9.1 Replacing PCB
1.
Go to Controllers, select the SpiderPCB to be updated, open the tab Controller parameters and make a note of the
configurable values (e.g. in the empty fields behind the default values, see chapter 4.5).
2.
De-energise the Spider PCB.
3.
Make sure that the cables are numbered so that they are put back in the correct place later (tip: use the order in the
cable entry plate). Disconnect all of the cables.
4.
Unscrew the Spider PCB and replace it with the new one.
5.
Reconnect all cables as they were connected on the old board.
6.
Configure the address with the dip switches.
7.
Connect the power supply (24VDC).
8.
Set the jumper to the correct position (see old board for correct position).
9.
Make sure that the right firmware is installed on the PCB (see chapter 4.5.1).
10.
Set the SpiderPCB parameters using the values noted in step 1. If the values are unknown, configure them now: Con-
troller parameters>Set default values>Tag tuning (see chapter 4.5.2).
11.
Restart the SpiderPCB: Controller parameters>Restart SpiderPCB.
12.
Test all inputs and outputs.
9.2 Replacing antenna
1.
Disconnect the antenna from the Spider PCB (connector).
2.
Remove the antenna and cable.
3.
Install the new antenna; make sure it is the same type: 134.2 kHz or 120 kHz (black). Run the cable into the Spider
unit. Ensure that it is out of reach of the animals.
4.
Connect the cable to the position the old cable was removed from.
5.
Test the antenna with a transponder.
9.3 Replacing carrier board
1.
Create a backup before replacing the carrier board, if possible.
2.
De-energise the carrier board.
3.
Disconnect the ethernet cables (WAN and LAN).
4.
Replace the old carrier board with the new one.
5.
Connect the power cable and the ethernet cables.
6.
Remove the paper between the battery and the tab of the battery compartment to allow contact.
7.
Update the carrier board to the latest version. See chapter 7.5.2.2.
8.
Upload the backup from the old carrier board (if no backup is available, configure the system). See chapter 7.5.2.4.
9.
Restart the system: Maintenance>System>Restart system.
10.
Test the system with a transponder.
