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.

Adjustment of the VP1002
The adjustment consists of 2 steps.
1. Tuning the antenna
2. Set the antenna power level
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 :
- 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.

Using a HDPE antenna instead of a V-sense antenna
To use a HDPE antenna a HDPE antenna tuner is required. The antenna is adjusted with trimmer Lt.
Tuning is the same as described for a V-sense antenna.

VP1006
OEM ISO-Reader
General
The VP1006 is a local unit and usually installed for identification of animals for feeding, weighing,
milking, heat detection etc.
The VP1006 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

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)

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)
