Users Manual

813557 issue 2, 10/2011 © Tru-Test Limited, 2011 All rights reserved Bluetooth® is a registered trade mark owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. This quickstart guide provides basic instructions for setting up and using your XRS Stick Reader. For more detailed instructions, see the comprehensive XRS Stick Reader User Manual available on the CD supplied or at www.tru-test.com. Note: In this document, EID = Electronic Identification and VID = Visual Identification. Before you start Charging the internal battery Note: Before using the stick reader, ensure that the internal battery is fully charged. The battery will be fully charged in approximately 3 hours. When fully charged, the internal battery will allow the stick reader to be used for up to 19 hours 1 . The stick reader may be used while it is on charge. For other battery charging options, see the XRS Stick Reader User Manual. Using EziLink TM EziLink software can be installed from the CD provided with the XRS Stick Reader. EziLink allows information to be transferred to and from the stick reader and a PC. A number of stick reader settings can be adjusted on the stick reader itself, but there are some that must be configured using EziLink. To use EziLink: 1 Install the EziLink software on a PC (see information provided on the EziLink CD). 2 Connect the stick reader to the PC’s USB port using the XRS-Serial cable and the USB-Serial adaptor (see opposite). 3 Launch EziLink by double-clicking on the EziLink icon on the desktop: When connected, the XRS icon in the top right-hand corner of the EziLink screen illuminates and the connection details appear at the bottom of the screen. Note: For troubleshooting information, see the information provided on the EziLink CD. 1 When default settings are used. Parts of the stick reader LEDs The stick reader has two LEDs. One is green and the other is blue or red, depending on the current function of the stick reader. Here are the most common LED display sequences: Blue/Red LED flashes red. The stick reader is in the process of scanning for or reading an EID tag. Green LED flashes. The EID tag has been read successfully. Blue/Red LED is Blue when not flashing red. The stick reader is connected to a Bluetooth® device. Parts of the stick reader LCD Battery indicator Shows the battery charge level. Bluetooth set to auto Indicates that the Bluetooth setting is set to automatically connect to a Bluetooth device. To change this, see ‚Modifying the stick reader settings‛ below. Bluetooth connected The stick reader is connected to a Bluetooth device. Time The current time is displayed. The time and date are recorded against the animal ID during the scanning session. The stick reader’s date and time can be set in EziLink. See the XRS Stick Reader User Manual for information. Count The number of animals scanned during the current scanning session. Status Message display area. Turn on the stick reader Press the Read button. The stick reader beeps and the message ‚READY‛ appears on the LCD: Scanning an EID tag Press and release the Read button while passing the antenna near a tag. The ID tag number appears on the LCD, the green LED flashes once, the hand grip vibrates and the stick reader beeps to indicate that the tag has been read successfully. Tip: If animals are moving quickly through a race or into a pen, you can hold down the Read button continuously. Scanning will stop when the Read button is released 2 . Turning off the stick reader Press and hold the Scroll button. A countdown appears on the LCD (3, 2, 1) then the stick reader beeps and turns off. 2 When Read Button Mode is set to ‚Standard‛ (default). Using a cross-reference file A file containing EIDs and corresponding VIDs (visible tag numbers) can be uploaded into the stick reader prior to the scanning session, using EziLink. If a cross-reference file has been pre-loaded, the animal’s VID will appear in large numerals on the LCD when a tag is scanned. The EID is displayed in small numerals directly above. For information about uploading a cross-reference file, see the XRS Stick Reader User Manual. Modifying the stick reader settings To access stick reader settings: Press and hold both the Read button and the Scroll button. The first three items appear on the LCD with the EXIT option available at the top. To scroll through the menu options, press the Scroll button repeatedly. To select an option, highlight the option and press the Read button. To exit out of the stick reader menu settings, press the Scroll button until EXIT is highlighted, then press the Read button. For an explanation of the stick reader menu settings, see the following page. Other stick reader settings Other stick reader settings can be configured using the EziLink software. Settings include Automatic Power Down, Beeper and Vibration On/Off, Read Button Mode, Date/Time settings etc. See the XRS Stick Reader User Manual for information. Adding custom field information during scanning If you have enabled the Custom Field setting, you can add information about a particular animal during scanning. The stick reader has one preset custom field – Flag (options are 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5). The custom field may also be configured in EziLink (see the XRS Stick Reader User Manual for information). 1 Scan the EID tag as described above. 2 Press the Scroll button to view through the available options. 3 When the appropriate option is displayed, scan the next EID tag. The custom field information for the previously scanned EID tag will then be stored against it. Note: The custom field information will also be stored if the display times out and returns to the READY screen or the XRS is turned off. Receiving alerts during scanning If you have enabled the Alerts setting, you can receive alerts about a particular animal as its tag is read. A file containing EIDs and alert messages can be uploaded into the stick reader prior to the scanning session, using EziLink. 1 Scan the EID tag as described above. If an alert i…
