Read range adjustment The reader efficiently resolves typical multi-lane, entry and exit reader challenges. The read range of the TRANSIT Ultimate can be adjusted to offer secure and reliable identification in demanding applications. Housing & mounting The TRANSIT Ultimate is intended for outdoor installation.
INTRODUCTION ULTIMATE FEATURES Encrypted tag authentication The TRANSIT Ultimate enables encrypted tag authentication for the Ultimate tags: Smartcard Booster Ultimate, LEGIC Booster Ultimate and Window Tag Ultimate. The authentication uses encryption based upon AES 128-bit keys. Key diversification is used to ensure that a unique encryption key is used for every tag.
NEDAP N.V. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES The TRANSIT Ultimate can be installed in any position. The normally expected read range is up to 10 meters. Usually the reader is mounted in the horizontal position. In this case the coverage area in the horizontal plane is maximized.
See the following chapters for details about the dimensions of the reader and the mounting brackets and the locations of the mounting positions. 2.3.1 TRANSIT ULTIMATE DIMENSIONS The picture below shows the dimensions of the TRANSIT Ultimate. All dimensions are in mm. 326 mm...
Mounting Set is assembled mount it to the wall (or to the Pole Mounting Set) based on the dimensions in Figure 3. The TRANSIT Ultimate can be “aimed” with the Wall Mounting Set and when the bolts are tightened, it will stay in place.
2.3.3 POLE MOUNTING The Pole Mounting Kit has to be ordered separately (art. no. 5626595). The TRANSIT Ultimate can be mounted to round poles with maximum diameter of 190 mm and square poles with maximum diameter of 150 mm using the Pole Mounting Kit.
TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE INSTALLATION 2.3.4 WEATHER PROTECTION HOOD The Weather Protection Hood has to be ordered separately (art. no. 9218327). It is recommended when the reader is installed in places where direct sunlight may overheat the reader. 75 mm...
The optional Security Key Pack (SAM) has to be ordered separately (art. no. 9216537) and is required for the TRANSIT Ultimate to perform the encrypted authentication on the Ultimate tags. Please follow the procedure below to install the Security Key Pack into the TRANSIT Ultimate.
Make sure to follow all safety precautions outlined in chapter 2.1 when installing or replacing a communication board. Communication board installation procedure: Open the TRANSIT Ultimate. You can put the cover strut into place to keep the cover open. Disconnect the power supply.
TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE CONNECTIONS POWER SUPPLY The TRANSIT Ultimate can be powered by AC mains or by a 24 VDC power supply. 3.2.1 AC MAINS Connect the Mains load and neutral wires to the connector terminals VAC-L and VAC-N.
TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE CONNECTIONS 3.2.3 DC OUTPUT The DC output can be used to supply power to an additional device installed inside or near the TRANSIT Ultimate. +DC-OUT Figure 10: DC output connections DC output ratings Output voltage: 23.4 VDC ± 10% Max.
CONNECTIONS COMMUNICATION 3.3.1 USB The TRANSIT Ultimate features an USB interface for service and installation purposes. The USB connector (Type B) is accessible behind the cover. While the USB interface is in use, the optional communication interface board is disabled.
TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE CONNECTIONS 3.3.2 WIEGAND / MAGSTRIPE / BARCODE The synchronous communication interface wiring uses the connections described below. The actual protocol output depends upon the reader firmware. Please refer to the firmware manual for more details.

TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE CONNECTIONS DIGITAL I/O 3.4.1 RELAY OUTPUT The relay output is automatically activated upon successful identification / authentication of a transponder. The automatic-relay-activation-mode can be configured using the firmware. Please refer to the firmware manual for more details.
CONNECTIONS 3.4.2 READ DISABLE INPUT The reading of the TRANSIT Ultimate can be completely disabled with the read disable input (RDIS). This input is commonly used in combination with a sensor (e.g. inductive loop) that detects the presence of a person or vehicle. Use always a relay contact to connect the internal 5V to the RDIS input.
CONNECTIONS 3.4.3 TAMPER SWITCH The TRANSIT Ultimate features an internal tamper switch that indicates when the cover is opened. This contact may be connected to an external alarm system. The contacts are normally closed when the cover is in place.
TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE CONNECTIONS 3.4.4 GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS Three general purpose inputs are available on the TRANSIT Ultimate. The inputs are active low. No external voltage should be applied to the inputs. Connect to ground to activate or otherwise leave unconnected.
SPECIAL CONNECTIONS 3.5.1 PROXIMITY ANTENNA Optionally a NEDAP proximity antenna can be connected to the TRANSIT Ultimate to enable simultaneously long-range and proximity identification. This is useful when controlling a gate where vehicles as well as pedestrians, cyclists and/or motorists can enter.
TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE CONNECTIONS 3.5.2 NEDAP ANTENNA MODULATION The Nedap antenna modulation interface is used to connect the TRANSIT Ultimate to NEDAP AEOS access control hardware such as the AP1001. Instead of a proximity antenna the TRANSIT Ultimate can be connected.
TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION FIRMWARE OPTIONS The TRANSIT Ultimate supports the same firmware versions as the TRANSIT Standard. Different firmware versions are available to support different features and communication protocols. For each firmware version a separate installation guide is available.
The TRANSIT Ultimate can operate in the ULTIMATE-mode or in the NORMAL-mode. In the NORMAL-mode the TAB board is bypassed. The reader is compatible with the TRANSIT Standard. In this mode the TRANSIT Ultimate can read original tags, such as Compact-Tag, Window-Button, Heavy-Duty-Tag and Boosters. Also the Ultimate-tags will work, but no authentication or other Ultimate functions are performed.
It may also be required to select a different frequency to avoid disturbance between the TRANSIT Ultimate and other 2.45GHz equipment, such as Wi-Fi access points. Please also read chapter 4.7 when experiencing interference.
CONFIGURATION READ RANGE CONTROL The read range of the TRANSIT Ultimate can be controlled with the embedded squelch function. The squelch references the received signal strength against the squelch level setting. When the received signal strength is below the squelch level no identification is possible.
TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE CONFIGURATION MICROWAVE TIME-SHARING The microwave antenna of the TRANSIT Ultimate is continuously on. This will ensure the fastest identification times. However it may cause interference on other 2.45GHz equipment. Enable the microwave time-share mode to only use the selected frequency periodically (the reader automatically switches on and off).
TRANSIT ULTIMATE | INSTALLATION GUIDE LED INDICATIONS LED INDICATIONS MAIN BOARD INDICATIONS A number of LEDs on the main board of the TRANSIT Ultimate indicate the status of the reader. The list below describes the function of each LED. Read disable LEDs...
