- Controlling outputs, 6 outputs available to activate e.g. lights, motors, valves, relays

- Reading inputs, 6 inputs available for e.g. sensors, switches Output/input 1 till 4 ( I/O 1 till I/O 4 ) can be used to control feed motors or as normal output/input Output/input 5 and 6 ( I/O 5 till I/O 6 ) can only be used as output/input. The use of feed motors or output/input must be configured in the software (see manual of the V-pu) Following antenna types can be used :

Identification of tags (134.2 kHz FDX/HDX)

- V-sense antennas

- EWA transformer with stainless steel antenna strip

- HDPE antenna with HDPE antenna tuner A booster (VP1002) can be used to amplify the antenna field for high performance identification Reference manuals :

press button until display is empty How to use the display and push button Normally the display is off. If there is no connection to the V-pu the address is shown. It is also possible some program states of a behaviour component are shown during operation. Activate the menu Scroll down Select Change and store Check a setting The display is normally automatically switched off after 30 minutes. press short on the button, the display menu is shown press short press until blinking select item to change, open item by pressing till blinking, change by pressing short, store by pressing to blinking select the item to check, press until blinking, first value shown is actual setting VP1001-200PM-00-ISO Reader Motor Control 4-2007/1.0 Page 4 5 Antenna adjustments Antenna tuning After first time power up the antenna tuning must be checked. Check the TUNING led, green is OK and means the antenna is correctly tuned. When the green led is not ON the antenna must be tuned. Antenna tuning :

- Turn Lt on the antenna till the green led is ON (use a plastic screw driver) Green on Antenna tuning ok Red on Red on Red on All off Antenna out of range, turn to the right till green led is on Antenna out of range, turn to the left till green led is on No antenna connected or low antenna signal Antenna switch off by the software If there is no antenna led on, software has set the antenna field off, first set the antenna in ID test mode by using the display/push button. Antenna power Default the antenna power is set to maximum (99) and needs no adjustments. Lowering the antenna power will reduce the reading distance of the antenna. Check the antenna power The antenna power level is shown on the display in the service menu at HF option AP (Adjust Power)

- Select menu option AP (Adjust Power) on the display by using the push button next to the display

- Push the button until the display starts to blink, a value will appear on the display

- The value on the display is the actual power setting. 99 is the default factory setting.

- To leave the menu without modifying the settings press the button until the display blanks (press about 4 seconds) Modify the antenna power

- Select the actual antenna power on the display (see above check antenna power)

- Press the button shortly, the first value will change

- Press until the desired value, hold now the button until blinking

- The second digit can be changed in the same way

- When the desired value is on the display, press until the display blinks

- The next menu item AS is now indicated.

- To leave the service menu and return to normal operation, press the button until the display blanks

(press about 4 seconds) VP1001-200PM-00-ISO Reader Motor Control 4-2007/1.0 Page 5 Antenna squelch Antenna squelch is a possibility to set a threshold for the ID level of a tag. It means the antenna power is still the same, but the software will not transfer weak received tag numbers. Default the antenna squelch is set to minimum (-0). This means no threshold. Maximum is -9. Check the antenna squelch level The antenna squelch level is shown on the display in the service menu at HF, option AS (Adjust Squelch)

- Select menu option AS (Adjust Squelch) on the display by using the push button next to the display

- Push the button until the display starts to blink, a value will appear on the display

- The value on the display is the actual power setting. -0 is the default factory setting.

- To leave the menu without modifying the settings press the button until the display blanks (press about 4 seconds) Modify the antenna squelch level

- Select the actual antenna squelch level on the display (see above check squelch level)

- Press the button shortly, the value will change

- Press until the desired value, hold now the button until blinking

- The next menu item df is now indicated.

- To leave the service menu and return to normal operation, press the button until the display blanks

(press about 4 seconds) 6 Installation steps Install all wiring 1. 2. Switch on the power to the system 3. Check the adjustment of the antenna (green led on) 4.
