UPASS REACH | INSTALLATION GUIDE Introduction SUPPORTED TAGS Any EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tag is supported by the uPASS Reach. NEDAP formatted UHF tags can have the following formats: Note NEDAP UHF Wiegand tags • The Wiegand output format...
Disconnect the power supply before removing or installing any parts. • To be sure of safety, do not modify or add anything to the uPASS Reach • 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 round masts 125mm ( mast. After that the uPASS Reach can be mounted onto the bracket. The ball and inch 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.

UPASS REACH | INSTALLATION GUIDE Connections DIGITAL I/O 3.5.1 RELAY OUTPUT By default the relay output is automatically activated upon identification of a tag. When the TRANSIT compatible processor is selected, the relay output is controlled by this processor. Please refer to the corresponding firmware manual for details.
Connections 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 always a relay contact to connect the internal 5V to the RDIS input.
UPASS REACH | INSTALLATION GUIDE Connections 3.5.4 TAMPER SWITCH 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.
Compatibility mode selection. Enable UHF processor or TRANSIT compatible processor (e.g. P61, P81 or Q70). This selection determines the enabled communication protocol and the relay output control. Remember that the TRANSIT compatible processor only operates in combination with NEDAP UHF XS formatted tags. SW1-1 SW1-1 UHF processor TRANSIT compatible processor (e.g.
UPASS REACH | INSTALLATION GUIDE DIP Switch Settings ENABLE TESTMODE (SW1-3) While the 'testmode' is enabled, the outputs O-1, O-2 and O-3 continuously output a special test pattern. This is useful to test the Wiegand and Magstripe connections. Leave this switch in ON position when using the TRANSIT compatible processor.
UPASS REACH | INSTALLATION GUIDE LED Indications LED INDICATIONS A number of LED’s indicate the current status of the uPASS Reach reader. RESET TEST Figure 23: 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 the presence of radio interference.
Uhf Frequencies UHF FREQUENCIES RADIO REGULATIONS The uPASS Reach reader operates on the 860 – 960 MHz band. Regulations in this band are not standardized world-wide. Generally the regulations can be divided into several regions. Per region a specific frequency band is available. This frequency band is divided into frequency channels.
Select NEDAP to read only Nedap tags. NEDAP DUAL-ID (introduced in firmware version 2.29) enables the uPASS to search for Nedap vehicle-id tags. When a vehicle-id tag is found, the uPASS searches for driver-id tags. Example 1: Read only NEDAP UHF tags and use two way authentication:...
UPASS REACH | INSTALLATION GUIDE Reader Configuration By default the data on NEDAP XS formatted tags will be transmitted to the TRANSIT compatible processor or the the NEDAP antenna modulation interface. In this case the UPASS will not perform any decoding.
UPASS REACH | INSTALLATION GUIDE Reader Configuration which the reader will search for driver-id tags. This setting is only used in the NEDAP DUAL-ID mode. Introduced in firmware version 2.29. The (random) RF off time parameter can be used to enable time sharing between multiple readers on the same frequency.
Wiegand or magstripe interface. 'Enable vehicle id-events' allows enabling or disabling the id-event messages for vehicle-ids. This may be useful in combination with the NEDAP DUAL-ID mode and an access control panel that does not support the dual-id feature.
