NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 3 of 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FCC ID: OOANRT202 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 4 of 4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3. SETTING UP A TERMINAL FOR FIRST USE Before a terminal can be used on the NOMAD network it must be assigned a node number so that the system can distinguish it from other terminals in the system. This will also clear the memory of the terminal and inform the system that all relevant menus should be uploaded into the terminal. 3.1 ENTERING A NODE NUMBER Every terminal on a given system must be uniquely identified by a node number.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 5 of 5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The language number can be in the range 0 to 3 and indicates which language the menus should be. The default system language is 0. Additional languages (up to three) can be defined in the system setup for NOMAD and individual nodes then initialised to one of these. This way employees of different languages may work on the system side by side. Note that to change language the terminal has to re-initialised and its memory cleared as above.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 6 of 6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS In the example above the firmware bootstrap is version 5.0.5, the main code version is 5.7.4, the system number is 0 and the node number is 002. The start-up screen shows for 5 seconds and is shown whenever the terminal is removed from the charging station or the batteries are inserted. 4.2 STANDBY MODE The default display for the terminal takes the general form below, A typical display after removing a terminal from the charging station.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 7 of 7 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The message has been sent (00%) and confirmation that operator 1 is recognised in the system is shown by displaying their name. If operator 1 had not been recognised then the following would be displayed. If the battery starts to get low the Batt symbol will alternate with the battery voltage in the lower left corner. When the battery has insufficient power to operate the terminal reliably the Batt symbol will be displayed continuously. 4.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 8 of 8 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.5 MULTI-USER If in multi-user mode the operator number/name will be replaced by MUSER 5. ENTERING DATA The normal state of the terminal is standby - the keypad is locked against accidental operation. 5.1 NORMAL MODE To exit the standby mode press and hold the 4 and the 6 keys together. A prompt inviting the user to Enter Command will be displayed.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 9 of 9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Note that the terminal will only accept codes other than Clock In (code 0) if the user has clocked in. Once clocked in the prompt for code 0 will change to Clock Out . After pressing enter to Clock Out the user will be prompted to Confirm . This is done by pressing the ENT key again. 5.2 MULTI-USER MODE To exit the standby mode press and hold the 4 and the 6 keys together. A prompt inviting the user to Enter Operator will be displayed.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 10 of 10 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6.1 WARNING TONES There are three possible results of scanning a barcode and each produce a different type of beep from the terminal. The barcode is read and accepted single beep The barcode is read correctly but rejected (for example, an attempt to enter a task before being clocked in) three distinct beeps. The terminal was unable to read the barcode long waning tone with two distinct pitches.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 11 of 11 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The NOMAD system has distinct categories of barcodes so that the terminal can recognise whether the difference between clocking in operator one or entering task one. There are two types of task barcode. One is for entering the task there and then, for instance coffee break. The other is for selecting a task that will requires further information (such as a row or path number to indicate the operator s location) that will be entered later.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 12 of 12 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS It is also possible to use a combination of keypad entries and barcode entries. It might be desirable for the operator to use keypad entries for clocking in/out and selecting tasks and only using the barcode labels for the rows for instance. Conversely, some customers might not appreciate the benefits of labelling every row within a glasshouse yet want greater security over clocking in and task selection.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 13 of 13 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS If the rechargeable battery is at a level where safe data entry cannot be guaranteed the terminal will prevent the operator from entering data and a Flat Battery message will be displayed whenever data entry is attempted. The terminal should be placed back in its charger and the battery allowed to charge. Alternatively, the battery could be replaced with a spare fully charged battery. DATA WILL NOT BE LOST IF THE BATTERY FULLY DISCHARGES. 7.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 14 of 14 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9. MAINTAINENCE AND CARE The NRT202 terminal has been designed to give reliable service in the intended environment and is largely maintenance free. 9.1 CLEANING Periodically wipe the barcode window and front face of the terminal with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If necessary a water based cleaner may be used to remove stubborn deposits. DO NOT USE SOLVENT CLEANERS. 9.
NOMAD - NRT202 PAGE 15 of 15 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 10.1 COMMUNICATION RANGE Communication range is subject to local environmental conditions. The NRT202 terminals are designed to have a typical communication distance of 50m from a link unit in a glasshouse. Communication range will be affected by local conditions and no guarantee can be made of the actual communication range encountered in an individual situation.
