  • Page 5: Introduction

    UHF the uPASS Reach reader offers a cost effective and enduring solution for parking access. The system is based on an uPASS Reach reader and an UHF tag. The readers are installed next to the gate on a maximum height of 2 meters.

  • Page 6: 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 Reach. This processor will support any firmware version developed for the TRANSIT reader, including P61, P81 and Q70. See separate TRANSIT firmware documentation.

  • Page 7: Supported Tags

    Reach | installation guide 1.4 Supported tags Any EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tag is supported by the uPASS Reach. NEDAP formatted UHF tags can have the following formats: NEDAP UHF Wiegand tags • These tags will contain all Wiegand information including facility code and parity bits. All Wiegand formats can be supported.

  • Page 8: Tag Security

    EPC number to ensure that the keys are different for each tag. Required is that the tags contain an EPC Gen2 V2 compliant RFID chip. Refer to NEDAP uPASS how to order guide for product numbers.

  • Page 22: Digitial I/O

    Reach | installation guide 3.5 Digitial I/O 3.5.1 Relay output By default, the relay output is automatically activated upon identification of a tag. In OSDP operation, the relay output is set with command OSDP_OUT output #0. When the TRANSIT compatible processor is selected, the relay output is controlled by this processor. Please refer to the corresponding firmware manual for details.

  • Page 23: Read Disable Input

    3.5.2 Read disable input The reading of the uPASS Reach 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 a potential-free (relay) contact to connect the internal 5V to the RDIS input.

  • Page 24: General Purpose Input

    Reach | installation guide 3.5.3 General purpose input A general-purpose input is available on the uPASS Reach reader. The function is described in the firmware manual.
