1 General
The VP1001 is a local unit in the VELOS system and usually installed for identification of animals for
feeding, weighing, milking, heat detection etc.
The VP1001 has the following main tasks :
- Identification of tags (134.2 kHz FDX/HDX)
- 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 :
- 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

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 Antenna out of range, turn to the right till green led is on
Red on Antenna out of range, turn to the left till green led is on
Red on No antenna connected or low antenna signal
All off 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 6
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
1. Install all wiring
2. Switch on the power to the system
3. Check the adjustment of the antenna (green led on)
4. Check the connected equipment like lamps, motors, sensors etc. Use the display/push button
menu to check the correct functioning.
5. Set the addresses, an address must be unique on both CAN-bus channels
6. Start up the web browser on the V-pu and configure the system (see manual of the V-pu)

7 Update
Firm ware
A VP1001 is equipped with software to activate in- and outputs, display / push button and a motor
safeguard. This software is called firmware. During manufacturing the firmware is programmed and
ready for use. In case of an update it is possible to download new firmware thru the CAN-bus. In the
Velos system the web browser interface of the V-pu (VP8001) is used to handle this. More details
about download new firmware see also the manual of the V-pu (VP8001).
