NOTE!
Check the operating voltage before connecting! The cables
should not lie directly next to power supply cables.
Connect the antenna with the vehicle control unit. Connect a laptop to the antenna us-
ing the serial interfaces of both devices. Then start the monitor program as described
in section 5.2 on page 30.
Default Values
As standard setting, the system uses the
Monitor only
setting
at 38400 baud. However, please pay attention to the fact that
these may have been altered by a different user!
1.
Move a transponder into reception range.
The voltage
S
shown in the monitor program‘s status bar should increase con-
siderably. The code must be detected immediately and the number of readings
must be continuously counted up to 255.
2.
Remove the transponder from the reception range.
While no transponder is located within the antenna field, the voltage
S
must
decrease to a very small value. The display of the code and the number of read-
ings, if applicable, remains identical. If this is not the case, interferences in the
frequency range of 64 kHz are being induced.
NOTE!
The causes for the interferences should be eliminated as far as
possible. If this is not possible it might be possible to avoid the
critical frequency area by changing the side band (see section
5.2.2.4 on page 39).
3.
In order to adjust the antenna to environmental influences it must be re-cali-
brated (also refer to section 2.2 on page 8), alternatively activate the function
Auto-Tune
(refer to section 5.2.2.4 on page 39).
As long as no errors have occurred, save any altered parameters and exit the monitor
program. If certain parameters are altered, a system reset is necessary (turn off and
reactivate the antenna). Where this is applicable is described in the corresponding
sections of the monitor program (section 5.2). Now the system has been correctly put
into operation. For the correct adjustment of the positioning thresholds the vehicle has
to be used in its final operation environment or in a test site that very closely resembles
it.
4.
In order to set the positioning thresholds position the vehicle over a transponder
that is mounted in the track. Initially set the positioning thresholds that a signal
that is 50 % weaker than the one received from the transponder still would trig-
ger the generation of a positioning pulse (see section 5.2.2.3 on page 37).
5.
In order to set the positioning threshold correctly (refer to section 5.2.2.3 on
page 37), it is useful to record a complete test run over the set track. The serial
interface of the antenna HG G-98820ZA may be used accordingly (refer to sec-
