WARNING: USER DESIGNED ENCLOSURES It is the responsibility of the integrator to ensure that their enclosure design for the VTAP50 retains compliance with EMC emissions and immunity standards. This equipment has been designed to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
VTAP50 unit, when a new release is available. The firmware on a VTAP50 functions in exactly the same way as that used on a VTAP100, so you can refer to VTAP100 configuration guides.
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 VTAP50. The unit comes with default values, so that you can test Default operation on factory settings before you begin customising any settings.
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 VTAP50. 1. Obtain an OriginPass from Dot Origin by visiting https://originpass.com/VTAP/ and add it to your Google Pay or Apple Wallet.
3 Mechanical installation The VTAP50 unit for OEM integration comprises a PCB with an integral antenna around the perimeter of the board. Figure 3-1 VTAP50 components - v1 Hardware WARNING: Observe all Safety instructions when installing the VTAP50 PCB.
The PCB has 2.7mm diameter mounting holes for fixing the unit. Use 2-4 small nuts and bolts to mount the board securely. Figure 3-2 VTAP50 PCB mounting holes - v1 Hardware The user’s smartphone should be able to tap within 10mm of the antenna on the PCB. The antenna position should be clearly marked and easily accessed, so that users can position their smartphone appropriately.
Figure 3-3 VTAP50 captive power cable or RS232 connection - VTAP50 v1 Rev 2 Hardware onwards CAUTION: There are a small number of VTAP50 v1 Rev 1 units in circulation. Please be aware that the pins on v1 Rev 1 hardware are pairwise switched.

DCE and DTE devices, so that the transmit pin on one connects to the receive pin on the other. The VTAP50 requires a 5V power supply, but not all RS232 devices have 5V on pin 9. Either: Disconnect the USB cable before making the serial connection, if power will be provided by J1 (pins 1 and 3) and the serial cable/host.
4 Module integration instructions The VTAP50 OEM module has been designed 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.
4.7 Additional testing requirements The VTAP50 OEM module will only be FCC authorised for use in compliance with the specific FCC transmitter rules listed on the grant. The integrator is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host, which are not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification.
A software lock prevents changes but leaves some files visible. A hardware lock means that the VTAP50 will no longer be detected as a USB mass storage device. (It will still behave as an HID keyboard device and, if enabled, the virtual COM port will behave as a composite USB device consisting of HID keyboard and USB virtual COM port.)
6 Disposal For safety and sustainability, it is the responsibility of the integrator to ensure that when equipment containing a VTAP50 reaches the end of its life, it is recycled in accordance with WEEE Regulations within the EU. VTAP50 (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.
