In this case the uPASS will not perform any decoding. Enable the 'decode Nedap XS' option to decode the Nedap XS tag data and output its plain tag-number. In this case the TRANSIT compatible processor and the antenna modulation interface are not used. Additionally this function can be used to verify or output the customer code.
  • Page 30: Relay / Timing

    This setting is only used in the Nedap DUAL-ID mode. The (random) RF off time parameter can be used to enable multiple Nedap uPASS readers on the same frequency without then interfering with each other. By default this setting is on, it is recommended to keep this setting on.
  • Page 31: Led Control

    Target | installation guide 6.4.4 LED control Automatic mode Default the uPASS reader controls the LED automatically. With “Color UL” the tag read color can be configured. With “Color NA” the color, that indicates that the reader is waiting, can be configured. These settings will also be used in TRANSIT compatible mode.
  • Page 32: Expert Settings

    If enabled, the messages are repeated every hold-time (configured in chapter 6.4.3) while the tag is within the read range. The setting has no effect on the Nedap antenna interface and may have effect on the serial interface (depending on the 'Fast repeat serial id-events' setting).
