BATTERIES

To open the battery
compartment, press
gently on the top part of
the handle (1) to release
the catch (2) and pivot
the grip as shown in the
figure.
Orient the batteries (two
alkaline R6 (AA, UM3))
as shown on the housing.

MEASUREMENT

QUICK START

To take a temperature
measurement, hold the
unit as shown. Aim at the
target. Pull the trigger (F).
The temperature of the
object being measured is
shown on the display (B).
The temperature will be
displayed for seven
seconds after the trigger

is released.
The unit automatically switches “off” after
7 seconds if a function key is not pressed.
The last settings are stored. The display
returns to the last mode selected.
To recall the last reading, press ENTER
without pulling the trigger.

MEASUREMENT

CONTINUOUS

Open the battery compart­ment and switch LOCK
"on" to lock the unit on.
You may mount the unit on
a tripod, using the tripod
mount. Pull the trigger for
continuous temperature
measurement. (The laser
will not be locked on.)
To unlock, switch LOCK
off.

The measured spot size depends on the distance
between the object you are measuring and the infrared
thermometer. The relationship between distance and
spot size is 60:1 at the focus point. The D:S in the far
field (>33ft/10m) is 35:1.

The amount of infrared
energy radiated by an
object depends on its
emissivity and its
temperature.
The emissivity depends on
the material and its surface
characteristics. For more
accurate readings, adjust
the emissivity value for
the type of material being
measured.

EMISSIVITY

between the object you are measuring and the infrared
thermometer. The relationship between distance and
spot size is 50:1 at the focus point. The D:S in the far
field is 12:1.
The best distance between sensor and object is from
10 cm (4“) up to 50 cm (20“).

This infrared thermometer allows wireless data transfer with the aid of Bluetooth technology.

System requirements:

- Windows-compatible computer (operating system 98, ME, 2000, XP or higher)

- Bluetooth system fully installed on the computer (not included)

- BlueTool configuration software (included)
After the Bluetooth system has been installed as required on the computer, the thermometer can be operated in two
different modes:

1. Passive mode

In this mode, the thermometer is constantly activated
and is searched for by the computer. This is advan­tageous when continuous temperature monitoring
should take place.

Attention: As a result of continuous operation, the thermometer‘s
batteries are discharged much faster then during intermittent use.

Proceed as follows:

1. Switch on the thermo­meter with the measurement
button.

2. Press the Setup
button on the display.
The words “Bluetooth on-up,
off-down“ appear. Activate
Bluetooth with the Up button
below the display. A lightning
symbol in the display
indicates that the Bluetooth
module is ready

- the lock symbol signals continuous operation.

Note: If the automatic battery test finds that the battery is too weak
here (display: “LowBat - no BT“), the Bluetooth application is not
started.

* Please refer to the LinTech specifications overview for the exact specification of the Bluetooth module used.

3. Now start the Bluetooth software on your computer
and allow it to search for and
connect the Bluetooth devices.

(Please refer to the relevant operating
instructions for how this happens in the
case of your Bluetooth application)

4. The thermometer is reco-

gnized as “IR Therm....“. The

requested PIN is “1234“ when
the unit is delivered. With the
right mouse button, click on the
symbol for the device and select
“Eigenschaften/Properties“ in
the submenu. Make a note of
the ComPort‘s number. The
green LED on the left above the
thermometer‘s display signals
the existing connection.

5. If you have not already done
so, now start the relevant
application software for the
thermometer. Before you can exchange data between
the thermometer and computer, you must set in this
software the number of the ComPort found under Point 4.

6. Press the Setup button
and then the Down button
below the display to end the
Bluetooth connection.

If data is being
transferred at this time,
you cannot deactivate
the Bluetooth module.

Important note: The above refers to the thermo

­meter as delivered. It can be programmed on a
user-defined basis with the aid of the “BlueTool“
software. For details, see the section “User-defined
configuration“.

2. Active mode

After switching on, the thermometer automatically
establishes contact with the computer, the address of
which has been programmed for the thermometer.
This is done by the supplied BlueTool software

details, see the section “User-defined configu­ration“). The active mode is particularly suitable for

intermittent operation of the infrared thermometer. The
thermometer‘s power consumption is significantly less
than in passive mode.

Making contact with the computer and
data transfer

Open the thermometer‘s handle and switch the DIL
switch 9 to ON (Master). Switch on the thermometer
with the measurement button.

(for

In the display, a framed lightning
symbol points to the Bluetooth
module in active mode and the
thermometer starts to search
for the associated computer.
When the connection has been
made, a green LED lights up
on the left above the display
and the color of the Bluetooth symbol changes on the
connected computer. You can now transfer data to the
thermometer‘s user software.
The thermometer automatically switches itself off after
approximately 7 seconds if the measurement button is
not pressed and if there is no data transfer.

3. User-defined configuration

Preparing the thermometer

Open the device‘s handle and set the DIL switch 5 to
ON (Set Default). “Default ?“
appears in the display. At this
point in time, it is essential
for the DIL switch 9 to be set
to OFF (Slave). Now start the
Bluetooth module as descri­bed under “Passive mode“.

Programming the thermo­meter with the aid of
BlueTool

Start the Bluetooth software
on your computer and start
the device search. Make the
connection by double clicking on the symbol for the
in-frared thermometer (signaling by the green LED on
the left above the display and the color of the Bluetooth
symbol changes on the computer). The properties can
be displayed by right-clicking on the service under

Serial Ports. Note the number of the
connected ComPort.
Now start the BlueTool
application, enter the
ComPort number just
found and then click on
Connect.
A configuration window
opens.

It shows various details of

the device and several fields for calling up additional setting
possibilities.
First open ”Device settings“.

Here you can give the thermometer a name and change
the PIN.
Attention: Be sure to make a note of this PIN, because
you will be asked to provide it for encrypted transmissions
and connections with the aid of the BlueTool software. SPP
must be selected as the ComHardware mode and the con­nection indicator must be deactivated. Confirm the settings
with OK. Now open ”Master settings“.

Here, place a tick in front
of both “Master - automa­tic connection attempt“
and “Master attempts to
establish connection when
starting“. The address of the
current computer is in the
Remote BTA field

Note: Only if you wish to address another computer
(e.g. PDA or notebook) with the thermometer later must
you enter the Bluetooth address of the other computer
here. The same applies to the PIN in this window. It is
then binding for the connection with the other computer.

It is therefore essential to note it.

Click on OK. In the main window, first
settings“ - the data is transferred to the thermometer.

With “Update“, you can call up the current settings to
check them.

Then end the program. Now switch the DIL switch 5 in
the thermometer‘s handle back to OFF. Press the DOWN
button under the display. Now wait until the device
switches itself off automatically (approximately 7 s).

click on “Save
