Adding and Removing Tags
The MK179 features an easy method for programming and de-programming proximity tags. Refer to the detailed instructions provided with your kit for the specific button presses and LED indicators for adding or removing tags. Generally, this involves:
- Chcete-li přidat a Tag: Activate the programming mode (e.g., by pressing a button for a specific duration), then present the new tag to the reader coil. The device will confirm successful addition (e.g., via an LED flash).
- To Remove a Tag: Activate the removal mode, then present the tag to be removed. The device will confirm removal.
Normální provoz
Jednou tags are programmed, simply present a valid tag to the reader coil. The device will recognize the tag and activate its output (e.g., a relay closure) for a pre-set duration, allowing it to control connected devices like door locks or alarms.
Údržba
The Velleman MK179 Proximity Card Reader Kit is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance.
- Čištění: Keep the circuit board and reader coil free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Podmínky prostředí: Ensure the device is operated within its specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) to prevent damage.
- Napájení: Use only a stable and correctly rated 12V DC power supply. Fluctuations or incorrect voltagmůže poškodit jednotku.
Odstraňování problémů
If you encounter issues with your Velleman MK179, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Zařízení se nezapíná:
- Check power supply connections and ensure correct voltage (12V DC) and polarity.
- Inspect for any short circuits or incorrect component placement on the assembled board.
- Tags Not Being Read:
- Zajistěte tag is presented within the effective reading range of the coil.
- Ověřte, že tags have been correctly programmed into the device.
- Check the coil connection to the main board.
- Nesprávné chování výstupu:
- Confirm the relay connections to the external device are correct.
- Review the programming steps for adding/removing tags to ensure no errors occurred.
- Problémy s montáží:
- If the device does not function after assembly, carefully inspect all solder joints for quality. A common issue is a solder bridge between traces or a "cold" solder joint that doesn't make proper electrical contact.
- Verify that all components are in their correct positions and orientations.
