7 Installation Site Power Supply Check  IT’S RECOMMENDED TO HAVE ALL FASTPADS ON THE SAME POWER PHASE,otherwise you need to adjust B sync value step by step to find a best position to sync different FastPads connected to power source with difference phase.   IT’S RECOMMENDED TO HAVE ENOUGH CURRENT SUPPLY FOR FASTPADS IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE FASTPADS SHARE ONE POWER SUPPLY.  The rated current for FastPad is 5A but the suggested current draw for one FastPad is 7-8A for better performance, so a 15 amp power box will better serve 2 FastPads instead of 3 or more.    IT’S RECOMMENDED TO HAVE GOOD GROUNDING FOR POWER SUPPLY OF FASTPAD. (Some time the poor grounding and high noise from power supply will decrease the sensitivity or detection range, check Noise entry D1 and D2, a value over 6-7 will be considered as big noise)

17  TUNING PROCEDURES & TIPS  There are two main potential problems that will affect FastPad’s functioning and performance.   Problem #1 The deactivator’s detection range does not match the deactivation range.   If the detection range is too short (low sensitivity for the receiver), it will decrease the system’s deactivation distance. But if the detection range is bigger than the deactivation range, it will cause false deactivation.  Normally the FastPad deactivates labels 10cm above the antenna surface in all label orientations, so please tune Minimum Signal Adjustment to set the deactivator to the appropriate detection range. This adjustment is described under the heading “Key ID H” on page 19.  Problem #2 The deactivator exhibits false alarms (or causes other systems to do so) without tags or labels in the detection zone.  Usually interference is caused by a phase difference between different AM products at different locations. In this case, try to hunt on an appropriate B value (sync value), eliminating cross talk with nearby AM systems.   Exercise patience in trying every 5 increments of the B value, checking the noise value after confirmation. If other AM systems burst transmissions come into the FastPad tag signal window, you will get a very high noise value (e.g. 6-8). Continue increasing the B value until you get a relatively small noise value (e.g. 1-3) and continue to monitor it until you have confirmed that other AM systems can successfully function without false alarms.   FastPad has a totally adjustable sync value from 0 - 99, each step equaling 34µs, with a total adjustable Tx delay from 0 – 3.366ms. (Refer to page 16, under the heading “Key ID B Sync Adjustment”).
18  REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING              Point the IR Remote Control to the Interface Window at one side of the Control Box to operate the infrared communicator.  The panel normally displays the alarm count when not receiving any control signals from remote control. The alarm count is displayed as in the above picture – total count is 116 in this example. The number indicates the number of times the deactivator has detected labels.     FAST PADCONTROL BOXTMLANREMOTE CONTROLCONTROL BOX - SIDE VIEWLAN  REMOTE CONTROL6 1  1
19  Press [PSW] button to activate the remote control, and then enter the password (factory default is 68).             Input the number 68 (or the new password if you have changed it).  Press [CON] to instruct the Control Box to accept the password.            Note: Entering the wrong password input will disable the panel from further instructions. Exit and re-press PSW to enter the correct password (see the picture below). After THREE successive attempts with the wrong password the remote control will be completely disabled. At this point you must turn the unit on/off and begin again.             LAN  REMOTE CONTROL 0  LAN  REMOTE CONTROL8 0 6 LAN  REMOTE CONTROLr E r
20  When the correct password is verified, the LEDs will display as per the following picture and wait for configuration type input.                Key ID “B” - Sync Adjustment (range: 0-99; increment: 1) This adjustment sets the time from zero crossing point to the start point of burst transmission.  It is used for eliminating cross talk between different systems. In most cases the default b-1 value will achieve system stability with respect to other AM products.  Press [SYN] and the LEDs will display as shown below. Input the number for the parameter.   Press [CON] to see the noise conditions.              Note: The adjustable range is 0-99 (0 – 3.366ms), with each increment equaling 34µs.  (34µs x 99 total increments = 3366µs = 3.366ms)   LAN  REMOTE CONTROL -   LAN  REMOTE CONTROL1 b
21  Under this mode, you can also see the different noise condition at a different phase. If there is a phase problem, other AM systems’ burst transmission will interfere with FastPad’s receiver, and you will see a large noise indication in D1, D2.             Key ID “D” - Noise Condition Display (Valid parameters: 1,2,3,4 - see configuration table below) The LEDs display the signal level number, with a level range from 0-8.  Note: When in the noise condition display mode, the alarm will be deactivated until you exit this mode.  Press [NSE] and the LEDs will display as shown below. Input a number for the parameter.  Press [CON] to accept the parameter.             LAN  REMOTE CONTROL7 -   LAN  REMOTE CONTROL0 d
22  After confirmation, the panel will display a different signal or noise level from the specific antenna channel.              Noise Condition Display Configuration Table Value Function Description  Detection Purpose 0  Shut down tag or noise window display.  D1  Tag window display for channel 1.  Detect tag by antenna CH1. D2  Tag window display for channel 2.  Detect tag by antenna CH2. D3  Average noise window display for channel 1. Monitor long time average noise received by antenna CH1.  D4  Average noise window display for channel 2. Monitor long time average noise received by antenna CH2.   Note: D3/D4 indicate the average noise level and also the weighted Minimum Signal Adjustment value. It gets the MAX value between average noise and MIN value.  Therefore, if MIN (H value) is increased to be bigger than the average noise level, D3/D4 will indicate only H value instead of average noise value.     LAN  REMOTE CONTROL2 -
23 Key ID “H” - Minimum Signal Adjustment (valid range: 0-8, increment 1) Lowering this number will increase the label detection sensitivity of the FastPad, but will also increase the risk of false deactivation. Vice versa, raising it will decrease the sensitivity or detection range to adapt to deactivation range.  While there are two antenna channels, FastPad has only one H value adjustment, and it will apply to both of the antenna channels for minimum signal adjustment.  Press [MIN]. The LEDs will display as shown as below Input number for the parameter.  Press [CON] to accept the parameter.
