1. Introduction
The VP1850 Panel reader identifies RFID ear tags attached to individual animals. The
identification can be used for registration of the animals that have passed the VP1850 Panel
reader unit. A weight scale can optionally be connected to the Panel reader.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and to RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
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.
1.1. Description
The VP1850 Panel reader system consists of a Panel reader unit that is connected to an
adaptor, a PC or a network or optionally a weight scale.

1.2. Functioning
The VP1850 Panel reader creates a magnetic field around the antenna that is used to identify
the tags on ISO frequency 134.2 kHz. The Panel reader antenna identifies RFID ear tags
attached to individual animals that pass the Panel Reader unit. The identification is indicated
with five blue burning led lights in the top of the Panel reader.

When an animal is identified in the Panel reader antenna, the responder number will be stored.
The responder number will be shown in the web server program. A PC or a network is used to
access the web server (and the Internet worldwide). It does not have to be connected all the
time.

2. Mounting the VP1850 Panel reader
See Appendix A for technical specifications before mounting. See Appendix C for corridor
requirements.
Mounting requirements:
1. The Panel reader must be mounted at the side where the ear tags of the animals
are attached.
2. The Panel reader must be mounted on a wall close to a stable power supply.
3. The Panel reader must not be mounted close to any iron. Iron will affect the
performance of the antenna.
4. The Panel reader must be mounted > 1.5 m. from electrical cables or power supply /
transformers.
5. The Panel reader must not be mounted close to electrical equipment (e.g. a power
supply) with background noise. This can disturb the antenna.
6. The Panel reader may not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Mount the VP1850 Panel reader unit firmly on a wall or at a (non metal) frame.
1. Drill ø10 and at least 50 mm deep holes to mount the Panel reader in the 4 positions
indicated in the picture below.
2. Use the bolts that are supplied with the unit to mount the Panel reader. Use the 4 big bolts
for a wall or the 4 smaller ones for a metal surface.
For wall: Bolt, washer,
spacer and plug (4x)

3. Starting up operation
The VP1850 Panel reader is pre-tuned and ready for use.
3.1. Connecting the VP1850 Panel reader
Connect the VP1850 Panel reader to a PC or a weight scale through an RS232 connection or to
a PC or router through a LAN (or Bluetooth) connection. The Panel reader is already connected
to the adapter through the connector. The adapter is optionally used when connected to a
weight scale (depends on weight scale type). See appendix B for a wiring scheme of the Panel
reader cable.

Figure 5. Overview VP1850 Panel reader system to be connected
Connect the VP1850 Panel reader to a PC or a network and optionally to a weight scale.
Install cables and power supplies / transformers > 1.5 m. from the Panel reader if
possible.
3. Connect a PC to the Sub-D connection from the connector if there is no weight scale or
connect a PC via the Bluetooth or LAN connection or connect a network via the LAN
connection.
4. Optionally connect a weight scale to the Sub-D connection from the connector.
5. Put the adaptor into an electric socket.
6. Check the operation of the Panel reader.
Use an extension cable (art. nr 7707037) of 4 meters to extend the Velos
Panel reader cable if necessary.

• ISO Extended: output data send according to ISO standards, including timestamp.
• Nedap: output data send according to Nedap Velos protocol.
For advanced user: In UDP the number is sent real-time.
The default and storage settings are: Recognition time 5 and store double tags No.
• Store double tags Yes: store the identification time of double tags in the same file.
• Store double tags No: store only the last identification time.
VP1850-200PM-00GB-Panel reader Manual version 1.2 / Page 7
3. Optionally enter a user name and password. Especially when the Panel reader is
integrated in a network this is advised.
4. Change the RS232 and Bluetooth settings in the Settings screen if necessary and press
Submit. The network settings have been made in § 3.2.
The default RS232 settings are: Baud rate 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None and Stop bits 1. The

Check the cause of the malfunction and solve it.
Problem What/How to check or re-install See §
1 green light on: reduced antenna field
caused by some iron. Identification
possible but reduced performance.
Antenna tuning. Remove the iron from
the Panel reader area.
2 flashing green lights: no correct
antenna field caused by a lot of iron.
Identification possible but a very much
reduced performance.
Antenna tuning. Remove the iron from
the Panel reader area.
1 red light(s) on: identification possible
but reduced performance caused by
electrical equipment with background
noise. Possibly cable or power supply /
transformer < 1.5 m. from the Panel
reader.
Find source of the background noise in
the Panel reader area that disturbs the
antenna e.g. a power supply,
fluorescent lightning, another antenna
or a frequency controller. Delete it or
turn it off.

2 red light(s) on: strongly reduced
performance caused by a no
synchronisation with a nearby HDX
reader or electrical equipment with
strong electrical background noise.
Possibly cable or power supply /
transformer < 1.5 m. from the Panel
reader. No identification possible.
Find source of the background noise in
the Panel reader area that disturbs the
antenna e.g. a power supply,
fluorescent lightning, another antenna
or a frequency controller. Delete it or
turn it off. Install cables and power
supply / transformer > 1.5 m. from the
Panel reader if possible.

5.2. Resetting the VP1850 Panel reader
If necessary set the VP1850 Panel reader back to its factory defaults:
1. Turn on the power
2. Put a magnet on the spot indicated on the back of the Panel reader with a circle on the
sticker and keep it there. A row of blue leds will light up when the magnet is in the correct
position.
3. Turn off the power and turn it back on. The row of blue leds will light up again.
4. Remove the magnet from the Panel reader.
5. Turn off the power and turn it back on again.
The Panel reader is now set back to its factory defaults.
The IP address now is 10.10.10.10 again like in the beginning.
See chapter 3 to start up the operation again by setting the network configuration and the
software settings.

Appendix C Corridor requirements
The maximum corridor width at the Panel reader location will be different for each animal sort
and breed. Make sure the corridor is not too wide at the Panel reader location.
The maximum width of the corridor is essential to achieve a proper working system.
Animals should never be able to pass each other, turn around or walk in the wrong
direction.

Maximum corridor entrance width:
Allow passage of 1 animal at the
time. Keep the corridor as narrow
as possible.
RFID Eartags : Attach all ear tags
on same side of animals (left in
this example).
The antenna must be mounted at
the side where the tag is
attached.
The identification distance of the
