USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
POWER UP
Open the case with the handle on the bottom half. The power
adapter is stored inside.
Plug in the power adapter to the wall, and insert the barrel
connector in to the base of the Tester, located between the
hinges on the rear of the case.
TURN ON THE TOUCHSCREEN TABLET
If the Tag Health Tester has been provided power, you should
see a small orange light flashing in the top-left face of the
tablet.
Press and hold the power button, located on the top edge of
the tablet on the left, for three seconds.
The tablet takes approximately thirty seconds to fully start.
The Touchscreen will, after booting, show this:

SETTINGS
By tapping on the gears in the bottom-
right corner you will see a settings
page. Ensure that both sliders are all
the way to the top (set to 63); this
should be default. The COM port
shown at the top may differ from the
one shown in the image to the right.
Click the arrow in the bottom left
corner to close this screen. You are
now ready to test some apparel!
USAGE
First, select the type of apparel you wish to test –yellow vest,
orange vest, or hard hat –by clicking on the apparel type icon
at the top of the screen.
Place the apparel on the Tester in the circular target on the left
side of the case. Tap the ‘Start’ button. The timer will begin to
count down, and the health tester will approach 100% as tags
are detected. Scan time is typically under five seconds.

When the scan is complete, and if all tags are okay, you should
see this:
The output screen will indicate the MAC address of the
apparel, and how many tags were detected.
A piece of apparel will pass if more than 90% of the tags are
present.
If there are damaged tags, the scan will time out after twenty
seconds, and you’ll get a screen like this:

Tag Health Tester Mobile Quick Start Guide 1_1
This means that (in this case) only 9 of the 14 (64%) tags in the
vest are functioning properly, and the vest should not be used.
Ensure to re-test a piece of apparel before discarding it, as
poor positioning of the apparel can cause erroneous readings.
You may move the apparel while scanning to ensure all the
tags are within the detection zone above the Tag Health Tester.
EXITING
Press the quit button (the power icon) in the bottom-left of the
window. A confirmation dialog will appear:
Tap ‘Shut Down’ to turn off the touchscreen. When the orange
light in the top-left face of the tablet returns to flashing, it is
safe to disconnect the Power Adapter.

TROUBLESHOOTING
ERR: Communications timeout
Ensure that the channels are both set to 63 in the settings
section.
Apparel works fine in the field but the tester
doesn’t pass
A SCAN~LINK Armour system alarms for the detection of even
a single tag. We include many tags (up to fifteen in an orange
Surveyor’s vest) to improve redundancy and to cover all angles
for optimal detection –as the RFID scan won’t pass through a
human body.
A vest that is detected in one direction may not be detected in
another –for instance, a worker sitting or kneeling facing away
from a machine may not be detected if the tags on the back or
top of the garment are broken.
