Operation 

IMPORTANT! If the device is taken to a room with a significantly different ambient 
temperature, an acclimatization period of 1-2 hours is required. 

Before You Begin 

The TecPen can be charged with any 5V USB cable and adapter. Full charging takes place in under 2 
hours.  

If the device is taken to a room with a significantly different ambient temperature, an acclimatization 
period of 1-2 hours is required.  

Before taking a measurement a filter should be attached to the TecPen to prevent contamination of the 
gas chamber. To do this, place the tubing on the gas inlet’s male Luer lock fitting (8) and fasten the filter 
to the other end. Attach the sampling needle to the front of the filter. 

Note: All connections are made with Luer lock fittings. These must be securely engaged for proper 
installation and seal. 

Turning the TecPen On 

Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the unit. The TecPen shows the battery status and a value of 
*****. This is a placeholder and not an actual measurement result. 

1. After turning it on let the TecPen warm up for 2 minutes to insure accuracy.

2. The TecPen can only be switched on when it is not connected to the charging cable.

3. If no buttons are pressed within five minutes, the TecPen will switch itself off. The

unit can also be switched off by pressing the ON/OFF button for at least two
seconds.

Taking a Measurement 

The sampling needle is used to puncture the packaging to be measured. After inserting the sampling 
needle briefly press the START button

 

to take a measurement. The pump will draw a sample until it 

reads the lowest stable group of measurements. If it cannot read a stable measurement the pump will 
automatically shut off after 10 seconds. To try another measurement press the START button again. 

Saving a Measurement 

Press the SAVE

 

button. The measured value currently on the display is saved in the TecPen's 

internal memory. 

Turning the TecPen Off 

Switch the unit off by pressing the ON/OFF button for at least two seconds.
