1. Introduction
The VP1103 Panel reader identifies RFID ear tags attached to individual animals. The
identification can be used for registration of the animals that have passed the Panel reader unit
(VP1103). A weight scale can optionally be connected to the Panel reader.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and to RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
1.1. Description
The VP1103 Panel reader system consists of a Panel reader unit that is connected to a VPU
using CAN communication or a connection to a PC or a weight scale through RS232.

1.2. Functioning
The VP1103 Panel reader creates a magnetic field around the antenna that is used to identify
the tags on ISO frequency 134.2 kHz. The Panel reader is connected to a VPU using CAN
communication or to a PC or a weight scale through RS232.
The Panel reader identifies animals that pass the Panel reader unit. When an animal is
identified by the Panel reader, the tag number will be dumped.

The tag numbers are stored via CAN communication in the VPU or dumped according to the
ISO protocol 11784/11785 via an RS232 connection in e.g. the Windows Hyper Terminal
communication program.

2. Installing the VP1103 Panel reader
2.1. Mounting the VP1103 Panel reader
Installation and service should be done only by trained personnel. Always turn off the main
power when working on the de electrical installation. Keep animals away from the antenna
during installation and service. Close all covers when ready with installation or service.
See Appendix A for technical specifications before mounting. See Appendix B for corridor
requirements.
Mount the Panel reader unit firmly on a wall or at a (non metal) frame.
Mounting requirements:
1. The Panel reader must not be mounted close to any iron. This will influence the
performance of the antenna.
2. The Panel reader must not be mounted close to electrical equipment with
background noise. This can disturb the antenna.
3. The Panel reader must be mounted on a wall close to a stable power supply.
4. The Panel reader must be mounted > 1.5 m. from electrical cables or power supply.
5. The Panel reader may not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Example mounting
positions
Drill zone at least 4 cm
from the sides
Figure 3. Mounting positions on rear view VP1103 Panel reader
Mount the Panel reader in 4 positions with screws, bolts, and plugs etc. suitable to support the
Panel reader. Use a large washer behind the bolt/screw to give extra support. Use a screw or
washer with a minimum head diameter of 18 mm. The size of the holes in the antenna must be
corresponding with the size of the bolts or screws that are used.
Don’t damage the antenna when drilling holes for mounting the Panel reader. This
could damage the electronics and affect the functioning of the Panel reader. Keep a
minimum drill distance of 4 cm from the sides.
Install cables and power supplies / transformers > 1.5 m. from the Panel reader if
possible.

3. Starting up operation
The Panel reader is pre-tuned and ready for use.
3.1. Turn on the power
For an RS232 connection: Put the adaptor into an electric socket.
For CAN communication to a VPU: Turn on the Power supply VP2001.
3.2. Checking the VP1103 Panel reader
3.2.1. Checking the CAN connection to the VPU
Check the status of the Panel reader that is connected to a VPU in the Velos VPU program web
page Maintenance > V-packs – Overview.
3.2.2. Checking the RS232 connection to a PC
Check the operation of the VP1103 Panel reader that is connected to a PC with the Hyper
Terminal program. Set the baud rate of the Hyper Terminal communication program to 9600.
The other settings are default.
The tags numbers that are identified by the Panel reader will be displayed in the screen
according to the ISO protocol 11784/11785.

4. Maintenance, malfunction and disposal
4.1. Maintenance
Check the operation of the Panel reader regularly.
No regular maintenance is required.
The Panel reader can be cleaned with water and sponge. Avoid (aggressive) cleaning liquids.
4.2. Malfunction
If the Panel reader VP1103 is connected to a VPU, view the actual state of the Panel reader in
the webpage Maintenance > V-packs – Overview.
A reduced antenna performance may be caused by a strong electrical background noise. Install
cables and power supply / transformers > 1.5 m. from the Panel reader.
4.3. Disposal
At discard dispose of materials from the Panel reader in accordance with the current
environmental rules of the state or local governing authorities.

Appendix B Corridor requirements
The maximum corridor width at the Panel reader location will be different for each animal sort
and breed. Make sure the corridor is not too wide at the Panel reader location.
The maximum width of the corridor is essential to achieve a proper working system.
Animals should never be able to pass each other, turn around or walk in the wrong
direction.
Maximum width
1 animal wide
Maximum corridor entrance width:
Allow passage of 1 animal at the
time. Keep the corridor as narrow
as possible.
RFID Eartags : Attach all ear tags
on same side of animals (left in
this example).
The antenna must be mounted at
the side where the tag is
attached.
The identification distance of the
antenna field
Minimum length 1 animal long
The identification distance of the
antenna varies per installation. It
depends on the iron and the
background noise in the ISOreader area.
