User's Manual

Your PSR-310 features a very powerful ALERT LED with Audible Alarm capability that allows you to set
different types of visual and audible notifications for the different types of objects you create.
You may have noticed that the menus for each object you create include various settings for LED, Backlight
and Alarm. You can use these settings to design custom visual and/or audible alarms that are triggered
when activity is detected on the specified Scannable Object.
NOTE: The Alert LED utilizes a special tri-color Light Emitting Diode module that mixes light from red,
green and blue LED elements to produce thousands of different colors. Eight pre-defined color settings are
available for use in object menus. LED COLOR: 0 is normally used for “all colors off”, or no Alert LED
display.
NOTE: Slight variations to LED colors are a normal part of the manufacturing process. You may notice
these variations when using the White LED color setting (LED COLOR: 0), or when comparing one
PSR-310 to another. You can compensate for these slight variations by fine-tuning the Red/Green/Blue
(RGB) LED settings for each color. See the COLOR settings in the GLOB menu in Detailed Menu
Reference section at the end of this manual.
Audible Alarm and ALERT LED Settings
Each object you create has the following ALERT LED and Audible Alarm settings:
LED Mode: Solid or Flash controls whether the LED remains on solid or flashes when the object is active.
LED Color: 0-7 sets the color of the LED. By default, color 0 is used for LED off. You can change the LED
colors in the Global Settings menu.
Latch LED keeps the LED on after activity on the object is finished. This is useful in cases where you need
to know if an object was active while you were away from the scanner.
Backlight: Off, On, Flash controls whether the backlight remains off, comes on solid or flashes when the
object is active.
Alarm: None, Chirp, Hi-Lo, Alert, Ring, 2-Chirp, Fast Hi-Lo, DTMF # are used to set audible alarms that
play each time activity is found on the object.
