Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.
NOMAD™ - NRT202 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 5 of 15 The NRT302 data terminal is a hand-held wireless keypad and display for entry of numeric data. This terminal provides the primary data entry method of the NOMAD system. Data entry is guided by menus displayed on the graphic display. The terminal is powered by rechargeable batteries with a built in charger that draws DC power from a charging adapter.
NOMAD™ - NRT202 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3. PAGE 6 of 15 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 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 7 of 15 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 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 8 of 15 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 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 9 of 15 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 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 10 of 15 To view the feedback message press and hold the up arrow key while in standby mode. Releasing the up arrow key will return the terminal to standby mode. 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.
NOMAD™ - NRT202 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 11 of 15 “Clock In” the user is prompted for “Operator” and should enter their works number. The number of digits that the terminal will accept will vary depending on the parameter and the setting made in the NOMAD system. 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”.
NOMAD™ - NRT202 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6.2 PAGE 12 of 15 The terminal was unable to read the tag – long waning tone with two distinct pitches. RFID TYPES The standard terminal will only recognise MIFARE RFID tags or cards. 6.3 MAKING AN ENTRY A typical sequence for operator 1 and task number 3, interrupted by task 100 might be as follows. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
NOMAD™ - NRT202 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 13 of 15 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. With this in mind a RFID only mode is available. 6.5 RFID ONLY MODE In RFID only mode, it is still possible to enter a row via the keypad but all other entries, including task selection, must be made via the keypad.
NOMAD™ - NRT202 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 14 of 15 in communication range of a link unit to allow the system to extract the data and therefore free up memory. While this is happening the % meter in the lower right corner of the display will be seen to decrement as each message is sent. 8. CHARGING There is no on/off switch on the terminal. It is intended that it is either in use or on charge. No harm will be done to the battery if the terminal is left on charge for indefinite periods.
NOMAD™ - NRT202 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9.2 PAGE 15 of 15 KEYPAD On no account should the keys of the terminal be pressed with sharp or hard objects - including fingernails. Use of such objects may result in premature failure of the keypad. 10.
