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.
Step 1 Mounting instructions
The TRANSIT Entry can be mounted to any surface, even directly onto metal. Locate an appropriate
position. Use the enclosed mounting drawing to drill appropriate 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 mounting sketch for more information.

Step 2 Opening the service cover
Open the screws on the bottom of the TRANSIT Entry to
unlock the service cover. Once the service cover is unlocked,
lift it off.
Make sure the screws are completely opened (and closed
when replacing the cover). Don’t worry about losing the
screws, they cannot fall out.
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.

Step 3 Installation procedure
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Remove the complete front cover from the
TRANSIT Entry.
3. Place the interface board on the 14-pin
header K1. Make sure it’s firmly positioned
and makes good contact with connector
K1.
4. Tighten the two screws to fix the board
into place.
5. Read the board’s installation guide for
additional notes like address settings,
jumper settings and wiring details.
6. Place the front cover on the TRANSIT
Entry back on.
Step 4 Connections
Wire connections to the TRANSIT Entry are user friendly spring cage terminal connectors. Connection
procedure with spring cage terminal connectors.
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 1: Each connector terminal can accommodate only 1 solid or stranded wire.
Note 2: Wiring is normally done without ferrules. However, it is possible to use ferrules, provided that they
are properly crimped.
4.1 Power supply
The TRANSIT Entry requires DC power supply in the range from 12 – 24V. Maximum current
consumption is 1A @ 12VDC, 0.5A @ 24VDC.

4.1 RS232 connection
The TRANSIT Entry has an on-board RS232
interface. This interface does not support any
hardware handshake signals. The communication
protocol, baud rate, data format and flow control
depend upon the reader firmware. See firmware
manual for details
4.2 WIEGAND, MAGSTRIPE, BARCODE connection
The synchronous communication interface wiring
depends upon the selected communicati on protocol
and the reader firmware. Please refer to the
firmware manual for more details.

Step 5 Digital I/O
5.1 Relay output
The relay output is automatically activated upon
identification of a transponder. This behavior can
be changed and configured by means of the
firmware. Please refer to the firmware manual for
more details.
The ‘smile’ on the front cover lights-up
simultaneously with the relay output.

Max. switching power: 62.5VA / 60W
5.2 Read disable input
The reading of the TRANSIT Entry 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. When the RDIS input is unused the
reader is enabled.

Warning: Using an external 5V supply can damage the unit.
5.3 Tamper switch
An internal magnet provides tamper indication
when the service cover is opened. This contact
Tamper switch
may be connected to an external alarm system.
The contacts are normally closed when the cover
is in place. Tamper switches of multiple TRANSIT

Step 6 DIP-SWITCH settings
The DIP-switches are located behind the service
cover. The function of the switches SW2-1 through
SW2-8 is dependant upon the installed firmware.

Please refer to the firmware manual for details.
The switches SW1-1 through SW1-4 are
described below.
6.1 Range beeper ON / OFF
Enable or disable the internal range beeper. The beeper indicates transponder identification. The signal
strength of the identified transponder determines the beeping frequency. When the transponder is near
to the reader the range beeper will beep fast.
