3. QUICK TUNING 3.1. QUICK INSTALLATION 3.1.1. PREVIOUS Always connect the system to clean power lines (No other electrical devices connected) In order to avoid damaging the electronics, do not place any TURNED OFF antenna near a TURNED ON Transceiver antenna. Please keep the minimum distance, not less than 50cm Do not fix the system to the floor before testing its performance FIRST! Do not place Receiver and Power line (220Vac/110Vac) cables along the same route.
3.3. SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEM How can I recognize a synchro problem? Externally: When you turn on your system: • It makes other 58 kHz systems near alarm • Your system is showing a high amount of noise in the LED bar (See Section 2. HARDWARE). • There is no detection or it is very poor. Laptop: • Check Section 5.7.5. DISCOVERY TOOL How can I know the synchro problem has been solved? Externally all systems around will be working fine as well as yours.
3.4. NOISE PROBLEM How can I recognize a noise problem? Externally: When you turn on your system: • The system shows a high amount of noise in the LED bar. • The detection might be poor. Laptop: • In the scope you will see high amount of noise, in the 4 buffers. How can I solve a noise problem? Try to locate the source of noise: • Turn off all electrical equipment in the area. If the noise disappears, start turning all the electrical equipment ONE BY ONE till you get noise again.
New Noise fighting algorithms Depending on the level of electrical noise, it is recommended to select different positions in the noise selector. Each antenna is independent. Transceiver antenna • There are 2 active modes in noise fighting for Transceiver antenna. • Position 0 turns off noise fighting algorithms in Transceiver antenna. • Back Ground suppression Receiver antennas There are 2 active modes in noise fighting for Receiver antennas.
3.5. DEAD TRANSMITTER How can I recognize a dead transmitter problem? Externally: When you turn on your system: • The system does not detect. Laptop: • Voltage near to 0Vpp How can I solve a dead transmitter problem? If the Transceiver Board is not working, change it by a new one. Please check the connection cable between the Power Supply and the Transceiver Board. If the synchro pulse from the POWER supply is not OK, the system will stop the transmission.
3.6. DEAD RECEIVER How can I recognize a dead receiver problem? Externally: When you turn on your system: • The system does not detect. (Remember that there are 6 independent receivers one for every loop). • You can try if a dual system to change the receiver cable to red connector or grey connector Laptop: • The signal is near 6 dB or less in all receiver buffers. How can I solve a dead receiver problem? The problem may come from the Transceiver-Receiver connection cable.
3.7. FALSE ALARM (OR UNKNOWN ALARM) How can I recognize a false alarms (or unknown alarm) problem? The system is alarming when not expected to alarm. USS 58 kHz systems are very false alarm restrictive. It is almost impossible that a USS 58kHz system is alarming except when: There is a tag in the detection area There is another 58 kHz system not in synchro. How can I solve a false alarms (or unknown alarm) problem? Look for tags near the system. Look in the scope in the software.
4. CONFIGURATION 4.1. CONNECTION METHOD USS 58 kHz systems have been designed to fit into every installation needs. They can be configured in multiple ways.

5.7. TRANSMITTER TAB 5.7.1. START / STOP TX From here the Transmission can be stopped, this can be used to confirm if an alarm is coming from tags / labels. If the Transmission is stopped and the alarm stops, then the alarm was caused by a tag. 5.7.2. TX LOOPS Turn ON/OFF any of the 2 independent Transceiver loops in the Transceiver antenna. (Default ON). TX Loops states can be saved. 5.7.4.
Main tool to synchronize the system. In 99% of cases this adjustment is not necessary. Anyway, it is always good to take a look at the environmental electric noise throughout the ' Discovery Mode' feature. When Discovery Tool is ON, the transmitter is then turned off, and the system ONLY receives. Standard Synchro delay value is 0.2ms For Slave systems, 'Follow Master' enabled will set the same delay than the Master. This option is available for systems with version 3.A0 and 4.A0 or higher.
THE FOLLOWING POINTS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE USING DISCOVERT TOOL: Discovery can be made with transceiver or receiver antennas (Red and Grey Channels). Recommended order is: • 1. Red Channel (In case you have receiver antenna on this channel): 1.1 Disable Transceiver receiver loops 1.2 Enable Red Channel receiver loops 1.3 Disable Grey Channel receiver loops • 2. Grey Channel (In case you have receiver antenna on this channel) 2.1 Disable Transceiver receiver loops 2.
When you click on 'ON' button , a new scope window will appear: • • • • System transmission blocks (A, B, C) will be represented in the negative area in green colour Other transmission blocks are represented in red colour. Noise is yellow colour Signal detection blocks are represented in purple colour in the negative area (always after system transmission blocks) Zoom for AXIS Y. Select Auto or fixed to set the Y maximum level. Zoom for AXIS X.
FIELD SITUATIONS 1. Systems perfectly in phase (99% of times), NO NEED TO SYNCHRONIZE • Transmission loops are displayed in the negative area. The presence of another system which is correctly synchronized with yours, can be seen right over system transmission blocks (For versions 4.C0 or higher) 2. Systems out of synchro, NEED TO SYNCHRONIZE, Only one external reference • When another 58 kHz transmitter is transmitting out of synchro, it can be easily seen from the scope screen.
• Change the delay manually to synchronize with the system out of synchro and match the system transmission blocks with the other systems around • As it can be seen on the picture above, our TX blocks (green blocks) are being moved until the position matches with the other system TX blocks. The synchro can be followed and verified visually. • After a good synchronization process, press “OFF” button 3.
• After synchronizing ALL external systems, the situation will be as follows: • Then the system can be correctly synchronized using this unique and only external reference. • Please follow step 2, to synchronize de system in accordance. 5.7.5. TRANSCEIVER STATUS Transceiver Voltage • Shows the Voltage in the TX loops. It should be always in the range of 1200 to 1400V (GREEN) • If it is lower, it might be because a defective transmitter or bad resonance.
5.8. RECEIVER TAB Transceiver antenna is also a Receiver antenna, so it has its own receiver side. Each Transceiver antenna is able to support 2 Receiver antennas. Selecting 'Transceiver' allows selecting parameters for receiver side of Transceiver antenna Selecting 'Red Channel' allows selecting parameters for the Receiver Antenna connected to the red connector on the Transceiver board.
5.8.3. START/STOP RECEIVER LOOPS From here, each Receiver loop can be independently turned on and off. If there is a high disturbance in any of them, it can be disabled. Receiver Loops states be saved. 5.8.4. ANTI NOISE ALGORITHMS Anti Noise algorithms are used to minimize the electrical noise. Depending on the level of electrical noise, it is recommended to select different positions in the noise selector. Each antenna is independent. There are 2 active modes in noise fighting.
5.8.5. SIGNAL AND NOISE In the scope area there is a digital oscilloscope display that will help to analyse the noise and signal. Real time electrical noise signals icon will show current electrical signal (Noise and tags if there is any).
5.9. PEOPLE COUNTER TAB The people counter consists of two modules: IR-RX Modules and IR-TX Modules using infra-red technology in order to count the number and direction of people crossing an entrance. 5.9.1. IR-RX MODULES (ACC-PCA-G10V PEOPLE COUNTER A) IR-RX Modules are located in the light alarm board at the top of the Transceiver Antennas.
5.9.2. IR-TX MODULES (ACC-PCB-G10V PEOPLE COUNTER B) IR-TX Modules are located in the light alarm board at the top of the Receiver Antennas. Each side of the board (Side 1 and Side 2) has one infra-red led transmitter to emit the IR pulses Side 1 IR pulses transmissions are from the infra-red led located at the same layer than white connector. 5.9.2.1.
5.9.3. PEOPLE COUNTER INSTALLATION There are two important points to take account at the installation time: • 1.
