TRANSIT Entry
1INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Nedap’s handsfree access solution represents the latest in technology for secure
handsfree doors access and other RFID applications. TRANSIT Entry combines the
convenience of traditional door automation with the security of restricted areas.
It makes a perfect fit to any door or vehicle gate environment where handsfree
access is required. The system reads at distances up to 4 meter (12 feet) reliable and
consistently. This has great appeal to people, especially in situations where it is
inconvenient to use their hands when presenting an ID badge when accessing a
door, but where high security needs to be maintained.
Moreover it offers handsfree vehicle access to gated areas. Vehicles are identified
at a range up to 4 meters (12 feet), without the hassle of having to open the window
to present a card.
The handsfree access system is made up of a TRANSIT Entry reader and a
transponder. TRANSIT Entry readers are installed next to a door or gate. A long
range transponder visible in line of sight of the reader will be identified at
distances up to 4 meter (12 feet).
1.2 OPTIONAL CARD TECHNOLOGY READER INTERFACE
The TRANSIT Entry reader also features an optional proximity and ISO compliant
smartcard interface. This Multi-Technology Reader Module (MTR) enables the
reader to read standard proximity cards and smartcard CSN. This also allows the
reader to operate with existing credentials when presented to the face of the
reader.
The MTR supports the following card technologies:
•120-125 kHz: HID prox, Nedap and EM read-only.
•13.56 MHz: HID iClass CSN, MIFARE, LEGIC Advant UID, ISO14443A and
ISO15693.

2INSTALLATION
2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions should be observed during normal use, service
and repair.
•The TRANSIT Entry must be connected with safety ground.
•The TRANSIT Entry 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 TRANSIT Entry other
than mentioned in this installation guide or indicated by NEDAP N.V.
2.2 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The TRANSIT Entry can be mounted to any surface, including directly to metal.
Locate an appropriate position. Use the upper two keyholes (K) to mount the
reader. Open the service cover to secure the reader using the two lower mounting
positions (L).
See the picture below for details about the dimensions and the locations of the
mounting positions.

2.3 ADJUSTABLE MOUNTING BRACKET
With the adjustable mounting bracket, the TRANSIT Entry can be ‘aimed’ at the
desired detection area. It can also be used for mounting the reader to round or
square masts (see appendix Bfor part numbers).
Figure 2: Adjustable mounting bracket
Once the adjustable mounting bracket is assembled, attach the bracket to the wall
or mast. After that the TRANSIT Entry can be mounted onto the bracket. The ball
and 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.

2.4 OPENING THE SERVICE COVER
The service cover can be opened to access the connections, control the read
range, setup the operating frequency and view the LED indicators.
Open the screws on the bottom of the device to unlock the service cover. Once
the service cover is unlocked, lift it off.
Figure 4: Opening the service cover
Note: Make sure the screws are completely opened (and closed when placing
the cover back on). Don’t worry about losing the screws, they cannot fall
out.

The TRANSIT Entry features an USB interface for service and installation purposes.
The USB connector (Type B) is accessible behind the service cover.
USB type B
Figure 11: USB interface
Note: While the USB interface is in use, the on-board RS232 and RS422
interfaces are disabled. Also when an optional interface board is placed
(e.g. TCP/IP) the board will be disabled as long as the USB interface is in
use.
USB Driver installation
Make sure your computer is connected to the internet. The driver should install
automatically via Windows update when the TRANSIT Entry is connected to your
PC via the USB cable. Follow the driver installation wizard. If you do not see the
Windows update pop-up, you can manually install the driver. To manually install,
you need to go to FTDI’s website at www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and
download the VCP (Virtual Com Port) drivers for your operating system. Drivers for
MacOS and Linux are available as well.

that detects the presence of a person or vehicle. Use always a relay contact to
connect the internal 5V to the RDIS input. When the RDIS input is unused the
reader is enabled.
Connections:
