HW 86020 mobile data registration device Target group This documentation refers to all users of HW 90196 and also to users dealing with operating system levels of HW 90196. NOTE: 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.
Remove devices from packaging. Keep packaging material for future shipment purposes! Accu blocks are not inserted in HW 90196 at time of delivery. After unpacking of box accu blocks have to be inserted in HW 90196. A final functional test of the HW 90196 and its peripheral devices should be performed before delivery to customer.
It is due to the responsibility of the customer to remove any plug-ins (e.g. dealer cards) from the HW 90196 mobile POS terminal before shipment to H & W. Company H & W is not liable for loss of plug-ins or resulting damages.

3,8 V while discharged accus provoke higher currents. The operating status of the radio module has a significant influence of the overall power consumption of terminal HW 90196. In par- ticular, if the terminal is switched off or outside radio frequency range (see No. 8, 12, 6, 4, 2), program- ming should meet these conditions, e.g.
4. Power supply of HW 90196 with accu block HW 19196 The power supply of HW 90196 is realised by an accu block which is inserted in the device. The accu block HW 19196 consists of a module of 3 NiCd-cells with a total capacity of 1000 mAh.
4.2 Charging condition of accu block The loading capacity of accu block should always be used to full extend. Keep HW 90196 in operation until the message „attention! Recharge batteries!!!“ is indicated in the display. After this the device can still be used for a while, however only essential inputs should be entered and the accu block be re- charged afterwards.
Those functions which are explained in this chapter are installed as standard features in the operating system of the HW 90196 and are independent of the type of application program. The user will usually not have to deal with the operating system, as during normal operation only the displays of the application program are presented.

Vectron User manual 9. Connection of the HW 90196 and HW 90195 via radio transmission 9.1 General The digital radio data transmission allows the application of mobile devices as online-terminals. The loca- tion independent online-access and/or –transmission of relevant data faciliates timing and coordination of complex schemes in areas as mobile data registration or catering.
Plug in western connector of mains lead in Base Station HW 8660. Plug other end 8660 in mains supply socket. HW 90196 The HW 90196 with integrated radio module must be logged on to host via Telnet. HW 90195 The mobile printer communicates with Base Station via radio transmission and prints relevant documents.
Vectron User manual 9.3 Function diagram 9.3.1 Initial logon of MDE • The radio fixed part (in Base Station) sends program Switcher signal information about established connection to Mobile Part (=radio module in MDE). • Switcher determines serial number of MDE.
There is no provision for connecting external antennas or amplifiers. 10.3.2 Product HW 90195/US The product HW 90196/US is a mobile printer using low power radio communication in the 2400 – 2483.5 MHz band. Radio frequency is used for transmission of digital information between the product and other devices supporting the same radio standard.
Vectron User manual 10.3.3 Product HW 8660/US The product HW 8660/US is a radio base station operating in the 2400 – 2483.5 MHz band. It includes a general purpose microcomputer which serves external interfaces such as Ethernet, RS-232 and Cen- tronics.
User manual Vectron The frequency stability of the radio frequency carriers at the transceiver shall be better than +/- 50 kHz under extreme temperature conditions. 10.4.2 Carrier modulation For transmission of binary data on a frequency channel, GFSK modulation is used. The nominal modula- tion equals 400 kHz.
Vectron User manual 10.5.3 Generic frequency hopping patterns I=46 generic hopping patterns are defined. Each generic hopping pattern uses all 48 frequency channels. Over a period of the hopping pattern, each frequency channel is used during a single frame. Therefore the signal power is distributed uniformly over all frequency channels.
Vectron User manual Each basestation has assigned a fixed generic hopping pattern. Co-located basestations may use the same generic hopping pattern or different generic hopping patterns without restriction. Endpoints support the whole set of generic hopping patterns. When an endpoint establishes a connection to a basestation it detects, during the synchronization procedure, the generic hopping pattern to be used.
User manual Vectron 10.6.2 Monitoring of the environment Both sides, basestation and endpoint regularly and independently perform RSSI scans of all accessible hopping channels and time slots. The basestation broadcasts on its dummy bearer a list of allowed hop- ping channels and time slots. Any endpoint maintain a list of quietest channels, i.e. preferred values (l,k) for setting up a connection.
Vectron User manual 10.7 Interference avoidance strategies 10.7.1 Interference within the system The medium access procedures provide sufficient mechanisms so that there is no relevant interference within a system. Only endpoints send out a signal that are synchronized to the basestation.
User manual Vectron 10.7.3 Interference from other sources Other frequency hopping systems may cause occasional packet loss which is solved through packet re- transmission. The same applies to CW interferers. In case the interference pattern of a specific interferer tends to disturb specific time slots or hopping channels, the system will avoid these channels.
Vectron User manual 10.8 Specific requirements from FCC chapter 15 10.8.1 15.203 Antenna requirement An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than furnished by the responsi- ble party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provi- sions of this Section.
User manual Vectron 10.8.6 15.247 Operation within the bands ... 2400 – 2483.5 MHz ... (a) Operation under provisions of this section is limited to frequency hopping and direct sequence spread spectrum intentional radiators that comply with the following provisions: (1) Frequency hopping systems shall have hopping channel carrier frequencies separated by a minimum of 25 kHz or the 20 dB bandwidth of the hopping channel whichever is greater.
Vectron User manual (h) The incorporation of intelligence within a frequency hopping spread spectrum system that permits the system to recognize other users within the spectrum band so that it individually and independently choses and adapts its hopsets to avoid hopping on occupied channels is permitted. The coordination of fre- quency hopping systems in any other manner for the express purpose of avoiding the simultaneous oc- cupancy of individual hopping frequencies by multiple transmitters is not permitted.
