1 Power on the stick reader using the On/Off button
2 Verify the operation of the Up/Down buttons by changing the selected view on the Home screen.
3 To verify the operation of the alphanumeric keys (XRS2 EID Stick Reader), enter the ‘New Session’ menu.
Press 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0. Verify that the Session Name shows WTPMJGDA 0.
4 To verify the operation of the ‘Backspace’ key
, check that the ‘0’ is removed when the Backspace key
is pressed.
5 Press the left hand softkey and verify that the stick reader moves back into the Home screen.
6 Enter the ‘New Session’ screen again and press the right hand softkey (tick). Verify that ‘New Session
started’ is displayed, and that the stick reader changes to the Scan screen.
7 From the Scan screen, press the centre softkey button and verify that the stick reader goes to the ‘Home’
screen.
The SRS2 and XRS2 EID Stick Reader contains a built-in 3.7 V Li-ion battery back with integrated protection
circuit, and internal temperature sensor for monitoring temperature during charging. The PCA contains a
dedicated battery management integrated circuit for charging the battery.
The battery is charged over the 5 V USB interface. It is recommened to use the 5 V USB power adapter supplied
with the stick reader. (The charging time is approximately 5.45 hrs).
The stick reader can also be charged off a USB port that can supply 500mA, however the charge time will be
increased.
• Lithium Ion batteries naturally lose some of their capacity each year depending on the temperature and
b
attery state, and eventually need to be replaced if the stick reader will not be used for an extended perio
d
of
time. Capacity loss can be minimised by storing the stick reader in a cool place and with the battery only
half full. It is better to recharge the battery before use than after use.
• For safety reasons, the battery charger monitors the battery temperature during charging using the internal
t
emperature sensor. The resistance between the centre internal temperature sensor wire and BATT- is
related to the temperature of the battery. The battery will not charge outside of the range of 0 °C – 40 °C.
• Battery run time will be reduced at cooler temperatures.
• The battery pack contains a protection circuit which protects from high discharge conditions (including
s
horts), over voltage conditions during charging, and over discharge conditions. If an over discharge
condition occurs, the internal FET’s (switches) will turn off and the output voltage will measure 0 V. This ca
n
be
remedied by briefly applying 4 V across the +/- terminals. A battery in a stick reader in this state can be
recovered by charging the stick reader with the power adaptor.
