1 Introduction
The uPASS Access is an ultra-small UHF RFID reader for handsfree door access.
Based passive UHF technology, people are identified up to 2 meters (
6.5 feet).
Typical applications include hands-free door access in hospitals, office buildings, gated communities, care homes
and universities.
The uPASS Access is ideal for door post mounting at a height of about 1.5 meters (
5 feet). It can be installed directly
onto a wall next to a door, without requiring additional mounting accessories. The reader is IP65 rated, so it can be
used indoors as well as outdoors. Installation cable 5 meter (
15 feet) is included.
The uPASS Access supports a variety of industry-standard communication interfaces and protocols, such as RS485,
Wiegand, Magstripe (clock & data) and the Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP). This enables seamless integration
into any existing or new access control or parking system.
