7.1 Bluetooth
TM
configuration
The Ex-MX4 BT allows data transfer via BluetoothTM.
System requirements:
- Windows-compatible computer (operating systems 98, ME, 2000, XP or higher).
- Bluetooth system completely installed on the computer (not included in the scope of
supply).
- Configuration software BlueTool (included in the supplied CD).
After installing the Bluetooth system on the computer, the thermometer can be ope-
rated in different modes (for the description of modes, refer to 8.7 Setup).
Please refer to the PDF files in the Bluetooth_Modul and BlueTool folders in the supplied CD for information regarding the configuration of the LinTech Bluetooth module.
8. Functional description / operating instructions
Please take the time to read through this operating manual carefully to ensure that you
are familiar with and can use all the functions of your Ex-MX4 BT. Please go through
the instructions on the following pages for your own safety and information!
8.1 Operation
All objects with a temperature above absolute zero radiate infrared energy that spreads
in all directions at the speed of light. If an infrared thermometer is aimed at a measurement object, the lens gathers the energy and focuses it on an infrared sensor.
The sensor reacts by generating a voltage signal that is directly proportional to the
absorbed energy. The microprocessor-controlled electronic unit of the device can
determine and display the current temperature using additional parameters. Measurement objects with a shiny or polished surface not only radiate energy, but also reflect a
part of the radiation from their surroundings.
An emissivity factor between 0.1 and 1.5 takes account of this fact so that only the
actually radiated (and not the reflected) energy is included in the calculation of the
measured value. The majority of applications are measured with an emissivity of 0.95.
It is therefore preset to 0.95 in our device and can be adjusted in steps of 0.01 depending on the application. Emissivity range over 1.00 is intended for applications, where
adjacent measurement objects having different temperatures are to be measured. For
example, this is the case if there are two conveying lines with different temperatures
and the temperature of ‚the colder one‘ is to be measured. The radiated reflected
energy would thereby falsify the measurement and hence a correct result would be
impossible. The temperature can now also be measured accurately using the emissivity setting > 1.00 by way of a one-time reference measurement using a contact thermometer.
30
8.2 Measuring marking
Keep in mind that the measured part
of the object surface (3 point measuring
spot marking) changes with the increasing measuring distance as shown
in the figure. The ratio between the
measuring distance and measuring
spot diameter isapproximately 60: 1 at
the focus point and approximately 35:1
in the distant field (> 10 m). To take continuous readings, set the LOCK switch in the
battery compartment to „On“ and press the measurement button (the laser does not
remain on continuously). Reset the LOCK switch to „Off“ for the normal operation.
The laser sight makes sighting a measurement object easier. Laser points indicate the
exact diameter of the measuring spot. You can use the LASER function key for switching
the laser on and off by keeping the measurement button pressed. The laser icon (refer
to 8.5 Display screen) indicates the switched-on laser.
8.3 Measurement
Aim at the object to be measured and press the measurement button. The measured
temperature is shown in the display. It is visible in the display for seven seconds after
releasing the measurement button. If another button is not pressed, the device switches
off automatically after this time. Selected functions remain set and the function selection
menu returns to the initial position. To recall the last measured value, press ENTER
without pressing the measurement button.

the „User-defined configuration“ section for this purpose.
8.7.2 Master mode (active mode/Bluetooth™)
After switching on, the thermometer is automatically connected to the computer, the
address of which has been programmed in the thermometer. This takes place using
the supplied BlueTool software (refer to the „User-defined configuration“ section for
this purpose). The active mode is especially suitable for the intermittent operation of
the infrared thermometer. Energy consumption of the thermometer is considerably less
than that in the passive mode.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the handle of the thermometer and set the DIL switch 9 to ON (Master).
2. Switch on the thermometer using the measurement button.
3. Press the Setup key, the following scrolling message appears on the display -
“Bluetooth on-up, off-down“.
Activate Bluetooth™ by pressing the Up key below the display. A blinking icon in the
display indicates the stand-by mode of the Bluetooth module - the lock icon indicates
continuous operation.
33
The thermometer starts searching for the corresponding computer. When the connection is established, a green LED above the display illuminates and the colour of
the Bluetooth™ icon on the connected computer changes. You can now transfer the
data to the application software of the thermometer. If the measurement button is not
pressed and data is not transferred, the thermometer switches off automatically after
approximately 7 seconds.
8.7.3 User-defined configuration (Bluetooth™)
Proceed as follows:
Open the handle of the thermometer and set the DIL switch 5 to ON (Set default).
Does „Default“ appear in the display? The DIL switch 9 must be set to OFF (slave) at

always requested for encrypted transfer
and for connections using the BlueTool
software. Select SPP as the ComHardware
mode and deactivate the connection
indicator. Confirm the settings with OK.
Now open „Master settings“.
Select the checkboxes in front of “Master tries to establish a connection automatically“ and “Master
tries to establish a connection while starting“. The
Remote BTA field contains the address of the
current computer.
Note: Only if you wish that the thermometer should
respond to another computer (e.g. PDA or Notebook)
later, enter the Bluetooth address of this computer.
The same naturally applies to the PIN in this window.
It is then mandatory to connect to the other computer.
Therefore, please remember it well. Click OK. First click „Save settings“ in the main
window - the data is transferred to the thermometer.
You can verify the current settings with „Update“. Then exit the program. Now reset the
DIL switch 5 in the handle of the thermometer to OFF. Press the DOWN key below the
display. Wait till the device switches off automatically (approximately 7 s).

9. Emissivity
Most organic materials as well as lacquered and oxidised surfaces have an emissivity
of 0.95. The emissivity is preset to 0.95 in the Ex-MX4 BT for this reason, but can be
changed using the rocker switch.
The determination of the temperatures of shiny or highly polished metal surfaces results in inaccurate measured values. To compensate for this, the surface to be measured can be covered with adhesive tape or painted matt black. Wait until the adhesive
tape attains the same temperature as the material underneath it. Then determine the
temperature of the adhesive tape (corresponds to the material) or the painted surface.
