Bluetooth radio strength
*Note – As with any radio technology,
when you start to add obstructions
between the transmitter and the receiver,
the ultimate range may decrease as
different objects interfere with the radio
signal in different ways. The more
obstructions you add between the phone
and the ManTooth, the weaker the signal
may become after it has passed through or
around the obstacles. This could ultimately
lead to a shorter maximum range. The
ManTooth utilizes the highest Bluetooth
radio transmitter signal strength available
to ensure the best possible range of your
ManTooth, however, each situation will be
slightly different depending on the
environment/ surroundings within you are
working.

pipes ranging in size from ¼ inch to 1 ⅜ inches. The
probe is capable of measuring with an accuracy of
0.2°C from 0°C to 70°C with a full range of -40°C to
130°C. For best long term stability of your
thermistor pipe clamp probe avoid storing it at
temperatures exceeding 75°C (167°F).

Q: What should I do when I lose the connection to
my ManTooth Module during a session?
A: The ManTooth-V™ and ManTooth-PTV™ Modules
have a “Self-Healing” feature. If the Bluetooth
connection is lost during a session, the app will
attempt to re-connect to the ManTooth Module and
maintain the session data log. Once the connection is
lost, a dialog box will appear on your phone or tablet.
If this occurs, move back towards the ManTooth
Module(s) until they have reconnected. Once the
connection has been re-established, the data logging
will resume and the session will continue until it is
saved or discarded.
Q: Why am I losing my Bluetooth connection when I
am within 400’ of the ManTooth Module?

restrict the range of Bluetooth connections to
external devices like the ManTooth.
with the vacuum gauge. To add vacuum capabilities,
you will have to purchase a ManTooth-V™ or
ManTooth-PTV™ Module. **Note** The 67030
replacement vacuum gauge cannot be used with the
67001/67002/67003 ManTooth PT Modules.

Q: What happens to my service history if I get a new
phone or tablet?
A: The Service History is saved to your phone or
tablet within the app data. If you want to use the
Page 22
ManTooth RSA App on a new device, the Service
History will start over on the new device. For this
reason, it is recommended to regularly back-up your
service history by emailing the data.
Q: What can I do if my ManTooth Module(s) will not
attach to the system service ports?
A: The ManTooth Module(s) and corresponding
vacuum gauge come with ¼” flare fittings, which are
compatible with most systems. However, if you are
