Getting Started
After the VR2C has been removed from the packaging and inspected for any damage that may have
occurred during shipping, test to ensure you can communicate with the receiver and that the receiver is
working properly. Each of the steps listed below are explained in detail later in this manual.
1.
Unscrew the Locking Collar from the VR2C external connector (section 2.1).
2.
Connect the VR2C to the PC using the VR2C Communication Kit (section 2.2).
3.
Use the VUE Software to communicate with the VR2C (section 3.1.2) and start a study (3.1.6)
4.
Ensure the VR2C can detect tags by performing an in-air test (section 2.4).
5.
Place the VR2C back in Suspend Mode (section 3.1.8) if you are storing it for an extended time
period.
6.
Disconnect the VR2C from the VR2C Communication Kit cable and reinstall the Dummy Plug and
Locking Collar for transportation or storage.
2.1
Dummy Plug and Locking Collar
The dummy plug is used to protect the external connector from
moisture and damage while it is not connected to the cable. The
dummy plug is held in place on the VR2C with a threaded Locking
Collar.
The VR2C is shipped with the locking collar attached to the external connector to
give the pins additional protection during shipping. When the VR2C is stored, the
dummy plug and locking collar should be in place and will need to be removed before
communicating with VUE. The dummy plug should be returned to the external connector
when a cable is not connected to the receiver.
Follow the instructions below to remove the Dummy Plug, and reverse the steps to re-install it
.
Dummy Plug
Locking
Collar
Twist the Locking Collar
(see arrow) counter-
clockwise until it separates
from the receiver. Slide it
away from the connector.
STEP 1
Grasp the dummy plug at
the connector and pull
straight back to remove it
from the VR2C case.
Grip the connector rather
than the ball end of the
dummy plug to reduce the
chance of damage
occurring to the plug.
