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 enclosure can be supplied.) Components mounted on the VTAP100 PCB are not user-serviceable.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Integrators are responsible for evaluating their own end product (including the VTAP100 OEM module PCB) and obtaining separate approvals for the markets in which it will be sold or used.
It contains the information you need about your VTAP100 OEM module hardware. Consult the VTAP Configuration Guide for more about configuration and maintenance features for any VTAP100, including how to update the firmware on your VTAP100 OEM module, when a new release is available.
When the VTAP100 OEM module is connected to a computer it appears as a generic mass storage device (like a memory stick). To configure your VTAP, you simply edit or create text files.
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 Google or Apple Wallet.
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 case case, if used. 3.1 Power Connect the PCB to a PC using only a MicroUSB to USB cable.
CAUTION: Mounting a VTAP board on metal can reduce performance of the VTAP100, because metal can distort the NFC field. Never allow a metal surface between the VTAP100 and the user's phone or card. If you have to mount the VTAP100 on metal, you should ensure the separation is:...
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 3-3 VTAP100 captive power cable or RS232 connection - v4a Hardware The connector J1 includes both USB and RS232 signals, as follows:...

RXD pins are swapped between the DCE and DTE devices, so that the transmit pin on one connects to the receive pin on the other. The VTAP100 requires a 5V power supply, but not all RS232 devices have 5V on pin 9. Your options are:...
VTAP MOBILE WALLET READERS 3.5 Optional case The optional compact case for a VTAP100 is 97mm x 49mm and 40mm deep. Figure 3-5 VTAP100 -CC compact case You can design and affix your own branded label to the unit. If you need help branding units do contact vtap-support@dotorigin.com.
VTAP MOBILE WALLET READERS 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.
VTAP MOBILE WALLET READERS 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.
A software lock prevents changes but leaves some files visible. A hardware lock means that the VTAP100 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 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.
