Premium Hands-Free Access Control for Vehicles and Personnel

The Motorline MA115 is an industrial-grade, ultra-high frequency (UHF) long-range RFID antenna designed to provide seamless, secure, and hands-free access control for both vehicles and personnel. Whether managing heavy-vehicle fleets at a busy commercial distribution centre, regulating access to a corporate parking garage, or upgrading security at a gated residential community, the MA115 delivers exceptional reading accuracy and speed.

By operating at high-performance UHF frequencies, this long-range RFID scanner eliminates the need for drivers to roll down their windows, swipe their cards, or use remote clickers. Combined with Motorline MB3 adhesive windshield tags, the MA115 authenticates incoming authorised assets instantly, triggering boom gates, slide gates, or industrial roller shutters before the vehicle even comes to a complete halt.

 

Key Features & Product Highlights

• Massive, Adjustable Read Range: Pinpoint tracking from 5 meters up to 15 meters, allowing you to calibrate the detection zone perfectly to prevent accidental triggers or tailgating.

• Dual Polarisation Reading Sensitivity: Advanced multi-angle scanning ensures highly accurate tag detection, even when windshield tags are positioned at varying angles.

• Universal Integration (Wiegand 26/34-bit): Seamlessly bridges into existing access control panels, security systems, and third-party management software using standard Wiegand protocols.

• All-Weather IP54 Rated Protection: Built to withstand harsh Australian environmental conditions, operating efficiently between -25°C and 55°C.

• Audible and Visual Feedback: Built-in LED lights and an integrated buzzer give immediate confirmation of successful tag validation during installation and daily operation.

• Streamlined Commercial Fleet Management: Ideal for managing logistics yards, distribution centres, forklifts, mining facilities, and shared residential estates.

Why Choose the Motorline MA115 for Your Site?

1. Unmatched Throughput for Commercial Facilities

In transport logistics and warehouse depots, time is money. The MA115 prevents bottlenecks at entry checkpoints by scanning incoming trucks or forklifts mid-approach. The rapid data processing speed dynamically opens commercial boom gates, maintaining a continuous flow of authorised traffic.

2. Tailored Security Zoning

With adjustable transmission power (0 to 30dBm), security installers can shape the exact read envelope. If your gate sits close to a busy public road, you can dial down the range to avoid scanning passing traffic. For deep setbacks, ramp the power up to the maximum 15-meter threshold for early opening mechanisms.

3. Hands-Free Personnel and Asset Tracking

While heavily optimised for windshield-mounted vehicle entry, the MA115 can read personal tags attached to high-value assets, mobile devices, or bags. This allows businesses to monitor movement through large loading bays or restricted manufacturing zones without requiring staff to stop and physically present credentials.

 

Installation & System Integration Guide

To maximise scanning accuracy, the Motorline MA115 should be installed at an elevated position alongside the driveway or entry lane.

1. Mounting Position: Secure the wall bracket between 1.5m and 2.0m above the road surface line.

2. Angle Adjustment: Tilt the face of the antenna downward at a 15° to 20° angle facing the oncoming vehicle’s windshield trajectory.

3. Tag Placement: Affix the Motorline MB3 adhesive RFID tags to the vehicle glass, keeping them away from metallic window frames or tinted metallic UV films which can block RF signals.

4. Lane Independence: Note that a single antenna cannot simultaneously process both entry and exit lanes. For bi-directional access control gates, a separate MA115 must be deployed for each directional flow.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can the Motorline MA115 be integrated into an existing building access control system?

A: Yes. Because the MA115 utilises standard Wiegand 26-bit and 34-bit communication interfaces, it can connect directly to almost any commercial access control panel or multi-door controller on the market.

Q: Does this antenna require a constant computer connection to work?

A: No. A USB connection is only required for the initial configuration, such as adjusting the reading range or setting up data prefixes. Once configured, the antenna operates independently, passing tag data straight to your access control board.

Q: How does the MA115 handle multiple vehicles arriving at the same time?

A: Utilising the advanced EPC GEN2 standard protocol, the MA115 has anti-collision algorithms that allow it to read multiple RFID tags virtually simultaneously. However, to prevent tailgating, your backend access control software should be configured to cycle the gate mechanism per unique tag read.

Q: Will it read through tinted windows or specialised glass?

A: Standard glass does not degrade the signal. However, some heavy aftermarket metallic tints, heated windscreens, or armoured glass can cause RF attenuation (signal loss). For vehicles with specialised glass, the MB3 tag can be mounted externally on a plastic front bumper, frame, or headlight casing.
