Information on infrared (IR) measurement

Measuring method
IR measurement is a visual measurement

• Keep lens clean.
• Do not carry out measurement with a foggy lens.
• Keep the measuring range (the range between the instrument and the measurement object) free of obstacles. There must be no particles of dust or dirt, no humidity (rain,  steam) and no gases.

IR measurement is a surface measurement
If there is dirt, dust, frost, etc. on the surface, only the outermost layer is measured, i.e. the dirt.
For vacuum-packed food, do not measure at air pockets.
Where the values are critical, always measure separately with a contact thermometer. Particularly in the food sector: measure core temperature with a penetration/immersion thermometer.

Adjustment time
If the ambient temperature changes (change of location, e.g. measurement indoors/outdoors), the instrument must be allowed to equalize for 15 minutes for infrared measurement.

Emissivity

Materials have different emission levels. This means they emit various amounts of electromagnetic radiation. The emission level of the instrument has a default setting of 0.95.  This is ideal for the measurement of food, non-metals (paper, ceramic, gypsum, wood, paints and varnishes) and plastics.

Measuring range, distance
Depending on the distance of the measuring instrument from the measurement object, a specific measuring range is recorded.
Measuring lens (ratio of distance: measuring range)
In italics = laser
Not in italics = measuring range

* Optimized measuring distance

Information on contact measurement

Observe the minimum penetration depth for immersion/penetration probes:10x probe diameter
Avoid using in aggressive acids or alkalis.

Bluetooth® pairing

This chapter gives an overview of the public Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) interface of the test 104-IR BT and shows how to test functionalities and readout values with a  generic BLE scanner app. In addition, a list of available services and characteristics with information about the transferred data is included.

For testing the Bluetooth® GATT profile a Bluetooth® scanner app from the Google Play Store can be used, for example, the BLE Scanner app from Bluepixel Technologies  LLP Tools (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.macdom.ble.blescanner). This app scans the services and characteristics from the BLE device.

Scan Devices and Connect

After starting the BLE scanner, all devices in range are detected. The testo 104-IR BT is labeled with the device name and the respective serial number. For connecting the  device, the “connect” button must be pressed.

Services
After connecting, all services available are displayed. To get an overview of the characteristics and their properties and values, click on the service to expand the list.

Read / Notify Characteristics
 Device Information

To read the characteristic’s value, press the blue “R” button, to load the value.

Custom Service

Each characteristic Descriptor (1) (UUID: 0x2901) provides a string to describe what kind of data will be transferred on this characteristic. With the read button (2) the characteristic value will be read out and shown. To activate the notification, click on the “N” button (3). If notifications are enabled the button shows up in green.

Write Emissivity

To write a new emissivity value, press the “W” button on the characteristic, after that a new window pops up. Clicking “OK” sends the value to the device. Emissivity is valid in  a range of 0.1 – 1.0 with either one or two after-point decimals.

BLE Interface Description

For each characteristic in the custom service (00005a903354-11e8-b467-0ed5f89f718b), there is a descriptor (UUID: 0x2901) which provides a string with information about the data in this characteristic.
