1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The professional duplicating machine, AD90, has been designed and
built to keep pace with the constant evolution of transponder car keys.
The AD90 key duplicator features the most innovative electronic
components in the field of radio frequencies thus allowing easy
detection, reading and cloning (duplication) of fixed code transponders
and the identification of cryptographic transponder codes.
The AD90 in addition has major features such as copying of Crypto 42
type transponders and the Texas 4C and 4D transponders. These are
additional options but make the AD90 a powerful tool.
Features:
• Read transponder
• Write onto transponder
• Copy transponder
• Software update from Internet
• Usable with PC software
• Available to be used with the ‘Chip Decoder System’
• Adaptable to future projects.
• Wide range menu language
AD90 can detect, read and duplicate (using an appropriate key blank) Philips,
Megamos, Temic and Texas transponders:
Reads fixed code transponders:
• Philips® PCF7930/31 - Silca® 33, 73
• Philips® PCF7935 40,41,42,44,45
