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