INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’ TS05 ToolSmart
Infrared Thermometer. Please read this user’s manual carefully and thoroughly
before using the thermometer.
The TS05 is a compact, non-contact (infrared) thermometer (IRT)
with a 12:1 distance-to-spot (D:S) ratio and a wide measurement range of -40°
to 1076°F (-40° to 580°C). Those two key specifications give the instrument
the ability to measure the temperature of very hot or cold surfaces, hard-toreach objects and toxic substances from a safe distance.
The TS05 can operate as a standalone IRT, or with General’s free ToolSmart
app running on your mobile phone. When used in concert with an iPhone®or
™
Android
smartphone, the TS05 can stream–via Bluetooth®–to the phone all
measurements it makes. The phone initiates the data transfer using the
™
ToolSmart
app, which can be downloaded from the iTunes®App Store or
Google Play Store. The measurements can then be used to tag photos taken by
the phone’s camera. For example, the app can apply temperature readings to
icons of door and window frames in a rendering of a room to indicate where
weatherstripping is most needed.
™
™
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The TS05 is a Class 3R laser product that emits less than 3mW of radiation.
Avoid looking directly at the laser pointer. U.S. law prohibits pointing a laser
beam at aircraft; doing so is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 and
imprisonment.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL BATTERY
Open the battery compartment (callout D of Fig. 1) by pulling its cover away
from the grip. Then plug the “9V” battery that comes with the TS05 into the
wired socket inside the compartment. The terminals of the battery and the
socket mate in only one way, with the smaller male terminal plugging into the
larger female terminal. Close the battery compartment by snapping it shut.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To make a quick temperature measurement, squeeze the measurement
trigger on the front of the grip and hold it for at least one second while pointing
the laser at the target. Note that the SCAN icon appears along with the
measured temperature while you are squeezing the trigger. When you release
the trigger, the SCAN icon disappears and is replaced by the HOLD icon. Twenty
seconds later, the LCD backlight dims by 50% to extend battery life. Sixty
seconds after the trigger is released (assuming no front-panel buttons are
pressed), the TS05’s auto power off function kicks in and shuts off the
thermometer to prevent battery discharge.
The TS05 will not make accurate measurements if there is glass or plastic
between the thermometer and the target.
To change the TS05’s measurement unit from degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) to
degrees Celsius (ºC), press the °C/°F button to make the icon °C appear on the
right side of the display. To return to Fahrenheit readings, press the °C/°F
button again.
To turn off the laser pointer, press the button (Fig. 1, Callout F).
USING THE IRT WITH THE ToolSmart™ APP AND AN
APPLE iOS OR ANDROID SMARTPHONE
To stream measurements made by the TS05 to an Apple iOS or Android
smartphone, begin by downloading the free ToolSmart
Store or Google Play Store to your phone.
™
app from the iTunes
Once you have downloaded the app, install it. Then: 1) Press and hold the
button on the IRT to activate Bluetooth transmission for 30 seconds, and
2) Briefly press the button once for each temperature measurement you
wish to send to your smartphone. Each brief press will extend Bluetooth
transmission for another 30 seconds. While Bluetooth transmission is activated,
the icon on the LCD will flash. To deactivate Bluetooth transmission, press
and hold the button.
A tutorial on the app explains how to use it to save TS05 measurements to your
phone and integrate them with data from other ToolSmart
™
products.

MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
After subjecting the IRT to a sudden change in ambient temperature, you must
wait 30 minutes before measurements are within specifications.
The infrared lens on the front of the unit is the TS05’s most sensitive
component. To clean the lens, first use compressed air to blow off loose
particles and then brush any remaining debris away with a camel’s hair brush.
If necessary, carefully wipe the lens with a cotton swab moistened with water.
