(12 feet) to present a card. The handsfree access system is made up of a TRANSIT Entry reader and a transponder. TRANSIT Entry readers are installed next to a door or gate. A long range transponder visible in line of sight of the reader will be identified at...
• Disconnect the power supply before removing or installing any parts. • To be sure of safety, do not modify or add anything to the TRANSIT Entry other than mentioned in this installation guide or indicated by NEDAP N.V.
Once the adjustable mounting bracket is assembled, attach the bracket to the wall or mast. After that the TRANSIT Entry can be mounted onto the bracket. The ball and socket joint can be used to adjust the reader’s orientation. Tighten the hex screw on top of the joint to fix the correct orientation.
2.5.1 AVAILABLE INTERFACE BOARDS Various optional interface boards are also available for the TRANSIT Entry. Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface board Connects the TRANSIT Entry to an Ethernet network using the TCP/IP protocol.
2.5.2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Disconnect the power supply. 2. Remove the complete front cover from the TRANSIT Entry. 3. Place the interface board on the 14-pin header K1. Make sure it’s firmly positioned and makes good contact with connector K1.
TRANSIT Entry 3 CONNECTIONS Wire connections to the TRANSIT Entry are user friendly spring cage terminal connectors. Connection procedure with spring cage terminal connectors. 1. Strip wire lead for about 9 mm ( 0.35 inch 2. Push the screwdriver straight down to release the...
TRANSIT Entry 3.1 POWER SUPPLY The TRANSIT Entry requires DC power supply in the range from 12 – 24V. Maximum current consumption is 1A @ 12VDC, 0.5A @ 24VDC. Connections: Power supply 0V. Should be connected to a protective earth connection.
TRANSIT Entry 3.2 COMMUNICATION 3.2.1 RS232 CONNECTION The TRANSIT Entry has an on-board RS232 interface. This interface does not support any hardware handshake signals. The communication protocol, baud rate, data format and flow control depend upon the reader firmware. See firmware manual for details.
TRANSIT Entry 3.2.2 RS422 CONNECTION The TRANSIT Entry has an on-board RS422 interface. The communication protocol, baud rate, data format and flow control depend upon the reader firmware. See firmware manual for details. The RS422 interface is similar to the RS232 interface. The RS422 interface is commonly used where longer cable lengths are required.
TRANSIT Entry 3.2.4 USB CONNECTION The TRANSIT Entry features an USB interface for service and installation purposes. The USB connector (Type B) is accessible behind the service cover. USB type B Figure 11: USB interface Note: While the USB interface is in use, the on-board RS232 and RS422 interfaces are disabled.
TRANSIT Entry 3.3.2 READ DISABLE INPUT The reading of the TRANSIT Entry can be completely 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. Use always a relay contact to connect the internal 5V to the RDIS input.
TRANSIT Entry 3.3.4 GENERAL PURPOSE OUTPUTS Three general purpose inputs are available on the TRANSIT Entry reader. The installed firmware may use these outputs for synchronous communication interfaces such as Wiegand, Barcode and Magstripe. See chapter 3.2.3 for more details.
An internal magnet provides tamper indication when the service cover is opened. This contact may be connected to an external alarm system. The contacts are normally closed when the cover is in place. Tamper switches of multiple TRANSIT Entry reader may be connected in series. Connections: Tamper switch (normally closed)
TRANSIT Entry 5 LED INDICATIONS A number of LED’s indicate the current status of the TRANSIT Entry reader. Figure 18: LED locations Table 1 below describes the function of each LED. Description LED bar indicating the received tag signal strength. This LED bar may also indicate RX LEVEL the presence of radio interference.
TRANSIT Entry 6 FREQUENCY SELECTION The TRANSIT Entry reader operates in the 2.45GHz frequency band. When two or more readers are within a range of 15 meters , these readers should be set on (50 feet) a different operating frequency. The selected frequency has to comply with local radio regulations.
7 READ RANGE CONTROL (SQUELCH) 7.1 PRINCIPLE The read range of the TRANSIT Entry 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 Entry 8 IDENTIFICATION The TRANSIT Entry reader is always reading (except when disabled with the read disable input, see chapter 3.3.2). Automatically upon identification of a transponder the relay will be activated, the ‘smile’ lights-up and an event message is generated on the communication interface(s).
TRANSIT Entry 9 FIRMWARE UPGRADE The firmware in the TRANSIT Entry’s processor can be upgraded by means of the serial interface (RS232, RS422 or USB). The upgrade is performed by the ‘PIC downloader’ application. The upgrade procedure is described below.
