INTRODUCTION
1.1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Nedap’s hands free
access solution represents the latest in technology for secure
hands free 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 hands free
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 whe
n presenting an ID badge when accessing a
door, but where high security needs to be maintained.
Moreover it offers hands free 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 hands free 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 identifi
ed 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 sta
ndard 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.

2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 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 B9B for 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.

2.5 INSTALLING AN OPTIONAL INTERFACE BOARD
Make sure to follow all safety precautions outlined in chapter 2.1 and disconnect the
power supply when installing or replacing an optional interface board.
2.6 AVAILABLE INTERFACE BOARDS
Various optional interface boards are also available for the TRANSIT Entry.
Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface board
Connects the TRANSIT Entry to an Ethernet network using the
TCP/IP protocol.
See for detailed information about the Ethernet communication
board its user's manual.
MTR Module (Multi Technology Reader Module)
The MTR Module enables proximity reading of many
transponders types such as HID Prox, EM read-only, Mifare and
HID iCLASS.

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.
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.
