Program transponder
To program a transponder, a valid barcode (GS1 compatible) must first be scanned. The data is then converted and written to the RFID transponder when scanning it. The procedure is described in detail below.
Procedure
The button to use this function can be set in the configuration.
By default, the upper middle button (T1) is used.
The device must be switched on.
Step 1: Scan barcode
Press and release the configured button. The yellow LED lights up and a short bright tone sounds. This means that the barcode reader is activated.
Wait until a barcode is read.
Successful Scan: A successful scan is confirmed with a short beep and a short vibration.
Failed Scan: A failed scan is signaled with three or more consecutive tones. The number of tones provides information about the reason for the error. If the scan fails, the process is aborted and can be restarted
Step 2: Scan transponder
After successfully scanning the barcode, the transponder to be programmed is scanned. For this purpose, the device must be held close to the transponder.
The writing process is started with the same button as when scanning the barcode. The process is signaled with a short bright tone and the yellow LED lights up. The RFID reader is now activated. Wait until a transponder is read.
Successful Scan: A successful scan is confirmed with a short beep and a short vibration. The data has been successfully written to the transponder.
Failed Scan: A failed scan is signaled with three consecutive tones. The number of tones provides information about the reason for the error.
Error messages
Error messages are signaled with 3 or more consecutive tones. The number of tones provides information about the reason for the error.
| Number of tones | Error |
|---|---|
| 3 | No barcode was detected or the procedure was cancelled by pressing a wrong button. |
| 4 | Failed to convert the barcode to an EPC (Missing GCP, Missing data like serial number, ...) |
| 5 | Failed to write to the transponder (No transponder found, transponder is locked, ...) |
| 6 | Unexpected Error |
