VP1006-200PM-00 OEM ISO Reader Manual version 2.6
This manual is part of the service documentation for Nedap Velos. Reference is also made to other
manuals that are part of the Nedap Velos documentation. For an overview of available Nedap Velos
manuals see the manual “Nedap Velos General Description”, or visit the Nedap Agri website
www.nedap-agri.com.
The Velos VP1006 is used for identification of animals for feeding, weighing, milking, heat detection
etc. The VP1006 must be connected to a computer (controller) and can communicate by a CAN,
RS485 or RS232 protocol. The connected computer must give controlling commands to the VP1006 to
operate inputs, outputs and identification.
The VP1006 has the following main tasks:
- Identification of tags (ISO 134.2 kHz FDX/HDX)
- Controlling outputs - 6 outputs are available to activate e.g. lights, motors, valves, relays
- Reading inputs - 6 inputs available for e.g. sensors, switches
Following antenna types can be used:
- V-sense antennas
- EWA transformer with stainless steel antenna strip
- HDPE antenna with HDPE antenna tuner
The VP1006 must be installed in a housing suitable for farm conditions, for example in a V-box.

FCC and ISED Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC (OET Bulletin 65) and Canadian radiation exposure limits set forth in RSS-102 for a
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the
radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Cet équipement est conforme a RSS-102 limites énoncées pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être
installé et utilisé avec une distance minimale de 20 cm entre le radiateur et votre corps.
ISED EMC Declaration
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de Classe B est conforme à la norme Canadienne ICES-003.
FCC Information to the user (15.105(b))
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital devices, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequent energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does not cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determine by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver.
• Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
• To ensure compliance with FCC regulations, use only the shielded interface cables provided with the
product, or additional specified components or accessories that can be used with the installation of the
product
NOTE:
Antenna VP6041 has the same dimensions as the VP6042.
VP6041 and VP6042 regarding hardware are the same. The VP6041 is adjusted for environments with lots of steel for short distances (pigs). The
VP6042 is adjusted for longer distances (1 m) recognition (Cows).

2 Description and functioning
A VP1006 has 6 inputs used for reading e.g. sensors or switches.
There are also 6 outputs available to activate e.g. lights, motors, valves or relays.
The VP1006 can read tags FDX/HDX 134.2 kHz.
The VP1006 must be connected to a computer and can communicate by a CAN, RS485 or RS232
protocol. The connected computer must give controlling commands to the VP1006 to operate inputs,
outputs and identification.
Figure : Sticker on the VP1006 with indication of the connections
Input/output 1 to 4 ( I/O 1 till I/O 4 ) can be used to control feed motors or can be used as normal
input/output. Output/input 5 and 6 ( I/O 5 - I/O 6 ) can only be used as output/input, not for feed motors.
Operation of the VP1006
Antenna : for reading tags, normally on
Inputs : read continuously with status change sent to the controller
Outputs : switched on or off by commands from the controller
LEDs : switched on or off by the VP1006 according to the status
Error : errors are sent to the controller
All inputs and outputs can be tested by the use of the push button and display. For operation of the
push button and display see appendix B.
Installation and service only by trained personnel.
Always turn off the main power when working on the electrical installation.
Installation consits of the following steps:
1. Mounting
2. Installation of all wiring (connections)
3. Power up
4. Set address (when more then one VP1006)
5. Set communication protocol
6. Antenna adjustment (green LED on)
7. Checking the connected equipment like lamps, motors, sensors etc.
8. Configuration in the PC
Follow this manual to complete the steps.
See the relevant equipment manual relating to where the VP1006 is to be installed.

Before starting with adjustments first install all components and wiring. Follow the sequence as
indicated in this chapter.
Check if the VP1006 has power after power up. This means 3 green LED’s are on, see figure below.
For more details about the LED indicators see Appendix D.
If LED’s are green, continue with address settings
5.2 Communication bus termination jumper
Termination is only used in case of RS485 communication.
When using RS485: at the last VP1006 in the communication
line (bus) the jumper must be set to the other position. Also at
the beginning of the line (computer) termination is required.
For RS232 and CAN always use default jumper position
Check LED “COM” to evaluate the connection to the computer.
