1 General
This document contains the description of the software CPT4SBS in combination with
the T/R-Twin hardware for a separationbox.
The Transmitter/Receiver Separation Box Standard is used for identifying, separating
or separating/weighing of cows. The separation system uses one antenna.
CPT4SBS
Poiesz Twin VC4 Separation Box Standard.
Description of the code : Cattlecode
2 Operation
• Every cow is stopped at the hold-gate
• After identification of the responder the T/R sends a request for separation-data
• If weigh computer is connected, wait for weigh data
• When weigh data is received and separation data is received the separation gates
are set, the hold gate will open
• After hold gate is open the twin is waiting for IR2 (only if responder is out of the
antenna)
• As long as IR2 is activated the hold gate will not close
• When IR2 is free the hold gate will close
• When IR2 is free, IR3 is already activated
• Station is ready for the next cow as soon as IR3 is free
• Cow is stopped at the hold-gate
• IR1 is activated, twin remains waiting for responder number
• After maximum ID time the cow will be sent to the default exit

4 Set Address
The address setting concerns the following menus and procedures (see figure 3):
For communication the Transmitter / Receiver needs an address. Then the computer
knows where to send the information to. At the transmitter / receiver with help of the
display and the push button the stations address is configured.
The two segment display and the yellow push-button must also be used for several
adjustments of the Transmitter / receiver. A number of different codes will appear on
the display when the push-button is pushed, these codes represent the so-called
menus. Each menu on its turn is divided into a number of functions. By varying the
pushing time of the push-button, you will get access to the different menus and/or
functions.
The first time you switch on the power of the T/R, the display will show "0-". The
Transmitter / Receiver asks now for the first address. When an address is entered the
display will blank out and the transmitter / receiver returns to the normal status.
Address menu
- Set Address
- display Address
The address-range of all connected peripherals on the same controller channel
is from 1-50.
Remember that the used peripheral-address has to be unique on this controller
channel.
When the display shows SA, the "Set Address procedure" is entered by pressing the
button until the display blinks. The procedure is as follows :
display scrolls from
display scrolls from x0 through x9
to indicate that the "Set Address procedure" has been entered, the display will
show "0-"
• by pressing the button short, the next decimal will be displayed ("1-","2-"...."5-")
• the displayed decimal is entered by pressing the button until the display blinks
• when the decimal has been entered, the display will show "x0" (where x = entered
decimal), the unit-digit now can be entered
• by pressing the button short, the next unit will be displayed ("x1", "x2", .. , "x9")
• the displayed unit is entered by pressing the button until the display blinks
the "Set Address procedure" can be quit by pressing the button until the
display blanks. The entered digits then are not stored
• the T/R will restart when the address is changed
When the display shows dA, the "display Address procedure" is entered by pressing
the button until the display blinks. The display then shows the T/R address.

The antenna adjustment-procedure consists of several steps. It is essential that
these steps are executed in the sequence as in the manual described.
During T/R start up there is auto detect of T/R type, 120kHz (for rA and rP) or 134.2
kHz (for ri and r2)
rA = AM labels, X-ponder and Respactor (default)
rP = PM labels, ear button and Phase code responders
ri = ISO responder types (default)
r2 = Nedap 2 hour activity meter (Lactivator)
Select rS on the display and select the required type, press until display blinks to
store the setting.
HF menu, select H1 for antenna 1 or H2 for antenna 2
The antenna adjustment-procedure consists of several steps. It is essential that these
steps are executed in the sequence as described. First "AA", then "AP" and last "AS",
described in step 1, 2, 3 and 4.
While tuning Lt the following must be noted
• The tuning of Lt must be done with a non-metal screw-driver (e.g. plastic)
• This tuning of Lt requires a short circuit of the "Antenna adjust input" on the T/R,
see jumper settings.
• It is possible that the trimmer-coil must be turned so far out of the coil housing that
the transformer box does not close anymore. In that case, turn the trimmer-coil
completely in the coil housing. In this way the same adjustment can be achieved.

• with P1 (figure 1) the displayed value must be set to 30
• after adjusting P1, the value must be adjusted with Lt (figure 1) on the EWA
transformer to a maximum value. Tune (with plastic screw driver) the trimmer Lt
on the antenna transformer until the highest point has been found (is highest
display value, this means when you are turning further in the same direction the
display value must go down after the highest level has been found, if not select a
different transformer ratio.)
• connect HF-output to the next transformer-ratio 9 : 1, or 11 : 1 (do not change HF+
and HF-), try if a higher value on the display can be found by tuning Lt.
connect HF-output to the highest transformation-ratio (with the highest value on
the display) where it is still possible to find the highest point, this is the right
adjustment.
• When the right transformation ratio has been found Lt must be tuned to the
maximum

After correct processing the antenna adjustment procedure, step 1 and 2 are done
and Lt is adjusted (highest value is on the display now ), P1 must be adjusted with
help of AP.
When the display shows AP, the "Adjust Power procedure" is entered by pressing the
button until the display blinks. The display now shows the percentage of the
maximum transmitting-power of the T/R. The T/R is equipped with a power-limitter.
When the transmitted HF-power exceeds a certain level, the HF-current will be limited
automatically. To indicate this, the display will blink, after this point power-increase
(P1) is not desirable.
The tuning-procedure is as follows :
You can continue by pressing the button short
The adjusted squelch determines the sensitivity of the receiver in the T/R. In case

Twin Feeder Model 2 AM CODE Squelch = -2
Twin Feeder Model 2 PM CODE Squelch = -1
Note : AS can be used to reduce the HF-field if animals are identified outside the
e.g. calves outside the station are identified, the transmitted power can be reduced
("Adjust Power procedure") or the receiver-sensitivity can be reduced by means of the
squelch-adjustment.
When the display shows AS, the "Adjust Squelch procedure" is entered by pressing
the button until the display blinks. The display now shows the actual sensitivity of the
receiver, a value from "-0" (most sensitive, i.e. default setting) until "-3" (least
sensitive).
By shortly pressing the button, the desired squelch can be adjusted. The setting can
be entered by pressing the button until the display blinks.

Weighing mode
When the weigh computer is switched on, the computer will automatically go over to
the weighing mode. The computer is now ready for normal use.
The calibration mode is selected to adapt the computer to the weighing platform or to
calibrate the computer. This is done as follows: Switch the computer on and hold
down the "TOTAL" key. After a standard text message, the computer gives a bleep
signal. You will now see the word "POS --" on the screen. Now release the "TOTAL"
key and press any key you like.
Set the computer to gross by pressing the "GROSS/NETT" key. The scale zero can
now be set. To do this, open up the weigh computer. Two potentio meters which have
to be calibrated are located on the PCB in the housing cover. The left hand potentio
meter is used to set the zero weight and the right hand potentio meter is used to set
the correct weight. Use the left hand potentio meter, set the computer to zero. If you
want to reduce the value, turn clockwise and if you want to increase it, turn in the
opposite direction. Now place a known weight on the scale, preferably about the
same weight as the animals to be weighed. Using the right hand potentio meter, set
the computer to the right weight. Remember, clockwise for higher values, and anticlock wise for lower values. When you want value's in pounds (lb) you have to turn
the weight to the lb value. Remove the calibration weight from the scale and check
the zero position on the computer. Correct if necessary. The computer is now
calibrated. It is possible to weigh normally again by simply switching the computer off
and on again.

Setting mode
Summary
The behaviour of the weighing computer may be influenced by three parameters. To
change these parameters, the computer has to be in the setting mode. This is done
by switching the computer on and holding down the "TOTAL" and the "PRINT" key at
the same time. When the screen message has disappeared, the computer gives a
bleep signal and you will now see "P-" appear on the screen. Now release the two
keys and press the "GROSS/NETT" key once. The computer now displays "PI XX",
when XX represents the value of parameter 1. Therefore, you do not actually see "PI
XX", on the screen, but "PI 25", for example. The damping of the scales is set with
parameter1. This value can be set from 0 - 63, inclusive, when 0 indicates the
minimum damping. This adjustment is made with the "TOTAL" key increases the
value of the parameters, the "PRINT" key reduces it. (Best value of P1 = 10)
After setting the damping, you can switch over to the second parameter, P2
done by pressing the "GROSS/NETT" key. Parameter 2 indicates the stable factor.
The computer only transmits data to the VC computer if the weight is "stable". "P2"
sets exactly how stable the weight must be. Possible values for "P2" are 1 - 99. At 1
the weight must be very stable and when at a value of 99 practically everything is
regarded as stable. (Best value of P2 = 15)
The third parameter P3
The peak value of "P3" can be set between 1 - 5 inclusive. "P3" is a multiplying
factor. Normally "P3" is set at 1. If the "P3" is set to 5, the weight is multiplied by 5.
This weight is then displayed and may also be transmitted to the VC computer. After
setting "P1", "P2" and "P3", inclusive, the "GROSS/NETT" key has to e set once
more. The computer is now ready for use and does not have to be switched off and
on. The values "P1", "P2" and "P3", inclusive are stored even when the computer is
switched off. If the computer is switched to calibration mode, parameter "P3" is set to
1 automatically. This is still the case after leaving the calibration mode. Therefore, if
another multiplying factor is needed, this has to be set again after leaving the
calibration mode. (Best value of P3 = 1).
