3.8 Updating Operating Software in REA ScanCheck 3
The REA ScanCheck 3n operates with its own embedded computer system and software programs
installed upon it. This software is always up to date upon delivery.
REA will work on improvements and updates in the future and provide these to customers in order to
update their units. REA places the latest versions on the Internet in the Support area for download.
The address is:
http://support.rea-verifier.de
The data required for access are:
Username: REA_Verifier, Password: REA-C36754
An update can be made in various ways:
• By USB memory stick
• By using the update program that is located on the supplied CD-ROM. The PC program thereby
communicates with the REA ScanCheck 3n via the network interface on the PC and the
supplied connection cable (see Chapter 3.4).
To use the update program, the PC requires the Microsoft ".Net Framework" program, in
version 2.0 or newer.
Attention:
The charger should always be connected during the update.
If the ScanCheck is deactivated during an update due to empty batteries, it must be shipped to
the manufacturer for repair.
3.8.1 Updating Using a USB Memory Stick
This update requires a conventional USB memory stick with at least 10 MB of memory free and the
common FAT formatting. The software required for updating is available from REA as a compressed
(zipped) file.
This file must first be copied to a directory on the local PC and extracted there.
The software consists of at least 2 files:
• a Linux program "run"
without file extension and
• an update file with the name 'updatesc3.tgz'
Both files must then be copied from the PC to the
root directory (not a sub-directory) of a USB memory
stick.
Once the copy process is successful, the memory
stick can be removed from the PC.
Then insert the memory stick into the left-hand USB
port on the REA ScanCheck 3n.
