10 meter (33 feet). The uPASS Go complies with the ISO18000-6C and EPC Gen2 directive. As the uPASS Go is used in combination with battery free UHF (EPC Gen2) tags, the solution is cost efficient. It is ideal for convenient vehicle access to car parks, gated communities and staff parking areas.
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.
Setup frequency The uPASS Go reader operates on the UHF 860 – 960 MHz band. Regulations in this band are not standardized world- wide. It is important to ensure that the reader is operated using the correct country / frequency setting.
Nedap N.V. 3.2 Antenna coverage The uPASS Go antenna has a detection coverage area as shown in the picture below. The read range, which is up to 10 meters, can be adjusted by means of a software configuration setting.
Go | installation guide 3.3 Mounting instruction The uPASS Go is intended for vehicle access control. It offers a read range up to 10 meter. Recommended installation height is between 2 and 3 meters. The directional antenna can be “aimed” at the lane where vehicles are to be identified. The antenna is circular polarized, which means that the tags may be installed in any orientation.
Go | installation guide 3.3.2 Mounting extension set A mounting extension set (art. no. 9567593) is separately available for situations where the reader must be installed in a way which is not possible with the standard set. The extension set allows the reader to be installed in 0 – 90 degrees angles in 2 directions (left-right + up-down).
Go | installation guide 3.4 Weather Protection Hood The Weather Protection hood is recommended when the reader is installed in direct sunlight. The Weather Protection Hood must be ordered separately (art. no. 9567658). Figure 6: Dimensions Weather Protection Hood The Weather Protection Hood is installed over the reader.
Go | installation guide 4 Connections The connection cables must be inserted through the cable gland. This cable gland supports up to 3 cables. Max number of cables: Max cable diameter: 6 mm Important If less than 3 cables are used then keep the plugs in place to ensure watertightness.
Note The power supply must be Class 2 (PS2, limited power) and must be in compliance with local regulations. 4.3 Communication The uPASS Go reader has several communication interfaces, which all work simultaneously.

Go | installation guide 4.3.2 RS485 The uPASS Go has an RS485 interface. The communication protocol can be CR/LF (default) or OSDP. The RS485 interface can be used for point-to-point and multi-drop communication. Connections Connector Description RS485 RS485A RS485-A (negative)
UHFTOOL software. Web server The uPASS Go hosts a web server. You can use any web browser to connect to the embedded web server. The web server can be used to setup and configure the reader settings. The default login credentials (username/password) can be found on a sticker on the inside of the read cover.
Go | installation guide 4.4 Digital I/O 4.4.1 Relay output The relay output will operate differently depending upon the selected RS485 communication protocol. CR/LF • The relay is by default operated in automatic mode. This means that the relay is activated for every tag read and stays activated for the tag hold time.
(100 ft) 4.4.3 General purpose inputs Three (3) general-purpose inputs (active-low) are available on the uPASS Go reader. In standard operation the inputs can be used to control the LED and buzzer. See chapter 8.2.4. In OSDP operation these input are reported through OSDP_ISTATR message inputs number 0, 1 and 2.
The tamper switch status is reported through OSDP_LSTATR event messages. 4.4.5 Nedap antenna interface The Nedap antenna interface is used to connect the reader to a TCC270 for TRANSIT compatibility. The TCC270 will support any TRANSIT Ultimate firmware such as for example P61 or Q70.

In automatic mode -> Okay. System standby Automatic mode The uPASS Go will automatically set the LED color upon identification. During stand-by the LED will be blue and upon identification it will be green. These colors can be changed in the configuration menu.
7.1 Frequency regulations The uPASS Go reader operates on the UHF 860 – 960 MHz band. Regulations in this band are not standardized world- wide. It is important to ensure that the reader is operated using the correct country / frequency setting. Normally the country of operation is already preconfigured at Nedap.
Go | installation guide 8 Reader configuration 8.1 Introduction The reader supports settings for read configuration and output configuration, such as adjusting the read-range, network settings and communication protocol details. The configuration settings can be changed using different methods and through different interfaces.
Go | installation guide 8.1.3 Web server The uPASS Go hosts a web server. You can use any web browser to connect to the embedded web server. The web server can be used to setup and configure the reader settings.
