Goodyear Portable Tire Reader User Instructions Model G3AM Phase IV Engineering 2820 Wilderness Place, Suite C Boulder, Colorado 80301 303-443-6611 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment is a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Goodyear Portable Tire Reader – User Instructions 1 GOODYEAR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 7376 07/13/01 Goodyear Portable Tire Reader User Instructions Phase IV Engineering Product Description Definition: In this manual, the term tag is used to refer to the chip that is in the intelligent tire. Product Description: Model G3AM, portable Radio Frequency Identification Tag Reader. The serial number on the bottom of the Reader begins with “G3”, includes a sequence number, and ends with an "AM". The Reader has the following features: 1. Power Requirements. Reader uses one 12 volt rechargeable battery (Dewalt DW 9071, Extended Run Time). 2. Non-volatile memory. The Reader is equipped with non-volatile memory that maintains user settings and stored data even when the battery pack is removed. 3. Turning the Reader On and Off. Turn the Reader on by pressing the push-button (Trigger) on the bottom of the handle; pushing the trigger again will cause the Reader to attempt to read tags. The Reader automatically shuts itself off two minutes after the last key-press or trigger-press. There is no separate off switch. LIGHT 4 7 1 A Z 0 5 8 2 ENTER 6 9 3 EXIT MODE DELETE 4. Keypad and Display. See the picture above: The Reader has a 4-row by 16-character display that is used to display tag data including, tag ID, temperature and pressure. Menus Goodyear Portable Tire Reader – User Instructions 2 GOODYEAR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 7376 07/13/01 used for setting Reader options are also shown on the Reader display. The keypad is used to select modes of operation (e.g. set date and time, choose display options, etc.). 5. Read Modes. The Reader has three read modes: 1) READ AND RECORD, 2) READ ONLY, and 3) ADD AIR PRESSURE. • READ AND RECORD: In this mode, whenever the Trigger is pressed, the Reader driver field is turned on briefly. The Reader attempts to read any tag in the read field during this time. When a tag is read the ID number, temperature and pressure are displayed. Data including the time, date, tag ID, temperature and pressure are stored in a data file. • READ AND RECORD WITH PRESSURE DATA ENTRY: This mode is the same as the READ AND RECORD MODE but includes the option to manually enter an air pressure (e.g. from a tire gauge) that will be stored in the data file with the other information associated with that tag read. • READ ONLY mode: This mode is the same as READ AND RECORD mode except no data are stored in Reader memory. 6. Display Light. The keypad contains a key which switches a display light on and off. It is not recommended that tags be read with the light on. 7. Data Storage. When the Reader is in either of the READ AND RECORD modes, the ID number, date, time, temperature, pressure, (and manually entered pressure if that mode is selected) for each valid read are stored in a sequential file in the Reader. The Reader memory can store up to 1000 reads. Subsequent reads will be displayed but will NOT be added to the date file. Stored data must be downloaded or erased by connecting the Reader to a computer via the RS232 (comm) port. The amount of Reader memory available is displayed on the ‘Status’ screen. 8. Time and Date. The Reader has an internal clock and battery that keep track of the time and date even when the Reader battery is removed. The time and date should be checked periodically and reset if necessary (see procedure below). First Time Operation of the Reader The Readers come with the handle section removed. To attach the handle, align the connector in the handle with the mating connector in the base of the Reader. Insert the handle until the handle and the base of the Reader touch. Tighten the two captive screws. A black plug is provided that snaps into the hole in the top of handle to cover the upper captive screw. Before using a Reader, insert a battery pack into the handle until it snaps into place. Note that the battery should be charged prior to first use. Battery Usage The battery pack should provide several hundred tag-reads between charges. When the battery requires recharging, the Reader will emit a Low Battery Signal during the read process. This signal is a single tone for approximately one second. Tags can be read after the Low Battery Signal, but the battery pack should be replaced and recharged as soon as possible after it occurs. A fully discharged battery takes about one hour to recharge. The battery pack is only partially discharged when the Low Battery Signal occurs, and recharging should take about one-half hour. The battery charger provides an indication when the battery is fully charged (see battery charger documentation). Basic Operation To turn on the Reader, push the Read push-button (Trigger) on the handle once. After the Reader is turned on, pushing the Read push-button will cause the Reader to interrogate tags. If the battery has been replaced since the Reader was last used, select the proper operating mode from the keypad before reading tags (see Reader Setup section below.) Goodyear Portable Tire Reader – User Instructions 3 GOODYEAR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 7376 07/13/01 To read the tire, the antenna section should be placed directly over the “Wingfoot”, and i…
