About the NeoSpectra Scanner

NeoSpectra Scanner is a portable device that can be used in a wide variety of material

identification applications. It shines infrared light that interacts with the sample to be

measured, collects its diffuse reflectance, and generates NIR spectra that corresponds to a

unique spectral response of the material in the spectral range (1,350 - 2,500 nm). The

Scanner enables the development of in-field material analysis applications in various

industries.

1 Main Case Components

A. NeoSpectra Scanner: The main spectra collection device (Figure 1).

B. Scanner Cover: A protective cover for the optical window that should be placed on

top of the Scanner when it is not being used. The cover attaches to the Scanner

easily via magnets. The cover also includes a small white box containing a reference

material for calibration measurements. To avoid losing the cover, make sure to use

the lanyard to attach the cover to the Scanner.

C. Scanner Sample Holder: A holder for samples like soil, feed, powders, etc, Most

times the Scanner will be used without the sample holder. It is magnetically attached

to the Scanner cover and needs to be detached from it when used (Figure 2). The

sample holder can be magnetically attached and aligned on the Scanner top surface

to hold the sample during scanning.

D. Scanner power adapter: An AC/DC adapter dedicated for use with the Scanner via

a USB connection. It also comes with a power plug converter for users located in the

USA. Refer to Section 3 for more details about the adapter usage.

2.3 Scanner Screen Panel

The four main areas of the Scanner screen are shown in Figure 5: Stored Scans, Battery

Status, BLE (Bluetooth) Status, and Messages.

2.3.1 Stored Scans

When the scanner is not connected to an app, the spectral data are stored in the Scanner’s

local memory. The memory can store up to 999 spectra. The number shown on the screen

indicates the number of stored spectra in the scanner.

2.3.2 Battery Status

The remaining battery capacity is shown as well as an indication of whether the charger is

connected as illustrated in Figures 6a and 6b.

2.3.3 Bluetooth Status

The state of Bluetooth connectivity between the device and the Scan application software is

displayed. It is either “Ready to Connect”, “Connected”, or “Disconnected” (Figures 7a, 7b,

7c respectively). The details of the states are described in Section 5.3.

Figure 7a, 7b, 7c: BLE status area during different connection states

The Neo-Spectra is an intentional radiator, using wireless data transmission:

•Frequency band: 2400-2483.5 MHz

•Max Power EIRP: 10.95 dBm (12.45mW)

2.3.4 Messages

The messages area is an interactive display of measurement progress and status. It shows

whether the scan being taken is a white reference scan (Figure 8a) or a material scan (8b)

and it also shows a progress bar for the scanning process. It also indicates when the scan

has completed successfully (Figure 8c) or if there was an error with the last scan (Figure 8d).

A detailed list of error messages is shown in Section 7.

3 Powering the Scanner

3.1 Charger / Battery Powered Operation

NeoSpectra Scanner is powered by two replaceable 18650 batteries with 3400 mAh nominal

capacity. The batteries are readily installed in the device for out-of-the-box operation. The

Scanner also comes with a 15 V/2.4 A AC/DC adapter capable of powering the Scanner to

charge and scan simultaneously, irrespective of the battery status.

The specifications of the cable are summarized in Table 1:

You can expect than charging speed will be slower if an off-the-shelf standard 5 V USB

charger is used. In addition, performing measurements will only be possible if the battery is

sufficiently charged.

3.2 Battery Replacement

Follow these steps to replace the battery0F

•Unscrewing the four screws in the battery cover at the bottom of the Scanner (See

Figure 9.)

•Prepare two identical batteries (Type Flat top Panasonics 18650B, preferably fully

charged)

•Insert batteries in the compartment, and make sure that the “-“ side of the battery are

placed at the terminal with a spring.

•Press the two batteries insider the Scanner

•Turn on the scanner.

Notes:

•In case batteries are not charged, the Scanner may not be able to boot. Please

connect the charger, and wait until the Scanner is charged.

1Risk of explosion if battery if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose off used batteries

according to battery manufacturer’s instructions

4 Sample Interface

The Scanner’s design allows for multiple ways to interface with a sample. The Scanner can

be used in a point and shoot mode, sample can be placed on top of the Scanner, or Scanner

can be placed on the top of the sample. The different sample interfaces are illustrated in

Figures 11 and 12. Important: in all cases, the user must ensure that the sample is in

contact with the Scanner window.

4.1 Point & Shoot

●Hold Scanner in hand.

●Point and scan while ensuring that the Scanner window is pressed against the sample.

4.2 Sample on top of Scanner

•Place scanner on a flat surface, with the optical window facing up

•If sample is a large solid item, place it on top the Scanner and make sure it is

centered with the optical window

•If the sample is a powder, grain, or loose product, a sample container will be

required. In these cases, please contact support@si-ware.com to discuss appropriate

container options and sample setup for successful scanning.

4.3 Scanner on top of sample

●Place the sample on a flat surface.

●Set the Scanner on top of the sample and scan.

5 Scanner Power & Connection States

The Scanner has five main states that depend: Power Off, Ready to Connect, Connected,

and Disconnected. Description of each stated is detailed below:

1. Power Off: A long press on the power button turns off the Scanner. It’s

recommended to keep the device in this state when not in use to conserve battery.

2. Ready to Connect:This is the initial state when the scanner is turned on. When in

this state, the Scanner will be discoverable by external mobile devices nearby to

make a Bluetooth connection. The Scanner stays in this state for two minutes and

then automatically moves to the “Disconnected” state if no connection is established

with an external mobile device. To return to “ready to connect” state, press the Power

button briefly.

3. Connected: This is the main state during the Bluetooth-connected operation mode.

In this state, the Scanner is turned on and connected to a mobile device via

Bluetooth. It is ready to take scans either using the mobile application or the Scan

button on the Scanner.
