5. Vectron T10
The Vectron T10 enables you to establish a server-based, cashless
payment system within a closed area. This reduces error sources
and limits cash transactions to a few points of sale.
Mobile Vectron POS systems are optionally equipped with an
integrated module for a contactless card system, a so-called
transponder. By using the Vectron T10, stationary Vectron POS
systems as well as hybrid systems in stationary mode are able to
read RFID-cards. Vectron therefore provides a closed and fully
compatible system in the field of loyalty programs. Mobile termi-
nals as well as all stationary Vectron POS systems can read the
rugged and wear-resistant RFID cards.
The Vectron RFID card technology boasts a large variety of ap-
plications. The cards can be used to sign in and out operators, to
open guest checks and for vouchers, staff sales or other dis-
counts.
5.1. Shipment
Please check the correct delivery on receipt. In case of
incorrect delivery please contact your Vectron dealer.
Your local dealer will supply the system and install it. You
may then start working immediately.

5.2. Components and mounting
The product Vectron Transponder reader/writer T10
includes the Vectron T10 incl. combined power- and data
cable, the external power supply Vectron PS80 and a user
manual.
5.2.1. Vectron T10
The Vectron T10 writes and reads respective cards. The
used format is „Tag-It HF-I plus®“.
Fig. 1: Vectron T10
This technology is used to sign in and out operators and to
open guest checks. Furthermore, you can use RFID cards
for vouchers, staff sales or other discounts. The operator
simply puts his card onto the surface of the Vectron T10.
The transponder module reads the card data and releases
the respective authorization for this operator.
Text control of the Vectron T10 is completely effected via
Vectron POS software.

Display:
The transflective LCD with background lighting has two
lines, each with 16 characters. Info texts indicate the cur-
rent status or an expected activity.
Contact surface:
A highlighted reading-/writing surface for the RFID card
and the radio symbol round the blue LED mark the contact
surface. This surface needn‘t be covered completely; the
transponder module recognizes the card even if only part
of the surface is covered.
Stainless steel holder:
The stainless steel holder serves to hold the RFID card.
Power- and data cable:
A Y-cable is attached fixed to the transponder housing. It
consists of a power- and a data cable, each of them has a
length of 2 m.

Keys:
A confirmation- and a cancel key are available for future
applications.
LEDs:
The blue LED is in the middle of the contact surface and it
serves for visual user guidance.
Another red/green status-LED right of the display indicates
the current status of Vectron T10 by lighting up or by
flashing slowly or quickly.

ity or an error.

5.3. System concept and functioning
Using the Vectron Transponder reader-/writer T10 at a
stationary POS system enables operator sign in and -out
and guest check opening per RFID card with format „Tag-It
HF-I plus®“.
Vectron T10 can also be used for establishing a server-
based customer-, discount- or bonus card system. Likewise,
you can realize a server-based In-house payment system,
e.g. for clubs, discos, stadia, saunas, canteens, golf clubs,
zoo, etc. Each guest gets a card, which he can use for
ordering at any Vectron POS system during his stay. The
POS system manages the orders and the guest pays when
leaving the location. Furthermore it is possible to collect
orders over a longer period in the POS system and to issue
e.g. monthly invoices.

Thanks to the rugged, splash-proof housing the Vectron
T10 can well be used in the counter area, in a sauna or in a
skiing area.
Operation requires a stationary Vectron POS system with
Vectron POS software 4.2.12.0 or higher.
Note
Tag-it® RFID-cards can be initialized in any way.
