Acroprint ARES III - Manual (Page 11)

Recorder M4000 Operation:
The reader has a luminous indicator called LED (light emitting diode) and a Buzzer.
To install battery: Open the top of your reader and connect a 9 volt battery, preferably alkaline. If the battery is in good shape the LED will emit 2
green
blinks with two beeps, followed by one green blink with a beep .
To make a recording: To effect recordings of Recording Stations, ID Keys, Incident Booklets, (any iButtons) you need only to touch them with the
reader’s probe. If a correct recording is effected the reader will emit two continuous
green blinks each with a beep.
Low battery: During recording operations (with each recording) a low battery status will be advised by the recorder M4000 by emitting
2 red blinks each
with a beep. This means you will have to change the battery soon. A dead battery will be advised with 1 red blink with a beep.
Full Memory: When the memory of your reader reaches “full” status (5460 recordings), each time you attempt a recording, the reader will emit
4 red
blinks each with a beep; this means your recorder is not reading anymore. For this case please effect a full download of data to your PC and then erase
the memory to reset; now your reader will be ready for the next load cycle of 5460 new recordings.
(Recorders Tab):
Here is where you setup and register your M4000 Recorders to the Ares III System. Each recorder comes labeled with a factory programmed 16 charac-
ter serial number. This will enable the user to view
(discern) in the Recordings folder, all the recordings effected by each recorder and guard. Here
again! who, when, what and how is critical in the security business.
