Questions and Answers

    Why does my Tru-Test Scanner only scan an EID tag for a short time?
    • N
      Nancy ElliottSep 3, 2025
      If your Tru-Test Scanner only scans an EID tag for a short time, it is likely because the Read Mode is set to Standard or Single. This is normal operation for these modes. In Standard and Single read modes, the stick reader will stop scanning after 3 seconds if no tag is read, unless you hold the Scan key. If you want continuous scanning, set the Read Mode to Continuous. To change the Read Mode, go to Home, then Settings, then Tag Reading.

    Why does my Tru-Test SRS2 Scanner switch off unexpectedly?
    • C
      Catherine SalasSep 1, 2025
      If your Tru-Test Scanner has switched off unexpectedly, it is likely due to the auto power off feature, which is enabled by default. To change this, use the keypad to go to Home, then Settings, then General, then Auto Off, and press the ‘Scan/Select’ button to disable the auto power down or select a different auto power off period. Alternatively, the battery may be too low, so recharge it using the USB power adapter.

    What does ‘Battery Fault’ mean on my Tru-Test SRS2?
    • S
      Samantha GriffinAug 31, 2025
      If your Tru-Test Scanner displays 'Battery Fault', the battery is likely faulty. Try charging with a known good battery and replace the battery if required. In some cases, a faulty main module could also be the cause, requiring replacement.

    Why is my Tru-Test SRS2 Scanner not vibrating when scanning a tag?
    • T
      Tracy WoodAug 29, 2025
      If your Tru-Test Scanner isn’t vibrating when a tag is scanned, it could be because the Vibrator setting has been disabled. To resolve this, enable the Vibrator setting using the keypad to navigate to Home, then Settings, then General, and finally Vibration. If the setting is enabled and it still doesn't vibrate, the vibrator motor might be faulty, and you should consider replacing it.

    How to fix a Tru-Test SRS2 when the charging symbol is not cycling?
    • B
      brianmeyerAug 27, 2025
      If the charging symbol on the LCD of your Tru-Test Scanner is not cycling during charging, several factors could be at play. The power adapter might be faulty; try using a known good power adapter and replace if necessary. The USB cable could also be faulty; try a known good USB cable and replace if needed. The battery itself might be faulty; try charging with a known good battery and replace if necessary. In some cases, the internal USB loom might be faulty; try replacing it. As a last resort, the main module could be faulty, requiring replacement.

    What to do if LCD shows ‘Temperature out of Range’ on Tru-Test SRS2?
    • M
      Michael SmithAug 26, 2025
      If your Tru-Test Scanner is displaying 'Temperature out of Range', it could be due to a few reasons. The temperature might be outside the allowed range of 0 to 45 °C; ensure you charge the device within this range. Alternatively, the battery's internal temperature sensor might be faulty; try charging with a known good battery and replace if required. In some cases, the main module itself might be faulty and require replacement.

    How to fix a Tru-Test SRS2 Scanner that doesn’t power on?
    • S
      susan67Aug 25, 2025
      If your Tru-Test Scanner doesn’t power on when you press the On button, there could be several reasons. The keypad FFC might not be plugged in correctly, so check that it is correctly plugged into connector P105. The keypad itself could be faulty; try using a known good keypad and replace the case if necessary. The battery could also be faulty; test the battery and replace it if needed. In some cases, the stick reader might have been disconnected during a firmware update; use the Data Link firmware recovery feature. As a last resort, the main module might be faulty and require replacement.

    Why does the battery go flat quickly on my Tru-Test SRS2 Scanner?
    • M
      markbutlerAug 22, 2025
      If your Tru-Test Scanner's battery goes flat quickly, even when fully charged, the battery might be faulty. Try changing to a known good, fully charged battery and verify the stick remains on the Home screen for more than 20 hours. First, turn off the ‘Auto off’ feature by going to Settings, then General, then Auto Off, and choose Disabled. If the problem persists, the main module might be faulty and need replacement. You may need to replace the battery if required.
