LDM 210 - LDM 220 Description - Functionality 2.3.1.1 Retries By default, the reader resends messages 10 times if the dosimeter fails to respond. It is possible to disable the retries by relocating jumper SS4. 2.3.1.2 Reduced range By default, the reader has a normal range of approximately 20 cm. It is possible to reduce the range by relocating jumpers SS5 and SS8.
Installation and start-up LDM 210 - LDM 220 Installation and start-up Keep the reader away from sources of electromagnetic fields (video terminals, power supplies, PC, rotary machines, etc.) Keep readers away from each other to prevent them from interfering with one another (in case this is not possible, adjust the range of the readers accordingly) Keep readers at least 5 cm (2”) from metallic surfaces.
LDM 210 - LDM 220 Installation and start-up LDM 210 and LDM 220 Configuration By default, the reader is delivered from MGP Instruments in "Operating Mode" with retries and with normal range. No jumper is positioned. 3.1.1 Location of jumpers:...

LDM 210 - LDM 220 Installation and start-up 3.1.3 OPERATIONNAL Mode LDM 210 LDM 220 The operational mode is obtained when jumpers SS2 and SS3 are not installed and the remote programming mode is not selected. In this mode the green power LED is lit after power is applied. Then it is possible to: Authorize reader retries if SS4 is not installed, Forbid them if SS4 is installed.
Installation and start-up LDM 210 - LDM 220 Installation of the USB driver for the LDM 220 Certain software applications like Dosimass, Dosimed and Dosifast automatically install the specific USB driver required by the LDM 220 reader. 3.2.1 For WINDOWS 2000 To verify proper installation of the driver on WINDOWS 2000: Connect the LDM 220 reader to the USB port after installing the driver.

LDM 210 - LDM 220 Installation and start-up Open the list of Ports (COM and LPT) and verify the presence of the "COM device" port: "Cypress USB-HID -> COM Device (COM) Note : Disconnect the LDM 220, the Port COM Device disappears. Reconnect the LDM 220, the Port COM Device reappears.
Installation and start-up LDM 210 - LDM 220 3.2.2 For WINDOWS XP 3.2.2.1 Verify the installation of the USB driver To verify proper installation of the driver on WINDOWS XP: Connect the LDM 220 reader to the USB port after installing the driver. From WINDOWS, select the My Computer icon and right click.
