1Introduction
The c-ident handheld terminal HT11 is a device for logging transponders and bar codes.
It is used to read and display the chip numbers. It stores the collected IDs with a time
stamp and the location coordinate (GPS). The data transfer to the office computer is
done by means of USB connection.
We recommend a daily transfer of the collected data in order to avoid a possible
loss of data.
1.1 Display and Key pad
The instrument has an 8-line alphanumeric display with 20 characters each. Operation is
made via three keys situated below the display. You can start reading a transponder or
barcode via these keys. Below the keys, there are three LED’s showing the online
connection, the charger and GPS reception.
1.2 Charger
On the USB socket, a power supply with mini-USB connector can be connected.
Alternatively, the loading on the USB port of your PC is possible. The charging process is
indicated by the red LED. It disappears when the charging is interrupted or complete.
1.3 Starting up / Installation
The handheld terminal is powered from 3 rechargeable batteries type Micro / AAA. Please
use rechargeable NiMH batteries with at least 1000 mAh.
Before using it is necessary to set the internal clock. Please see Chapter 2 Section Set
Time.
The device has an internal backup battery for operation of the real-time clock and the
GPS reception. This can bridge a period of about 8h. It will be required if the operation
batteries are removed from the device or they are totally discharged.

Important:
During the start-up phase, leave the device switched on for as long as possible (eg in
online mode), so that the battery can be fully charged. To achieve the full battery
performance it is recommended to charge and discharge the device completely in the
first two cycles.
Please do NOT use non-rechargeable batteries. The device might accidentally be charged
and damaged (e.g. when connecting to a computer via USB cable).
Please make sure that the handheld does not heat up over +60°C.
Turn on the handheld by pressing any key. Turn it off by pressing F3 for a few seconds.
The office software offers three modes that can be set via function set mode (see
Chapter 2):
Barcode-tag allocation (Marry): The chip number and barcode along with a
time stamp and a GPS coordinate, if available, are stored in the internal memory
of the HT11.
Barcode-tag allocation with additional information: The chip number,
barcode and additional information along with a time stamp and a GPS coordinate,
if available, are stored in the internal memory of the HT11.
The additional information (status) is selected from a stored list by using the
arrow keys on the device. With F1 and F2 you scroll down the list and take over
the selected status with F3.
Emptying: The chip number or the barcode along with a time stamp and a GPS
coordinate, if available, are stored in the internal memory of the HT11.
Emptying with additional information: The chip number OR the barcode and
additional information along with a time stamp and a GPS coordinate, if available,
are stored in the internal memory of the HT11.
1.4 Driver Software
Is a prerequisite for effective communication that the USB port is set up correctly. Open
the folder USB Treiber on the CD supplied. Click the right mouse button on USB_Treiber
and select Run as administrator. If you do not have permission to install the driver, an

3Adding Additional Information with the Databoy Tool
If you want to add additional information to an emptying or allocation dataset, this must
be defined prior to operation. The additional information is stored in a simple Excel csv-
file.

Instruction manual c-ident handheld terminal HT11
c-trace 05.08.2015, Version 2 page 8 / 11
The file consists of two columns:
1. Consecutive number
2. Text for additional information
Then the file is transmitted via the DataBoy2mini tool. Please open the tab Data
Exchange  load selections. Select the file the information is to be transferred from.
4Operation
Press one of the function keys to turn the handheld on.
