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)
VP1007-200PM-00 ISO Reader I/O Manual version 0.4 / Page 8 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) 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 VP1007. 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
VP1007-200PM-00 ISO Reader I/O Manual version 0.4 / Page 9 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. “dE” code on the display Description 00 No errors 01 Max I out error, next module shut off 02 Short circuit detected at reset 03 Max I out high-side 04 Max I out low-side 05 CAN over voltage 06 CAN offset too high 07 - 08 - 09 Short circuit out5 <-> minus 10 Short circuit out4 <-> minus 11 Short circuit out3 <-> minus 12 Short circuit out2 <-> minus 13 OUT1 off : +24V on OUT1 14 Short circuit out1 <-> minus 15 IO5 off: +24V on OUT5 16 IO5 on: short circuit IO5 17 IO4 off: +24V on OUT4 18 IO4 on: short circuit IO4 19 IO3 off: +24V on OUT3 20 IO3 on: short circuit IO3 21 IO2 off: +24V on OUT2 22 IO2 on: short circuit IO2 23 IO1 off: +24V on OUT1 24 IO1 on: short circuit IO1 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.
