Before you start
Charging the internal battery
Note: Before using the stick reader, ensure that the internal battery is fully charged.
The ambient temperature should be between +5 and +40 °C (+41 and +104 °F) when charging the battery. 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
The stick reader may be used while it is on charge.
To charge the internal battery using a 12 V vehicle battery , see the
Using the stick reader
The stick reader can be used in two ways:
1 Standalone - the stick reader saves each scanned tag in its internal memory. These records can be transferred to a PC afterwards.
2 Connected – the stick reader is connected to another device, such as a weigh scale indicator or a PC running a third party application, via cable or
connection. When connected, the stick reader transmits every scanned tag immediately to the connected device.
Note:
When using a stick reader connected to another device, it still saves all the scanned tags to its own internal memory. Therefore, when you connect to a PC and run Data
Link, a session with a large number of unwanted scanned records may be displayed. If you don't need this session, it may be deleted.
Using the Data Link software
Data Link software can be installed from the USB flash drive/CD provided with the XRS Stick Reader. Data Link 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 Data Link.
To use Data Link:
1 Install the Data Link software on a PC. To do this, insert the
USB flash drive into a USB port or insert the CD into the CD
drive on your PC and follow the instructions.
2 Connect the stick reader to the PC's USB port using the XRS-
Serial cable and the USB-Serial adaptor (see opposite).
3 Turn on the stick reader.
4 Launch Data Link by double-clicking on the Data Link icon on the desktop.
Note:
For troubleshooting information, see the Data Link help system.
Using the Android* smartphone app
You can transfer sessions to and from the stick reader using an Android* smartphone
with the Tru-Test Data Link app installed. This free app can be downloaded from the
Google Play* Store. Instructions for using the Tru-Test Data Link app are available on the Tru-Test website www.tru-test.com.
When default settings are used.
