1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The TRANSIT Ultimate is a long-range reader, based on semi active RFID technology,
which enables automatic vehicle identification at distances of up to 10 meters (33
ft) and speeds of up to 200 km/h (125 mph).
• Robust industrial design
• Read range up to 10 meters [33 ft]
• Object speed up to 200 km/h [125 mph]
• Adjustable read range
• Selectable frequency channels
• Variety of integrated communication interfaces
• 3 color LED indication
• Tag authentication based on AES encryption
• Bi-directional tag communication
• Backwards-compatible with previous TRANSIT readers.
The TRANSIT Ultimate operates on a factory-set frequency channel. Different
frequency channels allow multiple readers to operate in close vicinity of each other
without interference.
The reader efficiently resolves typical multi-lane, entry and exit reader challenges.
The read range of the TRANSIT Ultimate can be adjusted to offer secure and reliable
identification in demanding applications.
The weatherproof TRANSIT Ultimate reader features an IP66 certified housing. The
reader operates reliable under harsh environmental conditions and is able to
withstand exposure to rain, snow and ice. Wall mounting equipment is included.
The TRANSIT Ultimate is designed for seamless and flexible integration into existing
management systems in the industry, such as security, parking, traffic and logistics.
Several communication interfaces to the host system are available such as RS232,
RS422, RS485, Profibus-DP and TCP/IP. Also open industry-standards protocols such
as Wiegand, Magstripe and Barcode are supported. Customer specific protocols can
be implemented on request.

INTRODUCTION
1.2 ULTIMATE FEATURES
The TRANSIT Ultimate enables encrypted tag authentication for the Ultimate tags:
Smartcard Booster Ultimate, LEGIC Booster Ultimate and Window Tag Ultimate. The
authentication uses encryption based upon AES 128-bit keys. Key diversification is
used to ensure that a unique encryption key is used for every tag.
Thanks to the bi-directional tag communication feature and in combination with
Smartcard-Booster Ultimate it will be possible to write information on the drivers’
access control card when the car enters or leaves a perimeter. This will enable write
actions like changing credits, offline access rights or other information changes
dynamically upon perimeter access.
The Ultimate-mode features are implemented in the TAB board. The TAB-board
performs the authentication or other Ultimate function using the bi-directional tag
communication channel at 433MHz.
mode
bypass
Figure 1: TRANSIT Ultimate block diagram
The encrypted tag authentication is performed when both antennas (433MHz and
2.45GHz) receive the same id-number. This ensures that the tag to be authenticated
is located in the well-defined directional beam in front of the reader.
1. Receive Ultimate tag id-number.
2. Send encrypted challenge to the tag.
The challenge is generated by the Security Key Pack based upon random
numbers encrypted with a diversified AES128 key.
3. Receive, decrypt and verify the encrypted challenge response from the tag.
4. When the authentication is successful, the id-number is transmitted on the
communication output(s). Wiegand, USB, etc.

2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions should be observed during normal use, service and
repair:
• The TRANSIT Ultimate shall be connected to safety ground.
• Disconnecting from (mains) power supply before removing any parts.
• The TRANSIT Ultimate shall only be installed and serviced by qualified service
personnel.
• To be sure of safety, do not modify or add anything other than mentioned in this
manual or indicated by NEDAP N.V.
2.2 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The TRANSIT Ultimate can be installed in any position. The normally expected read
range is up to 10 meters.
Usually the reader is mounted in the horizontal position. In this case the coverage
area in the horizontal plane is maximized. The horizontal beam is 80 degrees.
Horizontal mounting: 80 degrees wide read coverage.
In some applications a vertical installation is required to make use of the smaller
beam width in the vertical plane. The vertical beam is 40 degrees. This can be very
useful in applications with multiple driving lanes to prevent cross readings.
Vertical mounting: 40 degrees narrow read coverage.
The Wall Mounting Set, which make rotation in the vertical and horizontal plane
possible, is standard included with every TRANSIT Ultimate.

3.5.1 PROXIMITY ANTENNA
Optionally a NEDAP proximity antenna can be connected to the TRANSIT Ultimate to
enable simultaneously long-range and proximity identification. This is useful when
controlling a gate where vehicles as well as pedestrians, cyclists and/or motorists
can enter.
The antenna can be either a NEDAP low-frequency proximity antenna or a NEDAP
reader with RF output, such as a uPASS Access, ConveXS or another TRANSIT reader.
The green-, and red-LED output connections UL and NA are suitable to directly drive
external LEDs with max. 18mA. Note that this is not compatible with the active-low
reader inputs on the uPASS Access or ConveXS.

4.1 FIRMWARE OPTIONS
The TRANSIT Ultimate supports the same firmware versions as the TRANSIT Standard.
Different firmware versions are available to support different features and
communication protocols. For each firmware version a separate installation guide is
available.
Switches SW1-1 to SW1-8 are used to select various options within the actual
loaded firmware. They can be used for example to select the serial baud rate,
wiegand output options, etc. Refer to the specific firmware manual for details.
The firmware can be changed or updated using the TRANSIT Firmware Upgrade
software tool. Make sure that the serial communication select switch is set to

4.2 SERIAL COMMUNICATION SELECT
By default the USB or communication interface board connections will allow
communication with the TRANSIT processor (PIC). The communication protocol is
determined by the TRANSIT firmware. See also chapter 4.1 above.
The USB or communication interface board connections can also be used to
communicate with the processor located on the TAB board. This is for test purposes
and will not further be explained in this manual.

The TRANSIT Ultimate can operate in the ULTIMATE-mode or in the NORMAL-mode.
In the NORMAL-mode the TAB board is bypassed. The reader is compatible with the
TRANSIT Standard. In this mode the TRANSIT Ultimate can read original tags, such as
Compact-Tag, Window-Button, Heavy-Duty-Tag and Boosters. Also the Ultimate-tags
will work, but no authentication or other Ultimate functions are performed.
The ULTIMATE-mode only works in combination with Ultimate-tags.
4.4 RANGE BEEPER
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.

4.5 FREQUENCY SELECTION
The TRANSIT Ultimate reader operates in the 2.45GHz ISM frequency band.
When two or more readers are within a range of 15 meters (50 feet), these readers
should be set on a different operating frequency.
It may also be required to select a different frequency to avoid disturbance between
the TRANSIT Ultimate and other 2.45GHz equipment, such as Wi-Fi access points.
Please also read chapter

4.6 READ RANGE CONTROL
The read range of the TRANSIT Ultimate can be controlled with the embedded
squelch function. The squelch references the received signal strength against the
squelch level setting. When the received signal strength is below the squelch level
no identification is possible. The received signal strength becomes higher when the
transponder comes closer to the reader. When the received signal strength exceeds
the squelch level the transponder will be identified.
Figure 19: Squelch principle
Adjustment of the read range is done by enabling the squelch and setting the
squelch level with its potentiometer. To achieve the maximum read range, disable
the squelch function completely with the enable/disable squelch switch.
Two LEDs indicate the status of the squelch. When the squelch is enabled LED SQENA will be on. LED SQ-ACT is on when the transponder signal is below the squelch
level (red area in Figure 19). In chapter 5 all LED indicators are described.
