TECHNICAL MANUAL
1 INTRODUCTION
This technical manual is dealing with the technical aspect of STRANGKOFARM Control
Windows. This means mounting, start up and adjustment of the system, and a spare parts list for
service on the system. How to use the system is not described here, but in the user’s manual for
STRANGKOFARM Control Windows.
2 MOUNTING
Feeding stations, door antenna and acto - antenna are to be mounted according to the drawings
made by STRANGKO.
Cables for barn electronics, calf drinking automates, Milk-Meter interface, identification in the
milking parlour and acto-antenna are made according to the el-diagrams in this manual.
PLEASE NOTE! All 230 Volt installations must be made by an authorized electrician.
If the system contains Milk-Meter or Actometer the MM II interface and/or the ID-unit (DHK)
and/or the acto-unit are to be programmed, before using the system.
After inserting cow and transponder numbers, feed and milk data, the antennas in the feeding
stations, door antennas and acto-antenna are to be adjusted.
2-3 days after starting up the system, the feeding stations must be calibrated to secure that the
correct quantity of feed is dispensed.

TECHNICAL MANUAL
This section is only to be carried out by specialists, with knowledge of the use and
installation of Windows programmes.
If the PC is delivered by STRANGKO this section has already been carried out.
The FCC II control card is to communicate with the PC through an available COM-port and
available IRQ number.
The control card has the following possibilities for communication:
COM1, 2, 3, 4 and IRQ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15.
As a standard we recommend using COM2, IRQ3
The FCC II CARD can be delivered as either internal or external versions and with different
size of RAM:
128kb
384kb
512kb
The external version can be delivered with serial connection or with usb connection.
In case of internal FCC card the PC must contain ISA bus, and the existing com2 port must be
disabled in the BIOS settings.
The control card is to be mounted in an empty ISA slot in the PC. (Please see the PC manual for
how to do this.)
Connect power (adapter) to the control card. When the power (adapter) is connected, the control
card will beep once to indicate that the power is connected and that the control card is working
OK. If the FCC II card beeps twice, the program might be lost on the card and it must be
reprogrammed. The card can loose its memory if it is kept in stock for a long time without power
connected. In this case the fcc card must be reprogrammed.

TECHNICAL MANUAL
Article number xxxxxxx, interface cable USB. This cable is usable for communication with
FCC-cards.
You can use this cable to communicate between software packages (working under Windows)
and for instance FCC- cards, can be achieved with this USB-cable. USB allows you to connect
multiple FCC-cards directly onto your PC (provided You have enough free USB-ports), or
indirectly by means of a so-called “HUB”.
Installation
Put the installation disk into your disk drive and connect the USB-cable onto a free USB-port.
The window "add new hardware wizard" will appear. Chose the option "Search for a better
driver than the one your device is using now (recommended)" and press "next". The software
will be installed, when this is done correctly press "finish".
Check onto which COM-port the USB-cable is connected, by opening "system" in the control
panel. The option "ports (COM & LPT)" in the window "device manager" of system, allows you
to check the current COM-port of the USB-cable. The name of the USB-cable in the list is:
"IDENTO USB <-> TTL Port", the COM-port number is displayed at the end of this name. This
COM-port number must be the same as the port number used by the software you want to
communicate with.
If communication is not possible using the automatically chosen COM-port, the COM-port
can be adjusted manual. To do this, select the port to be changed from the above mentioned list
in "ports (COM & LPT)". By clicking on properties a new window will appear. Change to the
"port settings" tab and click on the "advanced" button. In this window you can change the port
number.
Known problems
If during programming or reading using the USB-cable also a so-called "streaming device" is
used, the communication can generate problems. Therefore never connect a streaming device
onto the same USS controller, but connect it directly onto the PC. So in this case never use a
common HUB.

The door antenna plates must be optimized one by one with both antenna plates connected.
with the testing probe as shown on this drawing, and place it on the antenna plate.
The best position is where the cables are coming out of the antenna.
With the tuning jumpers you optimise the electrical field to an optimum.
Follow the flowchart on the next page.
The best result can be achieved if you use two testing probes at the same time.
One on each antenna plate.

Requirements:
Oscilloscope
Test probe with mass connection
Mass wire with crocodile clip
Plastic screwdriver
Make a test loop with the test probe and the mass wire by connecting by
means of the crocodile clip the mass wire to the probe point.
Adjust the oscilloscope in order to get a sine on the screen (134,20 kHZ).

After optimising, check that there are no “holes” in the antenna field between the plates.
Dismount the keyboard of the MM Interface and connect it to the ID-Unit (DHK).
Socket cables from the keyboard are inserted in the sockets on the print plate.
Or use the service keyboard shown here below
ENTER
Then choose the right row (1,2,3 or 4) by pushing .
A transponder number registered in the antenna area and can be seen on the display of the
service keyboard.
Move the transponder around in the antenna field.
The transponder is held as when the cow goes through the antenna.
If there are holes in the antenna field, the antennas might not be in "phase", and you will have to
switch the cable for one antenna plate in the socket.
If you switch the cables you must optimise the antennas again.
If necessary connect housing of RF- interface to shield
When the transponder is held in the middle of the antenna field, and turned in
vertical direction, the number will disappear at 90º, if the number appears again at
app. 85º when the transponder is turned back, the optimising is OK.
If the number appears again at a lower angle than app. 85º, you must optimise
again or check if there are other reasons for poor antenna signal.
