  • Page 2: Technical Specifications

    Overview Introduction The WORKmate II is a cost effective data capture terminal for connection to the Vicking Electronics concentrator network. It can be used for: a. Real-time job control, at every workstation, the appropriate information can be entered by the operator, using the keyboard or the attached barcode reader.

  • Page 3: Power Supply

    The WORKmate II can measure the voltage on the powerlines, the more this voltage drops the more is lost in the cables.
  • Page 4 7). The inputs are only meant to detect if a switch in on or off. Do not connect an external voltage to the input pins. You need the I/O board if you want more powerful inputs. Pag. 4 Vicking electronics...
  • Page 5 3. Automatic mode. The backlight switches off if no key is pressed for a while. Serial line The WORKmate II has standard a full RS232 serial line on board, this can be used to connect a printer or an external display.
  • Page 6 Do not use this setting and connect an external voltage to the input ,it will result in a short circuit. The I/O board has a DIN connector to connect the WORKmate II to the concentrator network, to be compatible with WORKmate36. You also can connect a cable directly to the WORKmate with a screw connector, if for example your cable comes through a wall.
