8.3 Use of the RFID
The transponder function has different tasks depending on whether the management is
switched on or off.
When the management is switched off, the transponder function is used to assign a tag to
a measurement series (ONLY RFID ON). The unique tag number is then added in the CSV
export.
When the management is switched on, this function only works if a battery bank has
previously been transferred to the TMC.
Once you have selected a measurement function, you can use the "SELECT BATTERY" to
navigate through the battery bank. You will notice that you will hear a constantly recurring
beep at the first call. This is the sign of readiness of the TMC to read in a tag. Now hold a
transponder tag 1-2cm over the display of the TMC. If the transponder tag is assigned to a
battery record, the record is displayed and a tone is heard. If it is unknown, a lower beep
sounds.
You can assign a transponder to an unused battery within the battery definitions at any
time. To do this, hold down the
-button until a repeating beep sounds. Now you only
need to hold the "new" transponder tag over the display of the RTS and wait for the
acknowledgment tone. That's it. Please do not forget to transfer the newly assigned tags to
the PC software. The menu point is MEASUREMENT SYSTEM-> TMC-2001 -> "Import
new RF-IDs from TMC"
8.4 Firmware Update
An upload of a new firmware into the RTS is possible. Before you perform this step, you
should see the version number of the existing firmware in the main menu under "INFO".
Install the "RTS_Updater" from our website. Make sure the RTS is properly paired with
your computer. Enter
the outgoing COM port of the Bluetooth connection
in the
RTS_Updater. Before you start the update process, the RTS must be set to update mode:
