Safety instructions WARNING: INTENDED USE The VTAP100 equipment is intended for use by suitably qualified integrators, who will integrate the VTAP100 OEM module (PCB) into their own hardware, without any changes or modifications to the VTAP100 OEM module device. (An optional wallbox case can be supplied.) Components mounted on the VTAP100 PCB are not user-serviceable. Product safety has been tested to comply with IEC 62368-1.
WARNING: USER DESIGNED ENCLOSURES It is the responsibility of the integrator to ensure that their enclosure design for the VTAP100 retains compliance with EMC emissions and immunity standards. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
1 Using this guide This guide is for first-time users of the VTAP100 OEM module. It contains the information you need about your VTAP100 hardware. Consult the VTAP100 Basic Configuration Guide for more about configuration and maintenance features, including how to update the firmware on your VTAP100 unit, when a new release is available. If you need help beyond what is contained in this guide please contact support@dotorigin.com.
2 How the VTAP100 works With the VTAP100 OEM module connected to a PC, simply tap your smartphone against the VTAP100. Your mobile NFC pass will be read and data sent to the connected PC. Of course, the data can only be read if your phone contains a mobile NFC pass, which has been issued in connection with the Merchant ID(s)/Collector ID(s) and key(s) that are known to the VTAP100.
2.1 Default operation on factory settings Before anyone changes the configuration from its default, you can confirm that the unit is working. These steps demonstrate that the hardware can detect and interact with an OriginPass mobile NFC pass, which is ready to work with the default configuration of your VTAP100. 1. Obtain an OriginPass from Dot Origin by visiting https://originpass.com/VTAP/ and add it to your Google Pay or Apple Wallet. 2. Connect the VTAP100 to your PC, using a USB cable. 3.
3 Mechanical installation The VTAP100 unit for OEM integration comprises a PCB with an integral antenna. Figure 3-1 VTAP100 components - v4a Hardware WARNING: Observe all Safety instructions when installing the VTAP100 PCB. There is more detailed information in section 3.5 about how to fit the VTAP100 unit inside the Optional wallbox case, if used. 3.1 Power Connect the PCB to a PC using only a MicroUSB to USB cable. The VTAP100 is rated at 5V DC (typ. 110mA, max 150mA) for power over USB. 3.
3.3 Mounting points The PCB has 2.7mm diameter mounting holes for fixing the unit. Either use the 50mm spaced holes on the snap-off tabs, or remove those tabs and make use of the holes on the body of the board. If you need to remove the tabs, we recommend carefully following the perforations provided to avoid damage to the board, using a vice and pliers, or a PCB cutter. Use 2-4 small nuts and bolts to mount the board securely.
3.4 Optional RS232 connection The PCB has a special connector J1 (an 8 pin, 2mm pitch header connector) which can be used to attach a captive cable with a matching crimp housing. The standard connector fitted to the PCB is a Hirose DF11-8DP-2DSA male header plug with shroud. The matching crimp housing is the Hirose DF11-8DS-2C.
Figure 3-4 Typical RS232 cable A typical RS232 cable has the following DB9 female connector pinout: Pin Function 2 TXD 3 RXD 5 GND 9 +5V supply A PC or terminal RS232 connector is usually DTE (data terminating equipment), typically a male DB9 with TXD on pin 3 and RXD on pin 2. The appropriate connecting cable is then a DCE (data communications equipment) female DB9.
3.5 Optional wallbox The optional square wallbox for a VTAP100 is 86mm x 86mm and 25.5mm deep. Figure 3-5 VTAP100 -SQ square wallbox You can design and affix your own branded label to the unit. The size of the label recess on a square (-SQ) wallbox is 72.33mm x 72.33mm with 4mm radius rounded corners as shown below.
4 Module integration instructions The VTAP100 OEM module has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
4.4 Antennas The VTAP100 OEM module has been tested with its integrated loop antenna, printed on the PCB. There are no alternative antennas approved for use. If an external antenna is attached, the new arrangement would require a new FCC approval. 4.5 Label and compliance information The integrator must attach a label to the new equipment, hosting the VTAP100 OEM module, which states 'Contains FCC ID 2A282-VTAP100'. 4.
5 Hardware lock to disable USB mass storage device You can lock the VTAP100 so that its firmware and configuration cannot be changed. You can either do this in software, or simply disable the mass storage device in hardware. A software lock leaves some files visible. A hardware lock means that the VTAP100 will no longer be detected as a USB mass storage device.
6 Disposal For safety and sustainability, it is the responsibility of the integrator to ensure that when equipment containing a VTAP100 reaches the end of its life, it is recycled in accordance with WEEE Regulations within the EU. VTAP100 (PCB and cables) should not be disposed of in general waste. If you wish to discard electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), please contact your supplier for further information.
