3. QUICK TUNING

3.1. QUICK INSTALLATION

3.1.1. PREVIOUS
Always connect the system to clean power lines (No other electrical devices connected)
 Always turn on systems ONE by ONE. Once you have tuned the first one, THEN connect the second one,
THEN the third, etc.…
 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.
 Please Read this manual BEFORE installing systems!

3.1.2. SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Check cabling / connection needs according to the kind of installation. (See Section 4. CONFIGURATION ).
Check all the material is ready.
 Place the system in the installation area. (DO NOT fix the system to the floor).
 Turn the system ON, and connect to the system (Follow Section 5. SOFTWARE)
 Check Electrical Noise, Synchro, TX Status, etc.… check everything is normal.
 Stabilize external electrical noise to the minimum.
 Check Section 1.3. TABLE: SYSTEM / DETECTION / NOISE to define the maximum detection distance.
 If any modifications, save parameters.
 Disconnect your laptop and observe the system during some time making several detection tests (buzzer
can be disabled to not cause disturbance).
 If OK, fix the system to the floor if OK, if not OK, see Section 3.2. TROUBLESHOOTING

You are done!

3.2. TROUBLESHOOTING

3.2.2. TOO MUCH DETECTION

Lower Gain
 Rise Threshold

3.2.3. FALSE ALARM

Look for TAGS near the antennas
 See Section 3.7. FALSE ALARM (OR UNKNOWN ALARM)

3.2.4. MAKES OTHER SYSTEMS FALSE ALARM

See Section 3.3. SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEM

9
 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.
 Laptop: The situation in the discovery mode will be similar to this:

You are done!

10
 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.
Other way to locate the source of noise is moving the Receiver antenna while at the same time you are
looking to the LED bar or the software. See how the orientation of the Receiver antenna affects the
amount of noise and you will finally find the source
.
Then you have to neutralize the source of noise. (It might be related with bad synchro, please check
procedure in Section 5.7.5. DISCOVERY TOOL) Other techniques are:
Swap Transceiver antenna by Receiver antenna position.
Ground the noisy device correctly or try to put it as far as possible from the Receiver antenna.
Use advanced noise techniques 'New Noise fighting algorithms'

11
 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.
Position 0 turns off noise fighting algorithms in Receiver antenna.
Back Ground suppression

How can I know the noise problem has been solved?

 Detection will improve. The signs of noise in the LED bar and in the scope will disappear.
You are done!

12
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.
 If the problem persists, it can be caused by a blown fuse in the Power supply. Change the power supply by a
new one.
 Check the power line frequency to be 50Hz+/- 1Hz or 60Hz +/- 1Hz.

How can I know the dead transmitter problem has been solved?
 The system is working normally.

You are done!

13
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/marked 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. It may be broken during the
installation.
 The problem may come from the Receiver Board. It might be damaged. Try another Receiver Board
 The problem may come from the Transceiver Board. It may have one Receiver channel damaged. Try
another Transceiver Board or test with the other Receiver channel.

How can I know the dead receiver problem has been solved?
 The system is working normally.

You are done!

14
 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. AD-SAM006 58 kHz systems are very false alarm
restrictive.
It is almost impossible that a AD-SAM006 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. If you see something similar to this:

Please Stop the TX system. If the alarm disappears, there are at least some LABEL/TAG near.
 If not, there might be another 58 kHz system out of synchro affecting our system. Follow procedure in
Section 5.7.5. DISCOVERY TOOL

How can I know the false alarms (or unknown alarm) problem has been solved?
The system is working normally, no unexpected alarms.
You are done!

The system is automatically turned off during the period selected. If same hour, no action (Always ON)

5.6.6. LEDS

This selector is used to choose what information to be displayed on the LED bar (See Section 2.HARDWARE)

RX: The Receiver noise/signal is shown

V1: The voltage of Transceiver Upper Loop (TX Loop 1) is shown
V2: The voltage of Transceiver Lower Loop (TX Loop 2) is shown
T1: Temperature in Transceiver is shown

5.6.7. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

Detection:
This should be left as from factory settings.

 Others:
Alive Signal: Activates or deactivates “alive light”, which shows
that the system is running correctly and it is not “hung”
Master & NET (ONLY INFO)
Ignore switches: With this function selected, the system will
ignore any change or parameter introduced from the switches.
This is to prevent unauthorized access even from the
hardware / switches.

 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).
 TX1: Transceiver Upper Loop
TX2: Transceiver Lower Loop
 Tx Loops states can be saved.
5.7.3. MULTIMONO

 This parameter must be ON when connecting multiple transceiver in

the same aisle or in a net (Default OFF)

5.7.4. POWER LINE FREQUENCY

Information about which is the current power line frequency.

44
 5.7.5. DISCOVERY TOOL

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, enable “Follow Master” option in order to have the same synchro than Master.
 This option is available for systems with version 3.A0 and 4.A0 or higher.

Once the Discovery Tool is ON, electrical noise and other possible systems out of phase are shown on the
screen. In the scope is represented the amount of noise in 58 kHz through the 0º phase to the 360º phase
in the mains. (From 0 ms to 20 ms in one 50 Hz period).

In the scope, the TX blocks will be represented in the lower side of the yellow line (negative), the TX blocks
of other systems out of phase, will be represented in the upper side of the yellow line (positive).

45
FIELD SITUATIONS
In these cases, only the blocks in the lower part can be seen. The presence of another system which is
correctly synchronized with yours, can be seen in the break of the first block (RED CIRCLE)

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. The area above the yellow line is reserved for these situations. In the next figure, the presence
of another 58 kHz transmitter can be easily seen on that area. Only one external reference means that
only 3 TX blocks from other system can be seen in the upper side of the screen.

Change the delay manually to synchronize with the system out of synchro.

46
 Match the systems transmissions with one each other…

As it can be seen on the figure above, our TX blocks (below yellow line) have moved until the position of
the other system TX blocks. The synchro can be followed and verified visually. The peaks appearing in
the 2 last blocks (RED CIRCLE) are normal when the system is too near.
After a good synchronization process, you must turn Discovery Mode off, to do so press OFF

Systems out of synchro, NEED TO SYNCHRONIZE, More than one external reference

When there is more than one reference to synchro, then a correct synchronization is not possible. This
means that previous to the installation, there were already at least 2 systems out of synchro, probably
these systems are already not working. In order to fix the problem it is necessary to previously
synchronize between them the existing systems.

6 blocks of normal duration, means at least 2 previously not synchronized systems

3 blocks of abnormal duration, means at least 2 previously not synchronized systems

47
 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 CASE 2, to synchronize de system in accordance.

5.7.6. TRANSCEIVER STATUS

 Transceiver Voltage
Shows the Voltage in the TX loops. It should be always in the
range of 1000 to 1400V (GREEN)
If it is lower, it might be because a defective transmitter or
bad resonance. Then it might be necessary to retune the
Transceiver resonance (Hardware).
 Transceiver Temperature
Shows the current Temperature in the Transmitter Board.
Should be always in the green area (10° to 55°).

48
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 'Receiver Rx1' allows selecting parameters for the Receiver Antenna connected on the Transceiver
BOARD with red/marked connector.
 Selecting 'Receiver Rx2' allows selecting parameters for the Receiver Antenna connected on the Transceiver
BOARD with grey connector.

5.8.1. GAIN

Gain feature is used to adjust the receiver sensitivity to get the best reception signal.

In order to adjust Gain, simply select the value until you get the required detection.
5.8.2. THRESHOLD
 Threshold feature is the signal level at which each receiver will trig an alarm.
 If you need higher threshold, then increase the Multiplier. A Higher threshold means less sensitive for the
system, more quantity of signal will be needed from the tag to trigger an alarm, the detection is reduced.
 It is recommended, for maximum sensitivity to keep the Detection Threshold at minimum (40) &
Multiplier=1.
 In order to adjust Detection Threshold, simply select the value until you get the required detection

49
 5.8.3. 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.
 Position 0 turns off noise fighting algorithms in mono-antenna.
 Back Ground suppression is also OFF by default.

5.8.4. 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.

Loop 1 belongs to Upper Loop of the Transceiver Antenna

 Loop 2 belongs to Lower Loop of the Transceiver Antenna

5.8.5. ANTENNA RESONANCE

Only Receiver Boards.
 The Receiver Board controls the resonance of both Receiver loops in the Receiver antenna. The resonance
is controlled by the selection of capacitors in this slide in the software. Receiver Antenna resonance might
be affected only when installing the system very near metallic frames or metallic doors.
 In these cases, Receiver resonance can be modified from the selector.

The factory default value for Receiver Resonance depends on each system (always around 9)

5.8.6. REMOTE RECEIVER

Only for Receiver Boards.
 Remote Receiver feature is used to allow or not allow the propagation of RX signal to a remote receiver or
transceiver antenna, when the systems are split into several aisles.
 If ON, it allows propagation of the RX signal in red/marked connector.
 If OFF, it does not allow propagation of the RX in red/marked connector.


50
5.8.7. 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).

There are 4 different reception areas shown on the Signal Bars / Digital Scope: 'Loop 1 Signal' 'Loop 1
Noise', 'Loop 2 Signal' and 'Loop 2 Noise'.

Loop 1 belongs to Upper Loop of the Transceiver / Receiver Antenna

 Loop 2 belongs to Lower Loop of the Transceiver / Receiver Antenna

SITUATION 1 (When there is no tag near)

The reception areas shown on the Signal Bars / Digital Scope should look as follows:
 In the 4 different reception Bars/Areas, only electrical noise in the environment is shown, as there is no
tag near.
 All 4 reception Bars/Areas MUST HAVE SIMILAR values.

SITUATION 2 (When there is a tag near)

 The reception areas shown on the Signal Bars / Digital Scope should look as follows:
 In the 4 different reception Bars/Areas, the 2 reception Bars/Areas reserved for noise keep the same as
in SITUATION 1 BUT the 2 Bars/Areas reserved for tag signal, show higher values than the ones reserved
for noise.
 This way, an alarm caused by tags can be easily identified.
