VP1006-200PM-00 OEM ISO Reader Manual version 2.6 / Page 9
6.2 Advanced antenna adjustment
Antenna power
The antenna power default 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)
1. Select menu option AP (Adjust Power) on the display by using the push button
2. Push the button until the display starts to blink, a value will appear on the display
3. The value on the display is the actual power setting. 99 is the default factory setting.
4. To leave the menu without modifying the settings press the button until the display goes blank
(press about 4 seconds)
Modify the antenna power
1. Select the actual antenna power on the display (see above antenna power check)
2. Short press on the button and the first digit of the value will change
3. Continue to press until the desired value, then hold the button until blinking
4. The second digit can be changed in the same way
5. When the desired value is on the display, press until the display blinks
6. The next menu item AS is now indicated.
7. To leave the service menu and return to normal operation, press the button until the display
goes blank (press about 4 seconds)
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.
The antenna squelch default 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)
1. Select menu option AS (Adjust Squelch) on the display by using the push button
2. Push the button until the display starts to blink, a value will appear on the display
3. The value on the display is the actual setting. -0 is the default factory setting.
4. To leave the menu without modifying the settings press the button until the display goes blank
(press about 4 seconds)
Modify the antenna squelch level
1. Select the actual antenna squelch level on the display (see above squelch level check)
2. Short press on the button and the value will change
3. Continue to press until the desired value, then hold the button until blinking
4. The next menu item “df” is now indicated.
5. Hold a tag in the antenna and determine the maximum reading distance
6. If reading distance is ok leave the menu. If not ok try another level.
7. To leave the service menu and return to normal operation, press the button until the display
goes blank (press about 4 seconds)
VP1006-200PM-00 OEM ISO Reader Manual version 2.6 / Page 10
Antenna tuning with option “AA”
With HF menu option “Adjust Antenna (AA)”, it is possible to see the antenna tuning on the display.
The highest display value is the optimum adjustment.
How to tune
1. Select option “AA” on the display and press the button until the display starts to blink. A value
will now appear on the display.
2. Now turn the antenna trimmer slowly (on the antenna). The display value will change. If the
value is going down, turn the other way. Turn till the maximum display value is found.
Neutrodynisation between two antennas
Two large antennas can have coupling with antenna fields. Result : tag is identified in both antennas. A
solution is to install a neutrodynisation unit to reduce cross talk caused by antenna coupling.
How to tune
1. Set reader A in neutro transmit mode (HF menu option nc - nt).
2. Set reader B in neutro receive mode
(HF menu option nc - nr)
3. Turn the wheels apart to the highest display value at reader B
The display value and wheel distance apart can vary. Low display value means usually low coupling.
Always use a sync cable between the readers. It is used during normal operation and also used for the
tuning to switch of transmitter of the receive unit. If one unit is set to neutro transmit, it will switch off all
other readers connected to the same sync cable.
Antenna tuning visible by a light
With HF menu option “Adjust Antenna (AA)” output 6 is also switched on. By connecting a light to
output 6 the status during tuning can be monitored. When the light is blinking it is indicating the
optimum adjustment point and is corresponding with the highest display value.
6.3 Identification test options
Identification test with option “id”
When a tag is in the antenna field, the green LED used for the antenna tuning will be blinking. There is
also a test in the internal test menu called “id”. This test will also show the green LED blinking but also
shows the last two digits of the tag number on the display.
Signal level indication option “SF” and “SH”
There is a test available to give an indication about the signal received on the reader of the VP1006.
This test is separated in a FDX (SF) and HDX (SH) noise indication test. This test is mainly used for
HDX because at HDX there is a greater risk of external influence on the antenna field.
How to use the signal level test
1. Select option “SH” on the display and press the button until the display starts to blink. A value
will appear on the display.
2. Now move a HDX tag slowly into the antenna field. The display value will normally increase
when getting closer to the antenna. If there is negligible or little increase in display value this is
an indication something external is causing noise.
The possible cause of noise can be frequency controlled electric motors or a transmitter operating on
or close to 134.2 kHz
VP1006-200PM-00 OEM ISO Reader Manual version 2.6 / Page 11
7 Trouble shooting
Errors / malfunctioning is indicated by the indicator LED’s or the display.
Error by indicator LED
Indicator LED’s are normally green or switched off. A red or orange indicator LED means normally
there is something not ok. See Appendix D for the explanation of the different colors.
Errors indicated at menu option “dE”
In menu option “dE” it is possible to see actual error codes. When entering the display menu option
“dE” the errors code will be shown and the error will be cleared. If the error is not cleared it means
there is still an error. There can be more than one error. Further errors are displayed one after another
with a short delay between each code.

Identification performance and disturbance
Identification performance can be reduced by disturbance caused by variable-frequency drives used
for ventilation, milk pumps, vacuum pumps, etc. Also ballasts used for fluorescent tube lighting may
interfere. If there is interference one can locate the source by switching off all the equipment on a farm
and then switch them on again one by one. Most of the time when a variable-frequency drive is
causing a problem it is due to bad installation or without the mandatory main filters.
8 Maintenance, cleaning and disposal
Maintenance
No regular maintenance required.
Software update
A VP1006 is equipped with software to activate inputs 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 VPU (VP8001) is used to handle this. For more details
about downloading new firmware see also the manual of the VPU (VP8001).
Cleaning
A VP1006 must be installed in a suitable housing (V-box) so cleaning of the VP1006 is not required.

Appendix I: Neutrodynisation unit between two antennas
Two large antennas can have coupling with antenna fields. Result : tag is identified in both antennas. A
solution is to install a neutrodynisation unit.
Required equipment:
- Readers with the option Neutro in the HF menu
- A neutrodynisation unit
- Coax cable, specification RG58
- Cable between the readers to connect SYNC OUT and SYNC IN

Neutrodynisation adjustment
1. Set reader A in neutro transmit mode
(HF menu option nc - nt)
2. Set reader B in neutro receive mode
(HF menu option nc - nr)
3. Turn the wheels apart to the highest
display value at reader B
The display value and wheel distance
apart can vary. Low display value means
usually low coupling.
