Box 104 NL-7140 AC GROENLO The Netherlands VP1002-200PM-00 ISO Booster 4-2007/1.0 VP1002 ISO-Booster General The ISO Booster or VP1002 is used for improving reading distance of antennas specially in case of using small (ear) tags. The ISO Booster must be connected to a V-pack with identification. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Step 1 : Tuning the antenna The antenna must be ON for tuning. Check the ANT ON led, blue is OK. If not, set the connected V-

pack in id mode, see manual of the concerning V-pack. Tuning is done with LT on the antenna, see manual of the concerning antenna. Tuning sequence :

1. Tuning the antenna 2. Set the antenna power level

- Set the power of the connected V-pack to 50, see manual of the concerning V-pack.

- Adjust now with Lt of the antenna until the TUNING led on the VP1002 is green. Step 2 : Set the antenna power level The maximum power is set at the connected V-pack. See the manual of the V-pack for details about adjusting the power. If power level is set to high at the connected V-pack the power limiter will be activated. The led PWR LIMIT will be on. After a delay of approximately five seconds ithe VP1002 restarts. If nothing has changed the safety circuit is triggered again until the transmitted powerlevel is lowered. How to set the correct power level :

- Set power level AP at maximum 99.

If the PWR LIMIT led is OF and the green TUNING led ON the adjustment is OK. If the PWR LIMIT led is ON (means safety circuit activated) the power must be lowered. Set the power level to 90 instead of 99 and check again. If this has no result, lower the power level to 80 etc. Final check Switch the power to the connected V-pack of and after 10 seconds on again. All red leds should be switched off. VP1002-200PM-00 ISO Booster 4-2007/1.0 Page 3 of 4 Using a HDPE antenna instead of a V-sense antenna To use a HDPE antenna a HDPE antenna tuner is required.
