The Magic/Helio Mono antennas incorporating the UMB 200 Standard-Line Mono electronics is a
DOUBLE TRX-loop single panel system that provides enhanced detection as compared to conven-
tional Mono antennas. Multiple Magic/Helio antennas (UMB 200) can operate at the same time with-
out the need of synchronization.
The system‘s center frequency is 8.2MHz with frequency “hopping” within a certain frequency band
width. This allows good detection of tags even if the center frequency of the tag is not exact 8.2MHz.
Advanced APC (Automatic Parameter Control) and ERC (Enhanced Resonance control ) technology
is applied to process the transmit and receive signal relative to the environmental noise. This not
only benefits the system‘s performance and anti-interference ability but also prevents deactivation of
labels near to the antenna.
The UMB 200S has a USB interface to download new Firmware if becomes available.
The UMB 200S Mono electronics was designed for “PLUG and PLAY” operation
Typical performance
Magic 350 with UMB 200S performance :
4 x 4 label up to 110 cm on each side
Mini square up to 120 cm on each side
R 50 hard tag up to 140cm on each side
The performance depends on the quality of the label/tag and the orientaon of the
The sound level of the alarm buzzer can be adjusted by the potentiometer VR2. Turn VR2 clockwise to
increase the volume, counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.
2.2 Down-loading of updated firmware (J1)
The firmware can be updated via the computer. When down-loading the firmware J1 has to be the left
position. After down-loading set J1 to the right position and press S1 to reset the processor. As the
firmware is encrypted please contact our service department for the relevant down-load file.

Note, that non-Inomatic LED modules might influence the board performance and/or resulting
in higher noise.
The maximum current per LED output is 150mA.
Note, that if you like to replace the UMB
100 with the UMB 200 the Alarm LED
module need to be changed as the UMB
2.5 Relay output (X4)
X4 provides a NO- relay contact output (< 50V DC, 1A). The relay output is activated when the electronics
triggers an alarm.
2.6 Power connection (X1 & X2)
The power supply (18VAC or 24VDC) is connected to X1.
X2 provides an power out put of 18VAC or 24VDC depending on the input po w er supply

2.7 Buzzer connection (X3)
The buzzer (12VDC) is to be connected to X3. Please observe polarity (+/-) of the buzzer.
2.8 USB connector (X7)
The UMB can be connected to the computer via the USB port for firmware update only
2.9 Antenna loop connections (X8 & X9)
The 8 loop of the antenna is connected to X8 (ANT1) and the 88 loop or 0-Loop is connected to X9 (ANT2).
If the 0-loop is not used, both ends of the 0-loop are connected to the ground of the board.
2.10 LEDs
The LEDs L show the environmental noise level of the system. More LEDs —> more noise
When installing RF Mono system (UMB 200S) please ensure that there is no RF Swept-system (TX/RX)
within 10 meters as Swept-systems influence the performance and can cause false alarms.
The swept-system TX generates a continuous 8.2 MHz frequency which negatively affect the noise/
signal ratio and therefore the performance of any Mono antenna. The only alternative is to reduce the
Level of the Mono antenna but this will also reduce the performance of the Mono antenna.
When multiple Mono antennas are installed, power-up and tune the antennas on by one. After all
antennas have been tuned switch on the power to all systems at the same time.
The Mono antennas will synchronize automatically once powered-on. The power supply should be in-
stalled as close as possible to the Mono antenna. If the 18VAC power line is longer as 5 meter an
additional line-filter should be installed.
