11.5.1 Direct Measurement
Briefly press the button (<1 sec.)
to start a direct measurement;
the display will now show "RFID"
or "CARD". Then continue with
point 11.6.
11.5.2 Timer Measurement
Press and hold the button longer (>1 sec.)
if you want to start a timer measure-
ment, i.e. if you want the measurement
to start automatically after a fixed incu-
bation time. Depending on the configura-
tion, the display now shows "RFID" or
"CARD". Timer measurements can be
canceled during the measurement by pressing the button.
11.6 Test Configuration Data
Place the test-specific RFID card included in the test kit
on the top of the device or hold the device against the
surface labeled "RFID". Wait for an audio signal to
confirm loading of the configuration file.
11.7 Test
After a successful transfer or selection of the test configuration, "TEST" is
now shown on the display.
11.7.1 Show Test- & Lot-specific Information
Optionally, you can press and hold the button for
>1 sec to display test and lot specific information.
With a short press of the button, you can return
to the "TEST" display and continue with the
measurement.
11.8 Start Measurement
Start the measurement by briefly pressing the
button.
11.9 Run
The display now shows "RUN" and the measure-
ment is carried out.
11.10 Result
After a few seconds, the result will be displayed.
11.11 Saving Result
The internal memory of the device allows saving several hundred results.
If the internal memory is already full when a new measurement result is
3
stored, the oldest result will be overwritten. Any further storage leads to a
corresponding chronological overwriting.
There are three different options for setting the internal storage of meas-
urement data. If no backup is required or not enabled, continue with step
11.11.1.
11.11.1 Return to 'ON' state
After briefly pressing the button, "ON" appears again on the display. You
can now continue with step 11.3 again.
11.12 Switch-off
If the device is switched on and will not be activated for about 50 sec., the
device automatically shuts down. If a new measurement shall be started,
start again at step 11.2.
Please note:
There is no active function to shut off the device.
12 QC Test with QC set
A basic check of the device function is ensured by the integrated self-test
during the switch-on process. In addition, a QC test can be carried out in-
dependently at any time with the help of a QC set, in which the correct
function is checked by concrete measurement of a test tool. The QC set
required for this may be included in the scope of delivery or can be pur-
chased if required. The QC set consists of a QC adapter and an associated
QC test configuration on an RFID tag (integrated in the adapter or en-
closed as an RFID card), in a light-proof packaging with a desiccant.
12.1 QC Test Measurement
To perform a QC test, please take the QC adapter out of the packaging and
place the reader on top according to step 11.4 "Test Insertion". Then press
the button briefly, the text "RFID" or "CARD" should appear on the dis-
play. Hold the corresponding RFID card with the QC configuration on the
device and wait until the transmission of the configuration file is con-
firmed by an audio signal. The result is immediately displayed as
"PASS/OK" or "FAIL".
Attention:
The QC test can pass (e.g. "PASS/OK") or fail (e.g. "FAIL"). If the
test is not passed, the device should not be used under any cir-
cumstances, as the measurement results could be incorrect. In
this case, please contact your distributor for the replacement of
defective devices.
Attention:
The QC set must be stored under special conditions: light-
proof packaging, temperature 18 - 22°C, maximum humidity
40%. The packaging provided with a desiccant guarantees these
conditions.

13 Error Messages

13.1 Display: "ERR"
The device could not read the RFID card correctly.
Fix
Confirm by briefly pressing the button, the display now shows "ON" again.
Proceed to step 11.5 again. If the error occurs repeatedly, please contact
your distributor.
13.2 Display: "DATE"
The expiration date of the test has passed.
Fix
The device compares the internal date with the expi-
ration date of the test.
Check the expiration date of the test and use a new one if it is indeed ex-
pired. After briefly pressing the button, "ON" appears on the display and
you can continue with step 11.4. If the expiry date has not yet passed,
check the device-internal date, and correct it if necessary (see chapter 14).
13.3 Display: "FAIL"
The device could not find a C line.
Fix
Ensure that the test cassette is correctly inserted into the device (step
11.4). Then return to the "ON" state with a short press and repeat step
11.5. If the error occurs again, use a new test.
13.4 No Function
Despite pressing the button, no information appears
on the display.
Possible cause: Discharged batteries
Fix
Open the battery compartment and replace the discharged batteries with
new ones as described in section 9 "Battery Operation".
If the device still does not respond with new batteries, please contact the
distributor.
