■Overview“Check Pen S” is a pokayoke (mistake prevention) tool with a compact wireless module HRF-2402 built in fortransmitting work confirmation to prevent mistakes in marking and approval marking.
The Check Pen S can communicate with a Pokayoke receiver “TW-800R-***” series.
<Features>◆Compatible with various brands of pens by changing the pipe of the Check Pen S.
◆We support commercially available stamps.
◆Reliable communication
TW-800 can communicate automatically by selecting the channel from 76ch in 2.4GHz bandwidth.
TW-800 transmits the signal reliably by 2way communication. (You can look see the communication OK/NG by
LED lighting and flashing.)◆Uses a small and lightweight coin battery as a power source.
◆Battery life of about 300,000 uses. (depending on usage conditions)◆Battery level notification function

A function to notify when the battery level is low (when press with test switch) or when the battery needs to be
replaced.
The battery level will be notified by both Check Pen S and receiver LEDs when the battery level is low and will
be notified by Check Pen S LED when the battery needs to be replaced.
◆Uses a communication band that is available worldwide.
◆The Check Pen S can communicate with a receiver TW-800R-***.
◆Communication distance of approx.30m indoors (varies depending on the operating environment).
◆Available countries：Japan, Canada, USA, Mexico, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and India.

The Check Pen S and a Pokayoke receiver TW-800R-*** need to be paired before use.
By pairing them, they recognize an identification signal from each other and communicate with each other.
This manual describes how to pair the Check Pen S with the receiver TW-800R.
For pairing with a receiver other than TW-800R, see the instruction manual of each receiver.
⚫ Pairing (registration)①Press the lighting switch for paring of the receiver, and turn ON the power switch at the same time.
The lighting switch for paring blinks and the receiver enters the pairing mode for 10 seconds.

Lighting switch for paring
Pairing switch(Test switch)

Power switch②Long press the pairing switch of the Check Pen S for 3 seconds or longer.
③The lighting switch for paring of the receiver goes out and pairing is complete.
When the lighting switch for paring stops blinking and lights up, this indicates that the pairing has failed. Turn
OFF the receiver power and start the procedure again.
④Turn OFF the power of the receiver once and turn it ON again, and the receiver can communicate with thepaired Check Pen S .
⚫ Reset pairing①Press the lighting switch for paring of the receiver, and turn ON the power switch at the same time.
The lighting switch for paring blinks and the receiver enters the pairing mode for 10 seconds.
Long press the lighting switch for paring for 2 seconds or longer, and the lighting switch for paring lights up
and the paired (registered) data of the Check Pen S is deleted.
◆Notes
A long press on the pairing switch of the Check Pen S (3 seconds or more) when the receiver is not in the pairing
mode resets the pairing with the receiver and prevents communication with the registered receiver. When pairing
is reset by mistake, perform the pairing procedure again.

■How to Use the Check Pen S①Turn ON the power switch of the receiver.
Make sure the receiving LED is OFF.
When the receiving LED lights up, the Check Pen S is not paired. Pair the receiver and Check Pen S.

LED (Green & Red)
Receiving LED (Green)(Lighting switch for paring)②Pressing the point of the Check Pen S with a certain force or more will generate a signal.
When the communication is executed normally, the receiver generates a relay output and the buzzer isactivated according to the settings.
The green LED of the Check Pen S blinks once.
When the communication is not executed normally, the receiver is not activated.
The red LED of the Check Pen S blinks 10 times.
When the point of the Check Pen S is pressed, the built-in switch is pressed and a signal is generated.
No signal is generated by shaking the pen left and right instead of pressing it.

[Pen][Stamp]No signal is generated by not pressing the point of thepen, and even by shaking the pen left and right.

While the receiver is generating a relay output or preventing a double count, the receiver returns a BUSY signal to
the Check Pen S. Upon receiving the BUSY signal, the green LED of the Check Pen S blinks 4 times.

The buzzer sounding time of the receiver is normally 100 msec. Only when the relay output time is set to 50
msec. and the double count prevention time is set to 10 msec., the buzzer sounding time is 50 msec.
*When an unpaired the Check Pen S transmits a signal, the red LED blinks 3 times.

●Test switch (pairing switch)
The Check Pen S is equipped with a test switch for communication and battery voltage checks. The Receiver
LED is triggered by a signal from the test switch, but a relay output is not generated. When the test switch ispressed, the Check Pen S checks the battery remaining capacity. The result is indicated by the Check Pen S LED
or the Receiver LED.
The test switch also can be used as a pairing switch. A long press on the test switch (3 seconds or more) resets
the pairing with the receiver and prevents communication with the registered receiver. When pairing is reset by
mistake, perform the pairing procedure again.

●Battery level notification function

The battery level notification function notifies the battery level status in two stages.
①Notification of low battery level with test switch: It is possible to check the battery level with the test switch.
When the battery is low, the red LED will light for 1 second.
②Battery replacement notice: If the battery level is lower than in ① and the battery needs to be replaced,
the green LED flashing after transmission will change to an orange LED flashing.

When the orange LED blinks, please replace it with a new battery immediately.

When you replace the battery with a new one, the LED on the Check Pen S will return to green from the secondand subsequent transmissions.
For Check Pen S that support the battery level
