frequency identification (RFID) tag. The tag is programmed with identification
information. SmartPass receives and decodes the tag data carried by the reflected

SmartPass Model AI1611
SmartPass Model AI1611 uses the 2450 MHz frequency. This model is also
available in a European version for customers whose applications must meet CE
mark requirements. You must indicate on the SmartPass
Order Entry Form if you
require the CE mark version.
Accessories
TransCore recommends Part No. 54-1600-001, the accessory bracket kit, if you need
more flexibility when defining the read zone. The accessory bracket allows
SmartPass to be adjusted up, down, left, and right. You can use this kit if SmartPass
will be mounted to a flat surface, such as a wall, ceiling, or overhead structure.
Communications Interface
The SmartPass system communicates with the external host computer through an
asynchronous serial line or a Wiegand interface. SmartPass receives commands to
set up the system configuration and transfers information from the tag to the host
computer. This serial line can be an RS–232 interface or an RS–422 interface. Select
