FlexPass is the new series of readers developed by Motorola to create a product that suits all situations. These Readers still work at 125KHz just as the ASP Series does. The reason these are so versatile is simple.

Different Style Cover / Same Reader.

There are only two Reader Modules that are sold in the FlexPass range. All covers are interchangeable between these two modules.The first module (part No FPC-0500A) provides for the Slimline and Wallswitch range of covers and has a 12.1cm read range (This module is a similar size to the ASR-603 and 605 module). The second module (part No FPC-0200A) provides for the midrange line of covers and has a 30.5cm read range. This model is a similar size to the ASR-610. The FlexPass Long-Range Arch Reader is specifically designed for long range applications. With a maximum read range of 70.1cm with a passive tag, like the ASC-121, and up to 3 metres with an active VehicleTag, it is ideal for carparks and truck entries.

• QuickFlash TM for immediate user feedback.
• SelfTest TM for installer assistance during installation
• WatchDog TM for increased supervisory control.
• Independently controlled audio tone and tri-color status LEDs.
• Field programmability via ProxSmith TM software toolkit (available separately) and option cards.
• Mounting on most flat surfaces.
• Indoor/outdoor operation.
• Attractive, contemporary styling.
• FSM output.
• Frequency agility.
• Visual indicator of operating frequency.
• FlexPass Readers have up to 172 field programmable bits of Wiegand formatted information for universal compatibility with all Motorola Wiegand interface card applications.
• The card reader has a re-present mode in which the card must be taken from the reader field before being read again. This feature eliminates multiple reads from a single card presentation.
• Readers transmit at a 125kHz frequency and require 4 to 16VDC input for operation.
• The card reader is fully weatherised, and has an operating temperature of -35 to 65 degrees Celsius, and an operating humidity of 5-95% non-condensing.
• FlexPass readers are made from polycarbonate material, and are available with the following interchangeable covers and colours: Arch, Linear, Wave or Curve. Colours include: onyx, graphite, snow, taupe, plum, forest, or marine.
• All FlexPass card readers are supplied with a 3-year warranty.

Do you need an open format such as 26 Bit Wiegand yet you also need that added security? FlexPass can be programmed with a password that allows higher security than ever before. It adds an additional level of security to all installations, at the reader interface. The password can be up to a ten digit number and acts as an encryption code that is programmed into the readers as well as the cards. The reader will not acknowledge a card that is not programmed with the correct password. The first thing the reader will do is excite the card and look for the password to match the password in the reader. If this password is found in the card, the information will then be sent to the controller and verified for access clearance..If there is no match found by the reader it will not acknowledge the card. This saves time by only sending approved data to the controller and not information from other sites. Passwords can be designed for individual sites to stop any duplication of passwords occurring.

Self Test™

When power is first applied to the FlexPass reader, it performs an internal circuit Self Test™. If it appears to be functioning properly, the reader will flash the amber LED and beep twice. After the Self Test™ is completed, the reader is in a READY status mode and you may present the card to the reader. The readers are capable of outputting in either Wiegand or magnetic stripe formatted data.

QuickFlash™

With QuickFlash™ activated, when a valid card is presented, the LED will flash and the audio tone (beeper) will be activated for 70 to 100 milliseconds. This gives, the user immediate feedback that the card was read and the data was sent to the controller.

WatchDog™

The WatchDog will output an 8-bit "10101010" pattern approximately once every minute over the data lines. This monitors the data communication circuit between the host and reader for communication failure or tampering. This option card is available with either Wiegand or magnetic stripe interfaces.

FlexPass Readers require the use of linear, series pass, power supplies. Switching power supplies are not recommended because the use of these supplies may reduce the read range. Do not use a reader’s power supply for other equipment, particularly when operating switched inductive loads such as motor control relays and solenoids (i.e., magnetic locks, latch or strike). Doing so will affect the reader operation. Use a separate dedicated power supply for Motorola Indala proximity readers. Because this technology is based on radio frequency and because nearby environmental sources of electrical interference may affect the performance of the reader, below is a list of precautions that should be considered when installing a reader:.• Metal affects radio signals. Do not cover the face of the reader with metal of any kind.

• Reduce or eliminate unwanted signals from external sources.
• Do not place the reader wiring bundled in conduit with AC power cables, lock
• power, or signal wiring.
• Maintain all reader wiring a minimum distance of 12" (30 cm) away from other wiring such as AC power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring, or wiring to electric locking devices, etc.
• Do not install the reader in areas where sources of broad spectrum EMI noise may be present. Examples of EMI broad spectrum noise producers are motors, pumps, generators, AC-DC converters, uninterruptible power supplies, AC switching relays, light dimmers, computer monitors, and CRTs.
