Powering on the Tester
Please above flow chart to power on the unit.
When the tester is powered on, the scanner will beep a few times indicating the scanner is also powered. If no beep
is heard check the PS2 connections from the tester, in case of wired scanner. When wireless scanner is provided,
keep pressing yellow button on wireless scanner till it starts and makes beeping noise that indicates it is connected
to the unit.
Initially the printer’s status light will be orange but after about 5-10 seconds it will change to green. The tester will not
print unless the printer light is solid green. A flashing red status light can indicate a media or general printer fault.
Note 1: If the TnP stays locked on the logo screen please check the connectivity of keyboard & scanner cables. The
TnP unit will not work with scanner only connected. The TnP system requires either Keyboard only, or both Keyboard
& Scanner to be connected.
Note 2: If no devices are connected to the interface, the unit will function as a normal TnT tester.
The TnP units have Memory. There is an inbuilt flash memory and a real-time clock. This gives the ability to store
up to 5,000 records, which can include items from 16 different sites and 6 different users. This will help to increase
the efficiency and pace of testing. The TnP units (with memory) have two operating modes:
TnP tester mode only, no peripherals (Keyboard, Scanner or Printer) connected
Test and Tag / TnT mode, all devices connected & on, allowing testing, scanning, retrieval & printing
The TnT mode is determined if a keyboard is connected. If there is no keypad / scanner detected, then the TnP will
start in tester mode by default, taking to Main Menu A. If the keypad & scanner are present, then the new barcode
screen will be loaded, in TnT mode.
CAUTION: All peripherals are supposed to be connected when unit is turned on. If keyboard / scanner were not
plugged in when unit turned on in TnT mode, tester will not connect to keyboard / scanner as “ Active / Hot
connection”. Please connect all peripherals, and turn off the unit. Restart the unit, once all connected.
Test n Tag Mode / Memory Mode
TnP500 starts in memory mode by default. Keyboard, scanner and printer are all integrated in this mode to
aid user to create / save equipment & sites with relevant details into on board memory. Test results are
saved and tags are printed at the end of test. Tags can also be reprinted from memory.
The test sequence starts with option of creating a barcode or searching a barcode from the memory. A site
and user has to be added before testing can be done.
Adding New Equipment
The following must be done before testing:
Create a site or use and existing site.
Create a user name to under the users list.
If auto generate number is used the initial number must be set correctly.
If you are adding equipment to an existing site please make sure that the correct site is displayed. If the
wrong site is displayed the equipment will be assigned to the wrong site.
When the testers memory has been erased it will look like the following screen.
