To avoid channel conflict, do not use BB-3000W bump bars with duplicate channel number in the same setup. The BB-3000W bump bar works at the radio frequency of 915MHz, which will not be interrupted by microwave devices in your kitchen. Enabling the BB-3000W Bump Bar Before enabling the BB-3000W bump bar, install two AA Alkaline batteries in the bump bar and attach the USB dongle to your host terminal by referring to the following instructive steps. 1. Loosen and remove the screw from the battery cover of the BB-3000W bump bar. 2. Load two AA Alkaline batteries into the battery compartment of the bump bar. When the batteries are loaded, the LED status indicator stays bright in solid green for about 5 seconds; when the battery is low, the LED status indicator flashes in red. When replacing the batteries, always use “Alkaline” AA type batteries. 3. Close the battery compartment of the bump bar with the battery cover, and securely fix the cover with the screw. 4. Attach the USB dongle to your host terminal. Then, the BB-3000W bump bar is automatically paired with the USB dongle attached to the working terminal as long as the channel number on the USB dongle is the same as that on the BB-3000W bump bar; if the channel number on the USB dongle is different from that on the BB-3000W bump bar, the pairing will fails. USB dongle attached The serial number and channel number on the USB dongle must be the same as those on the BB-3000W bump bar; for example, if the channel number on the USB dongle is 11, the channel number on the BB-3000W bump bar must likewise be 11, as illustrated below. To determine that the signal is transmitted from the bump bar successfully to your host terminal, even if the LED status indicator flashes in green, you had better check input data on your monitor. For the better quality of RF signal transmission, make the front side of the BB-3000W bump bar to be located toward the USB dongle connected to your host terminal as possible as you can. Installation Considerations To make the BB-3000W bump bar operate properly and ensure the best possible functionality of the bump bar in an active RF environment, consider well the 3 essential aspects – Range, Classification of RF Obstructions, and Channel Conflict. Range Distances of up to 10 meters (33ft) are possible when the USB dongle and bump bar are within ‘line-of-sight’ of each other, with no obstructions in the path of the RF signals. As the number and type of obstructions between the USB dongle and bump bar increase, the range decreases. For best results, the bump bar should be positioned and the key pad side of the BB-3000W bump bar had better be located toward the USB dongle connected to your host terminal as possible as you can. Classification of RF Obstructions RF signals will encounter two types of obstructions that either weaken or reflect the signal, depending on its material composition. The first type of obstruction is one that allows the signal to pass through, but attenuates, or weakens it. Some examples include walls constructed of wood, drywall, human body, and concrete block. The amount of attenuation is proportional to the total thickness of materials that must be penetrated by the RF signal traveling the line-of-sight path. The second type of obstruction is one that reflects the RF signals, allowing little or none to pass through. Any type of metallic substance falls into this category. This includes objects such as stainless steel food preparation areas, walk-in freezers, steel doors, and steel support beams. The greater the distance between the USB dongle and the bump bar, plus the greater the number of obstructions between the two devices may allow extraneous RF devices to impact the operation of the bump bar. LED Status Indicator The BB-3000W bump bar is provided with a LED status indicator for you to read the system operation status. The LED status is described below. LED Status Description Solid green about for 5 seconds Batteries are loaded into the bump bar. Flash red The batteries are running low. Flash green once The bump bar receives an acknowledge signal from the USB dongle. (When a key of the bump bar is pressed, a data signal is transmitted from the bump bar to the USB dongle; then the USB dongle transmits an acknowledge signal to the bump bar.) Installing the VCOM Driver and Utility If your BB-3000W works in the HID mode, you do not need to install any driver but install the utility for BB-3000W; if your BB-3000W works in the VCOM mode, please install the VCOM driver first.
