1. INTRODUCTION

The VSI-Pro Max is the latest in the evolution of the popular VSI line of POS / Cash Register Interfaces from AVE. The VSI-Pro Max, now with larger memory space can hold ALL the AVE Interfaces in one unit with full remote PC or DVR programming for selection and setups and onsite firmware updating. New video processing circuitry allows use with new WDR cameras and low video of commonly used UTP adapters. Built in RS-232, RS-485, Passive and the new Opto-Isolated selection, gives complete isolation from the POS/Cash Register from the video system. Internal 40 Mhz operation allows for combining the Networking functions of the Hydra, Regcom, Networker or Vnetworker within one convenient unit with looping RJ45s for a seem-less solution for multiple till configurations.

The VSI-Pro Max allows characters to be inserted into any video source via an RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 link. This allows cash registers, computers, scales, pole displays, printers or any RS-232 / RS-485 / RS-422 communicating device to display alpha-numerics in the video picture of any CCTV system. Simple front panel push-buttons allow the user to simply program all functions and features of the VSI-Pro Max. This includes characters position, gray scale and a wide variety text processing function including exceptions and alarming features.

Whether used with a cash register providing real time data on an RS-232 port or tapping off a serial printer or pole display , the VSI-Pro Max is a valuable tool in loss prevention. When used in conjunction with A VE’s extensive line of adapters this device can connect to any POS (Point of Sale) / ECR (Electronic Cash Register) or peripheral on the market today. Now available the TCPIP232 Adapter for interfacing to Ethernet LAN networks to capture common printer data or monitor any single register transactions.

The VSI-Pro Max can be used to trigger switchers, time lapse VCRs, DVRs, remote transmission devices or other alarming devices via the 2 hardwired open collector alarm outputs.

The VSI-Pro Max also has an additional RS-232/RS-485 output that can send the formated ASCII text to a DVR which can store the data as an electronic file in addition to inserted in the actual video image. This additional RS-485 port supports full networking of up to 16 VSI-Pro Max without any external devices.

The Exception Processor of the VSI-Pro Max provides the intelligence to bring questionable or exceptional transactions to view for the user. This allows the user to quickly and easily review employee transactions to identify fraud and theft transactions at the cash register. When used with a comp atible DVR, the VSI-Pro Max can command or be commanded by the DVR to automatically search to the transaction in question for instant review of the recorded video.

With the new “Scroll Matching” feature, users can easily set and erase scrolling advertising messages from the customer display but always record the valid transactions.

The VSI-Pro Max is fully networkable with our “Networker”, “Vnetworker”, “Hydra” and “Regcom” line of products. These device connect to the VSI-Pro or ECR Interfaces or Adapters directly and communicate back via an RS-485 network to the central location. PC Windows-based software can also be used as the controller of this network and store transaction files for up to 16 cash registers for remote viewing or downloading to produce reports for management.

The VSI-Pro Max is fully remotely downloadable, uploadable or programmable by our PC VSI Programmable software. This utilizes a direct connection via RS-232 from a laptop to the VSI-Pro. Complete VSI-Pro Max settings can be saved on the laptop and uploaded to the VSI-Pro Max at will. This is mainly used for dealer maintanence or for single station user programming or when cameras or monitors are not easily available.

Firmware is also downloadable in the field with our Firmware Utility so new updates and features can be easily passed to customers without changing EPROMs or opening the unit.

1.1 VSI / VSI+ / VSI-Pro / VSI-Pro Max Backward Compatibility

Since 1990 various versions of the VSI have been on the market solving cash register retail problems. Several special version are available to interface to other RS-232 devices like scales, coin counters, PLCC, gambling machines and ATMs along with countless other generic RS-232 devices. The first VSI, Version 9 had no exception processing until the release of Version 10. However these versions had the ability to output the data so are compatible with the Regcom line of networking adapters. As features increased we moved to the VSI+ Version 11, which had the first powerful set of exception processing and printing functions. This version also had hardware handshaking capability which allows it to be fully operational with the Networker and Regcom line. The introduction of the VSI-Pro Version 12 added on-screen selection of various model registers for ease of installation and supported many characters sizes for multiple units to display data on one camera view. This version also supports the Networker and Regcom products. The VSI-Pro Version 13.XX has improved features and additional registers and the Version

13.00 supports North America cash registers and Version 13.24 supports UK and European models. All Version 13.XX VSI-Pro support the Networker and Regcom products. All Version 13.XX can be upgraded to the latest Ver. 13 release. This release adds PC Programming capability , Firmware update externally and Vnetworker support along with Networker and Regcom comp atibility. The VSI-Pro Max is the latest in the development line and includes all register of Ver. 13.XX in one convenient unit along with built in Hydra, Regcom, Networker and Vnetworker hardware and software.

3. CONNECTIONS

The VSI-Pro Max will overlay the characters on any input video source. The video input can be virtually any baseband or composite video source. The VSI-Pro will accept NTSC, RS-170, RS-330, CCIR, P AL or SECAM video format s.The Video input to the VSI-Pro Max is a standard BNC connector, terminated at 75 [ohms].

NOTE ?

The input video level must be between 0.5V - 2.0V Peak to Peak. If the video is lower or not

present the VL LED will illuminate signifying low or no video and the VSI-Pro Max will have a poor or no output video signal.

After completing the interface installation as described in the separate Installation Guide for your specific cash register, computer, radar gun or other serial device, connect the video input source to the video input BNC on the rear of the VSI-Pro Max. The BNC video output goes out to the video system (VCR, DVR, quad, switcher , multiplexer , or monitor). This connection is shown in Figure 4. The video output from the VSI-Pro Max is 1[V] Peak to Peak into a 75 [ohm] load. Most monitors or televisions with direct video inputs are terminated with a 75 ohm load. If the monitor is not terminated, the VSI-Pro Max will still output 1[V] Peak to Peak. The VSI-Pro Max will be able to drive two terminated loads without loss of video level.

The VSI-Pro Max uses a 9-12VDC @300 [mA] UL/CSA power supply which must be plugged into the Power input on the VSI-Pro Max’s Real Panel.

CONNECTIONS

Grounding and Isolation

The VSI-Pro Max has an isolated internal signal/power ground from the case or chassis ground. Therefore maintaining this isolation will insure proper surge and lightning suppression when the chassis grounded properly.

Video Surge / Lightning Protection

The VSI-Pro Max has an internal Gas Discharge Surge Suppressor on the video input. This enables high input surges to be suppressed so not to damage the internal circuitry of the VSI-Pro Max. Voltage spikes between video signal and video ground will be clamped and also between both of these signals and chassis ground. For this suppression to be fully effective the “Earth” grounding lug between the two BNC connectors must be connected to a solid and true earth ground. A good earth ground is a long metal rod into the ground 6’ or connection to copper water pipes.

NOTE: If ground loops are in excess of 90 VAC to Earth or Signal ground the internal surge suppress make not be effective and cause undo noise in the video. If this is the case do not use the chassis grounding lug for undo voltage will be shorted through the suppression circuitry of the VSI-Pro Max.

Earth Ground

Figure 5 : VSI-Pro Max Earth Grounding Connection

Power Surge / Lightning Suppression

The VSI-Pro Max has MOV (Metal Oxide Varistors) across the power input to signal ground and from both of these signal to chassis ground clamping at 18VDC. For this suppression to be fully effective the “Earth” grounding lug between the two BNC connectors must be connected to a solid and true earth ground. A good earth ground is a long metal rod into the ground 6’ or connection to copper water pipes.

RS-232 DB9F Shielding

The shield of the DB9 RS-232 connector also connects to chassis ground. Therefore this shield should not be connected to any signal ground of any RS-232 signal or power signal. If for some reason the source or destination devices have internal connections from signal ground to the shield then the shield should not be connected on VSIPro Max end to maintain signal ground and earth ground isolation. Proper shielding of RS-232 signals will extend the length of wiring especially at high data rates and eliminate noise being coupled into the either a source or destination device by surrounding EMI or RFI generated by other equipment within the installation.

Refer to Appendix I for additional information on the TCPIP232 Adapter or the manual included with the adapter.

NOTE: The TCPIP232 Adapter can be programmed by this method or by using a standard PC with a serial cable along with the AVE IP setting software. Refer to the TCIP232 Adpater Manual for doing this.

Once you have set the IP address of the TCPIP232 Adapter you will be in the “Generic” display mode. You may select another register driver to format this display. When you do this the VSI-Pro loads the default register baudrate as if a direct connection to the register so make sure you set the proper baudrate as described below.

The TCPIP232 Adpater communicates with the VSIPro via RS-232 at a baudrate of 19.2K. Therefore when you select this menu option the baudrate of the VSI-Pro is changed to this rate so communication for downloading the configuration can occur. When using the TCPIP232 adpater with other register drivers or data dump mode make sure you change the RXD baudrate to 19.2K so the VSI-Pro Max will communicate.

1. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “TCPIP” and press “Set” to enter and change the IP address to the same as the IP address you wish to monitor.

EXAMPLE: If the IP address is 192.168.0.141, set the address on the TCPIP 232 Adapter using this menu.

IP ADDRESS 192 IP ADDRESS 2 168 IP ADDRESS 3 0 IP ADDRESS 4 141 DOWNLOAD CONFIGURATION EXIT

Figure 12: TCPIP Sub-Menu

2. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “Download Configuration” and press “Set” to execute. Make sure a TCPIP232 Adapter is connected and the VSI-Pro will download the IP settings to this device.

TCP/IP Limitations

The TCPIP232 Adapter can monitor any Ethernet LAN either 10MBs or 100MB/s. However the actual long term throughput of the adpater is limited to 5MB/s. This is more than enough for network printers for cash receipts, bar code scanners or single cash registers that operate in a “Live Mode”. Live Mode means the register transmitts the data on the network line by line or at the end of each transaction. Some cash registers have large local built in memories for thousands of items and then only batch multiple transactions on the network at any given time or controlled by the server. Cash Registers utilizing this kind of batch processing are not suitable for security monitoring. Other devices that output large amounts of data will overrun the buffers of either the TCPIP232 Adapter or VSI-Pro Max and data will be lost and would not be suitable for security monitoring anyway.

The VSI-Pro Max has a set of powerful data dump modes that compatible with the TCPIP232 Adpater. If large data packets need filtering or special formats are required contact the factory.
