Two modifications of the U-PROX TAG device were released:

• The first modification worked in the “beacon” and “push-button” modes. It was supplied both in old cases without a light guide and in new cases with a light guide. Estimated production period – until spring-summer 2023.
• The second, current modification supports switching between the push-button-only mode and the simultaneous beacon and push-button modes. By default, the push-button-only mode is set. Production is expected to start in spring-summer 2023.

See the archive for a general description of the content and recommendations – the file “ReadMe.txt“, as well as the document “U-Prox TAG – operation logic.pdf” in the root of the archive directory “FirmwareReaders”;

and documents for older firmware versions are in the directory “FirmwareReaders\U-Prox ver.2.xx\TAG\” – “Operation_logic_TAG.pdf”.

  • After the update, the reader will support TAG, but will not recognize ASK/FSK identifiers.

• SL v1, version 2.xx, as well as U-PROX mini BLE or U-PROX mini MF
  • Download the firmware from the catalog
  • FirmwareReaders\U-Prox ver.2.xx\TAG\.
