uPASS Reach Quick Reference

The following safety precautions should be observed during normal use, service and repair.

• All shields of the mandatory shielded cable shall be connected with safety ground.• The uPASS Reach may only be installed and serviced by qualified service personnel.• 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.

Safety precautions

Step 1 Mounting instructions

The uPASS Reach can be mounted to any surface, including directly to metal.Locate an appropriate position. Use the upper two keyholes (K) to mount thereader. Open the service cover to secure the reader using the two lower mountingpositions (L). See the mounting sketch for more information.

Step 2 Opening the server cover

The service cover can be opened to access the connections (including the USB-connector), setup the operating frequency and view the LED indicators. Open thescrews on the bottom of the uPASS Reach to unlock the service cover. Make surethe screws are completely opened (and closed when placing the cover back on).Don’t worry about losing the screws, they cannot fall out.

Connection procedure with spring cage terminal connectors. Shielded cableshall be used for all connections including the DC-supply connection.1. Strip wire lead for about 9 mm (0.35 inch).2. Push the screwdriver straight down to release the spring cage. Use a slotted, narrow-head screwdriver.3. Insert the wire lead into the wire terminal.4. Remove the screwdriver, this clamps the wire.5. Gently pull on the installed wire to make sure the connection is reliable.Note : Each connector terminal can accommodate only 1 solid or stranded wire. Wiring is normally done without ferrules. However, it is possible to use ferrules, provided that they are properly crimped.

Step 3.1 Power supplyThe uPASS Reach reader requires DC power supply in the range from 12 – 24V.Maximum current consumption is 1A @ 12VDC, 0.5A @ 24VDC.Connections:DC- Power supply 0V.DC+ Power supply 12 - 24VDC.Note: The power supply connection has an auto resetting fuse protection.

Step 3.2 Wiegand / Magstripe connection

Step 3.3 RS232, RS422

The wiegand/magstripe output format is determined by the programmed formatof the tag. Make sure to order the correct tag formatting if you want to use thewiegand or magstripe interface. See also the UHF Tag Order Guide for moreinformation (see table below).

The relay output is automatically activated upon identification of a tag. When the backward compatible processor is selected, the relay output is controlled by the backward compatible processor. Please refer to the firmware manual for details. The ‘smile’ on the front cover lights-up simultaneously with the relay output.

The uPASS Reach reader has an on-board RS232 and RS422 interface.

Note : Maximum cable length 150 meters (500 feet)

Note: Maximum cable length RS232 interface 15 meters (50 ft) Maximum cable length RS422 interface 1200 meters (4000 ft).

Step 7 Frequency selection

The uPASS Reach reader operates on the 860 – 960 MHz band. Specific frequenciesare regulated by region. Each reader is therefor set for a specific region, see theuPASS Install Guide for more info. If local regulations require frequency hopping(FHSS), then the uPASS Reach automatically selects and uses the available channels.Regions without FHSS, allow for selection of frequency channels within the selectedband when using more readers within close vicinity of each other.

If no frequency hopping is required, you should select an available frequencychannel manually. This can be realized as described below.

1. Select an available frequency channel2. Press the UP or DOWN switch once.3. When the display is on, press the UP switch to select a higher frequency and press DOWN to select a lower frequency.4. The display will automatically switch o� after 5 second.5. Alternatively the UHF tool software can be used to setup the frequency channel selection
