PRODUCT PROGRAMMING
Midian’s VS-1xxx is programmed via Midian’s KL-3 programming cable and software. Please reference the KL-3
manual for setup instructions of the KL-3 software and hardware. From the product selection screen in the KL-3
software, select the VS-1xxx from the list and click OK.
Set the parameters of the VS-1xxx software to fit the application. If any clarifications on a feature are required,
move the mouse cursor over the feature name until the question mark appears and right click, a definition of the
feature will be shown.
After entering the parameters, save the file by going to File - Save As. Enter the file name in the File Name block
and click Save. Saving the file will allow for quick and easy reprogramming of units.
Connect the Black clip lead from the KL-3 to a common ground. Connect the Green clip lead from the KL-3 to P2-
1 or Pad 3 of the VS-1xxx. Connect the Yellow clip lead from the KL-3 to P2-2 or Pad 4 of the VS-1xxx. All three
clip leads must be connected for reading and writing.
Turn power on to the VS-1xxx and within 15 seconds select Program Unit or Read Unit in the KL-3 software.
Upon power up the scrambler will be awake for 15 seconds before going into Power Save mode.
After programming or reading the VS-1xxx turn off the scrambler for 3 seconds and then turn back on.
Note: For the VS-1200 the security pass phrases can use any 8-bit ASCII keyboard characters. These include the
characters on a typical English keyboard such as 0-9, A-Z (upper and lower case), *, #, @, $, etc. Spaces are
also allowed. Midian does not recommend using international language character such as ñ, ä, ß, ü, é, etc. as
these have not been tested. Please also note that the pass phrases are case sensitive.
Important Note: Do not attempt to ‘clone’ the scrambler by reading one and then programming another. When
the scrambler is read, the pass phrases will be read out as “<undefined>”. If another scrambler is then cloned
with this information, the scramblers will be incompatible because they have different pass phrases. To ensure
scramblers communicate with each other, program them from a saved
file.
