Menu Key
: The Menu k
ey is used to enter the Tool’s Menu
.
Select Key
: The Select key has three functions. The first function is to select a Menu item when in the Menu.
The second function is to turn the display on to read the information on the Display
when in the “
Beacon
”,
“Bentley”,
and
“Range Adjust” modes.
The Select key is also
used to begin a test in “Badge” mode
.
Battery Compartment
: The Tool is powered by two AA alkaline batteries placed in the battery compartment.
4.0 Operation with System A
4.1 Boot Post
When the power is turned on, the Tool will di
splay the message “Booting”,
all three indicator LEDs will flash in
sequence as the Tool performs an internal power on self-test, and the audible alert will beep for about 1 second.
This is normal and provides feedback that the display, all three LEDs, and the audible alert are functioning
properly. The Tool will then go into the last mode it was in before being powered down and is ready to be used.
4.2 Changing Modes
To change the mode that the Tool is in, press the Mode key, then use the Up and Down keys to navigate to the
desired mode. Next press the Select key and the Tool will enter the desired mode.
4.3 Turning the Display Back On
The power supply for the d
isplay interferes with the Tool’s radios and is turned off to allow the radios to
communicate with Beacons. If the
Tool’
s batteries are drawn down below a certain level, the display will go blank
when the power supply is turned off. Pressing the Select key will turn the display on for a brief time allowing it to
be read, but turning the radios off for that time period.
4.4 Beacon Communications Testing
The communications between a Beacon and a Badge can be tested with the Tool (the Tool emulates a Badge).
The Tool is placed in Beacon mode and the three indicator LEDs give an indication of the quality of the
communications at the range that the Tool is held from the Beacon (a Dispenser will have to be activated with the
Tool in range). The green LED will light if the Tool detects a 125 KHz signal but the signal is corrupt in some
manner. The yellow LED will light if the 125 KHz signal is found to be correct. The red LED will light when the
Beacon and Tool correctly complete a communications cycle (both the 125 KHz and 2.4 GHz radios have worked
correctly). The Tool will then display the Beacon’s address.
The Select key can be pressed to turn the display on
for a brief period so the results can be read.
4.5 Testing a Beacon’s Bentley Communications
The Tool can be used to check the operation of a B
eacon’s Bentley
radio by placing the Tool into Bentley mode,
then placing the Tool in the field of an active Beacon (a Dispenser Beacon must be activated). The Tool will only
respond to a Beacon five times while in Bentley mode to keep the Beacon from flooding the network with
messages. The next step is to use the d
ashboard’s
“Search” function to look up the Badge ID
# 0A 00 00 01 and
check if the
“Device”, date and time match
the B
eacon’s address
, and the time it was activated. The Select key
can be pressed to turn the display on for a brief period so the results can be read.
4.6 Testing Peripherals
The Tool can be used to verify the operation of the AC Sensor (FAS1542) and the external Antenna (FAS1540).
Please refer to the following two sections on the proper procedures to use.
4.6.1 Testing the AC Sensor (FAS1542)
To test the AC Sensor, please use the following steps.
1. Place the Tool in the Peripheral Test Mode.
2. Connect the AC Sensor that is to be tested directly to the Tool.
3. Place the AC Sensor on a power cord that is plugged into an outlet.
