Setup Tru-Test S3 Weigh Scale (app)

The Tru-Test S3 is a bluetooth low energy (BLE) Weight Scale device, that can output weight data to the StockMate App on Android Devices. As the S3 can send weight only, a separate device will be required for sending EID information to StockMate. Refer to the Hardware Connections Overview (app) for further information.

Info
Before use, check that the Weigh Scale indicator has the latest firmware installed. Contact the manufacturer for detail.
