The Patrol Wand is an information collector with a built-in clock and storage. Each information button (or card) has a unique code number which is different from all the other buttons. The information button is installed at each patrol point. When the Patrol Wand is placed over the information button, it reads the code number and generates a time stamp with it.
The information from the Patrol Wand is transferred to the PC by means of a USB communication unit. Each patrol wand can store up to 8000 records. The patrol wand will give one long “beep” (for a second) and a quick flash from the indicator to confirm that the button information is successfully stored.
If the same button is read within 2 minutes, the patrol wand will send out a short “beep” (shorter than a half second) and a quick flash from the indicator to prompt an error in reading. The data from the same button will not be recorded in this case.
When the records exceed 7700 entries, the patrol wand will give a four “beeps” and four flashes from the indicator to alert the user that the storage is almost full. The user is strongly advice to transfer the data to the PC as soon as possible. When the records reach 8000 entries, the Patrol Wand will not store further information. The user needs to transfer the data to the PC via the USB communication unit to clear the Patrol Wand’s storage space for new data.
