Operating Instructions

INSTRUMENT OPERATION - Connect the
probe(s) via the miniature thermocouple
socket(s) located on the end of the
instrument. Apply the tip of the probe to
the substance, medium or surface to be
measured. The instrument reading may
take several seconds to stabilise, depending
on the nature of the measurement and
sensitivity of the probe.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS

Transfer/On-Off button
ON - Press to turn the instrument on.
OFF - Hold down for 3 seconds to

instruments display and status LED.
SENSORS - Only use type K (Nickel
Chromium/Nickel Aluminium) thermocouple

probes (to BS EN 60584-1:2013) tted with

suitable miniature type K thermocouple plugs.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS - The
instrument measures its inputs at a set
measurement interval and displays the value

in ºC or ºF. If Sensor 2 is switched on, the

display will alternate between the two sensor
readings every 5 seconds with 'Sen 1' & 'Sen 2'
indicating which sensor reading is currently
being displayed.
CONNECTION - Use a Bluetooth® Low Energy
'Smart or Smart Ready' iOS or AndroidTM
host device with the ThermaQ App installed
to make connections to the instrument.
The ThermaQ app can be downloaded free
from the App Store (Apple devices) or on
Google PlayTM (Android devices). For full
device compatibility visit etiltd.com. Open
the ThermaQ App and connect to the device
via the Devices screen, use the instrument’s
serial number to select the correct device
from the list. Once connected the ThermaQ
App will begin receiving and storing
measurement data.
Please note: When not connected the
instrument continues to measure using its
current settings but no readings are stored in
the instrument.

SETTINGS - Adjustable via the ThermaQ

App include: °C or °F, Measurement Interval,

Auto-off Interval, Sensor Name(s) and High/
Low Alarm levels. Sensor 2 can be set on/
off. All settings are stored in the instrument
and are downloaded to the ThermaQ App on
connection.
AUTO-OFF - If the instrument is not
connected to Bluetooth within the set Auto­off interval, it will shut down. This function
can be switched off via the ThermaQ App.

ALARM STATUS LED - A red ash indicates

a temperature is in an alarm condition and

a green ash indicates the temperatures are
within the set alarm levels. The LED ashes

every measurement whether connected via
Bluetooth or not.
OPEN CIRCUIT/FAULTY PROBE - If the probe
has developed an 'open circuit' fault or is not
present the instrument will display 'Err'.
BONDING - This instrument does not need
to be paired/bonded to your host device.
Pairing/Bonding may cause connection
issues within Apps. If you encounter
connection problems please clear bonding as
described below.
Clear Bonding - start with the instrument
switched off, press and hold down the
Transfer button for approximately 5 seconds
until the display shows 'clr bond'.
BATTERY STATUS - This is indicated by the
ThermaQ App and the instrument’s display
using the battery symbol. When the battery
level falls below a safe level the instrument
displays 'Flat bat' before shutting down.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT - Unscrew the 4
screws located on the back of the instrument

and remove rear case. This can be difcult

especially after a long period but if done
gradually at each corner the case will come
apart. Replace the AA battery noting polarity.

Ret rear case and ret screws taking care

not trap/pinch the seal. Tighten the screws
evenly but do not overtighten as this will
affect the instrument water resistance.
WARNING: IPA and other solvents may
cause damage to the case and screen of this
instrument.
