Data Handler

The Data Handler is a portable hand held unit specifically designed to support customers looking for a low-cost, entry-level transition into the future use of Tru-Test’s Electronic Milk Meter system.

The Data Handler is used in conjunction with traditional Mechanical Milk Meters on herd test day. All herd information can be uploaded to the Data Handler prior to a herd test. During milking, the cow number, milk volume and sample number can be electronically entered. At the end of the herd test, all the milking data is downloaded to a PC and can be remotely sent back to your herd test centre.

The Data Handler Hand Held unit is the first step into the world of Tru-Test’s Electronic Milk Meter system.

Data Handler Charger

•	Convenient. Charging rack can be wall mounted.
•	Easy monitoring. The charge percentage is displayed on the Data Handler allowing easy monitoring of the charge level.
•	Data Handler controls the rate of charging. The battery will normally be fully charged from flat in less than 10 hours. Charging at low or high temperatures will extend the charging time. At extreme temperatures, the Data Handler will indicate that the temperature is too high or too low for charging. The Data Handler can safely be left on charge for extended periods.

•	Format. Tags come with a variety of data formats. The Tru-Test EMM may need to be configured for a particular format.
