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
™
app from the iTunes
Store or Google Play Store to your phone.
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.
