uPASS Access
1 INTRODUCTION
The uPASS Access reader offers a revolutionary and enduring solution for hands-free door access. The uPASS
Access has the dimensions of a conventionally access control reader but offers read range unmatched in the
industry. The uPASS Access offers identification up to 2 meter (6 feet) using the latest UHF technology.
The uPASS Access includes a RS485 interface, a wiegand/magstripe and a RF-modulation interface.
The uPASS Access can also be connected to NEDAP AEOS access control hardware such as the AP1001, using the
RF-modulation interface.
The uPASS Access does not offer the TRANSIT compatibility features.
The uPASS Access is equipped with a fixed shielded cable pigtail, 12 x 0.14 mm
cable shield shall be connected to the metal case of the external device or external devices.
In the case of extending this pigtail cable, ONLY shielded cables shall be used and all shields shall be connected
to the metal case of the external device(s).
1.1 SUPPORTED TAGS
Any EPC Class 1 Gen 2 tag is supported by the uPASS Access.
NEDAP formatted UHF tags can have the following formats:
• N EDAP UHF wiegand tags
These tags will contain all wiegand information including facility code and parity bits. All wiegand formats
can be supported. The reader transparently sends this information via the wiegand outputs. There is no
need to change any DIP-switches or configuration settings. See chapter 3.2.3 for wiring de ta ils.
2
, length 5 meter (15 feet). The
Note: The Wiegand output format is determined by the tag and not by the read e r.
• N EDAP UHF magstripe tags
These tags will contain all magstripe information. The reader transparently sends this information onto the
magstripe interface. There is no need to change any DIP-switches or configuration settings. See chapter
3.2.3 for wiring d etails.
Note: The magstripe output format is determined by the tag and not by the reader.
• N EDAP UHF XS tag
These tags are especially programmed in the same format as our 2.45GHz AVI tags (Compact-Tag, Window-
Button and Heavy-Duty-Tag). The tags will also have a customer-code and id-number. The reader will
modulate the ta g-info onto the Nedap antenna interface output, which can be connected to NEDAP AEOS
access control hardware s u ch as the AP1001.
Note: See also the 'decode nedap xs' feature as described in chapter 5.2.2.

1.2 TAG SECURITY
EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags were introduced as a possible successor to the barcode with added
functionalities. The tag emit s its EPC in pl ain text. This makes the tags vulnerable to cloning and counterfeiting
attacks. Unlike many 13MHz smartcards, EPC tags do not support any DES, 3DES or AES encryption.
EPC tags contain a data field known as the Tag Identifier (TID). At the discretion of the EPC manufacturer, the
value may be factory programmed and locked, ensuring that tags have a unique identity and (theoretically)
cannot be cross-copied. This TID based anti-cloning mechanism is not considered to be a strong protection.
NEDAP UHF tags support a locked serialized TID and the uPASS Access reader can be configured to read the TID
data field.
In addition NEDAP has also implemented an advanced anti-cloning and anti -counterfeiting method based upon
a two way authentication. This feature is su pported in combination with all NEDAP UHF tags.
By default the uPASS Access reader is configured to read any EPC ta g.
We encourage customers to enable the TID-check or the two way authentication. But also advise not to
completely rely on these methods in high-security applications.

2 INSTALLATION
2.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The following safety precautions should be observed during normal use, service and repair.
• The uPASS Access may only be installed and serviced by qualified service personnel.
• Disconnect the power supply before (dis)connecting any wires, uPASS Access is NOT hot-swappable, so
when making or changing connections, powe r mu st be switched OFF.
• The cable shield shall be connected with safety ground and the metal case of the external device(s).
• To be sure of safety, do not modify or add anything to the uPASS Access other than mentioned in this
installation guide or indica ted by NEDAP N.V.
2.2 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The uPASS Access can be mounted to any surface, including directly to metal. See the picture below for details
about the dimensions.
Figure 1: uPASS Access dimensions (mm)
Mount the base-plate on the required location.
Ensure that it is placed correctly covering the cable entry hole. Properly fix the base-plate into its position using
the 2 screws. When mounting on a stone or concrete wall drill 5mm holes for the plugs. When mounting on
wood, drill with 2.5mm.

Install the uPASS Access reader onto the base-plate.
1. Feed the cable through the cable entry hole. Important note: minimum bending radiu s 30mm.
2. Attach the top of the uPASS Access onto the base-plate.
3. Fix the assembly using the screw on the bottom.

3.1 POWER SUPPLY
The uPASS Access requ ire s DC power supply in the range from 12 – 24V.
Maximum current cons umption is 1A @ 12VDC, 0.5A @ 24VDC.
Connections:
Power supply 12 - 24VDC.
Power supply 0V / DC-ground.

3.2 COMMUNICATION
3.2.1 RS485
The uPASS Access reader has a RS485 interface for communication with a host system or for configuring reader
settings. The RS485 interface is a 2-wire half-duplex serial communication interface using balanced lines.
Connections:
RS485 A- Balanced RX/TX
RS485 A+ Balanced RX/TR
Shield connected to DC-ground.
Note: The RS485 interface is disabled while the USB interface is in use!
Extending this connection beyond the 5 meter pig tail length shall ONLY be allowed using shielded twisted pair
cable(2 x 2 x 0.25 mm
pF/meter.
The second twisted pair shall be used for the DC power supply.
The shield shall be connected to the metal case of the external device.

) as long as the total length is shorter then 1200 meters, 6000 feet, cable capacity < 100
3.2.2 USB
The uPASS Access reader fe atures an USB interface fo r service, installation and fir mware upgrade purposes. The
Mini-USB connector is located on the bottom of the device and can only be reached when the bottom screw is
opened and the uPASS Access is lifted away from the base-plate. This ensures that unauthorized modifications
to the reader settings can be detected using the tamper switch.
The USB interface can be used to configure the reader using the UHFTOOL software.
Note: While the shielded USB cable is connected, the RS485 interf ace is d isa bled !
The maximum shielded ca bl e le ngt h sha ll be < 2 meter.
USB Driver installation
Make sure your computer is connected to the internet. The driver should install automatically via Windows
update when the uPASS Access reader 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.
