Testing the stick reader

Testing the power connection (XRS EID Stick Reader only)

Connect the power adaptor and check that battery-charging symbol on the LCD is cycling during
charging. When the battery is fully charged, the battery-charging symbol will stop cycling, but may
restart periodically to apply a top-up charge.

Testing the power connection (SRS EID Stick Reader only)

Connect the power adaptor. If the battery is not full, the Red and Green LEDs flash to indicate the
device is charging. If the battery is fully charged, the Red LED remains on constantly.

Testing the serial and USB connection (stick reader to PC)

Test the serial and USB connection by connecting the stick reader to a PC, via the SRS/XRS-Serial
cable and USB-Serial adaptor supplied with the stick reader. The connection can be verified by
running EziLink.
1 Connect the stick reader to the PC's USB port using the SRS/XRS-Serial cable and USB-Serial
adaptor.
2 Turn on the stick reader.
3 Launch EziLink by double-clicking on the EziLink icon on the desktop:
When connected, the stick reader icon in the top right-hand corner of the EziLink screen
illuminates and the connection details appear at the bottom of the screen.
Communication with EziLink indicates that the serial and USB connection are both functioning
correctly. If not, then the SRS/XRS-Serial cable or the USB-Serial adaptor may be faulty. Check using
a known good cable/adaptor.

Testing the Bluetooth wireless connection (stick reader to weigh scale indicator)

Test the Bluetooth wireless connection by pairing the stick reader with an EziWeigh7 or XR3000
Bluetooth or ID3000 Bluetooth weigh scale indicator.
The weigh scale indicator and stick reader will automatically pair and connect using the default
settings.
To establish a Bluetooth wireless connection between the stick reader and the weigh scale indicator:
1 Turn on the weigh scale indicator.
2 Turn on the stick reader.
XRS EID Stick Reader only: The stick reader displays a rotating circle while it attempts to pair and
connect with the weigh scale indicator.
SRS EID Stick Reader only: The stick reader‟s blue light will flash rapidly while it attempts to pair
and connect with the weigh scale indicator.
XRS EID Stick Reader only: After a few seconds or minutes the stick reader‟s LCD will display a
3
lightning bolt symbol and the weigh scale indicator will display "BT Status: Connected" to indicate
that the Bluetooth wireless connection is active.
SRS EID Stick Reader only: After a few seconds or minutes the stick reader‟s blue light will
illuminate to indicate that the Bluetooth wireless connection is active. If the connection fails, the
blue light will flash once every 3 seconds and the stick reader will be in slave mode (accepting
incoming connections).
