6. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes

• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of chil- dren.

• Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/ rechargeable batteries (observe plus/+ and minus/-).

• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin on contact; therefore, use suitable protective gloves. 35• Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batteries are chem- ically highly aggressive. Objects or surfaces that come into contact with them may take severe damage. Therefore, keep batteries/rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.

• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short- circuited,disassembledorthrownintore.Thereisadanger of explosion!

• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a danger of explosion! Only charge rechargeable batteries which are intended for this purpose; use a suitable battery charger.

• If not used for a longer period (e.g. in case of storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable batteries. There is a danger of old batteries/rechargeable batteries leaking, which causes damage to the product, loss of warranty/guarantee!

• Always replace the entire set of batteries/rechargeable batter- ies, only use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type and by the same manufacturer with the same charge status (do not mix charged with partially charged or empty batteries/ rechargeable batteries).

• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries. Use either bat- teries or rechargeable batteries.

• For proper disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries, please read the chapter "Disposal".

• It is possible to operate the thermo logger with rechargeable batteries. However, the lower voltage (battery = 1.5 V, recharge- able battery = 1.2 V) causes the operating duration and display contrast to reduce strongly.

• We therefore recommend not operating the product with re- chargeable batteries, but only with high-quality alkaline batter- ies to warrant long and secure function.

• Insert two type AA/mignon batteries with correct polarity into the battery compartment (observe plus/+ and minus/-), see notes in the battery compartment.

• Put the battery back on the compartment lid and let the closure mechanism latch. The thermo logger is now ready for operation.

• The batteries require changing when the display contrast is very weak or the device can no longer be switched on

a) Switching On/Off The product has no on/off switch of its own. The device is switched on ready for operation when you insert the batteries into the prod- uct. If you want to cease operation of the device for a longer period of time, remove the batteries from the battery compartment. b) Item no. 1486096: Performing measurement via the temperature sensor The water-tight temperature sensor of the thermo logger with item no. 1486096 is very well suitable for temperature measurements of the air or in acid-free liquids (e.g. water). The sensor can be at- tached in any measuring location within the temperature range of the measuring sensor (-50 °C to 70 °C) by suction cup. 38The temperature sensor must be plugged into the left side of the thermologgerforthemeasurement(gure1,item2).Atempera- ture measurement requires a few seconds time to measure until the measured value has stabilised and the temperature display has stopped changing or changing essentially. Measuring at high temperatures also poses a high risk of burns. Therefore, use suitable protection equipment (e.g. temperature-resilient gloves. Whenmeasuringoutsideofthespecicationsofthedevic

es, the display and/or app may no longer show any value at all (depending on how far the range is exceeded). c) Item no. 1486097: Performing measurement via the temperature sensor The insertion temperature sensor of the thermo logger with item no. 1486097 is very well suitable for temperature measurements in material to be measured, such as water or foods. The sensor must be held by the rubberised part of the insertion sensors during the measurementtoavoidinuencesonthemeasuringresults.The insertion temperature sensor must be submersed or inserted into the materials to be measured for this. The material to be measured must be within the temperature range of the measuring sensor (-40 °C to 300 °C). The temperature sensor must be plugged into the left side of the thermologgerforthemeasurement(gure1,item2).Atempera- ture measurement requires a few seconds time to measure until the measured value has stabilised and the temperature display has stopped changing or changing essentially. Measuring at high temperatures also poses a high risk of burns. Therefore, use suitable protection equipment (e.g. temperature-resilient gloves. 39 Whenmeasuringoutsideofthespecicationsofthede- vices, the display and/or app may no longer show any value at all (depending on how far the range is exceeded). d) Handling the Device The delivery includes a suction cup. It can be installed on the rear oftheproductinthecorrespondingcut-outofthehousing(gure1, item 7). Alternatively, a screw hooked in there with a matching screw head (not enclosed) may also serve as a holder, e.g. to at- tach the device to a wall. The rear of the device has magnets in the upper area and addition- ally on the battery compartment lid. You may attach the device to, e.g., a metal object this way. If you simply want to put the device onto a table, fold out the stand (seegure1,item8).

10. Measurement by App and Mobile End

Device The following illustrations for the individual functions of the app are shown in English. Depending on the chosen language of the app (e.g. German), these notes are also displayed in the chosen language (i.e. also in German). The respective meaning of the notes/texts may, however, deviate slightly in use of language due to the translation. The respective handling is, however, described in detail in the individual chapters. The app can display the display content in several lan- guages. In exceptions, it is possible that the display can not or not fully display some words due to limited numbers of characters in some locations. 40Sometimes, the words are also displayed limited or com- pleted only due to the display type of the mobile end device (display in portrait or landscape format). There also are slight deviations in individual illustrations (design) between the "iOS-app" and the "Android-app". The gures shown in these operating instructions have been generated for the Android operating system. Generally, software is changing continually and can change visually due to updates. The respective handling is not affected, however. a) Installing the App A special app can be used to display the measured results on your tablet or smartphone. There are suitable apps available for this for devices with the operating system "iOS" (Apple products, as of ver- sion 7.1) and the operating system "Android" (as of version 4.3). The app can be installed in different languages. Connect your mobile end device (tablet or smartphone) to the internet andnd the app "BTLogger" (see gure 3) in the "App Shops"matchingyouroperatingsystem(seegure2).Installthe app on your device. The app is free of charge. At most, the costs that would usually arise for downloading an app will arise. Figure 2 Figure 3 Getting started 1 Install battery:

The app "BTLogger" permits simple display of the measured tem- perature on a mobile end device, long-term measurement includ- ing various monitoring functions and data recording of the meas- ured values. In order to connect the thermo logger to a mobile end device, proceed as follows:

• Switch on your mobile end device (tablet or smartphone) and activate the function "Bluetooth

" on that device (see "Settings" in your mobile end device).

• Tap the app "BTLogger" on your mobile end device to activate it.

• Switch on the thermo logger.

• In the display of the mobile end device, select "Couple new device".

connection has been es- tablished, this will be displayed by a brief double sound signal at the thermo logger as well as the display of the connected device in the app (device type and temperature display). If you now select the newly coupled device on the display, the app willswitchtoanewscreen(alsoseegure5).Regardingthis, observe the following notes in this chapter. If the connection by Bluetooth

is not established, this may be due to devices that are located in direct prox- imity of your devices and also broadcasting using Blue- tooth

or other devices (such as a router) may act as an interfering signal. In this case, go elsewhere and start coupling of the two devices again. It may also be helpful to remove the battery from the thermo logger for approx. 30 seconds here (reset) or to push the "Reset button" on therearofthehousing(gure1,item3). 42The Bluetooth

connection is retained until the devices are either out of range (range max. 30 metres in the free eld;muchlessinsidebuildings),theBluetooth

function and/or the app in your mobile end device is switched off or the thermo logger is deleted from the directory of the app. When the Bluetooth

connection is interrupted, the app will no longer show any measured values. The symbol for Bluetooth

in the thermo logger display is no longer lit either. If the devices come back into range or the app is started again (the devices must be in range of each other for this), the Bluetooth

connection will be auto- matically re-established

Figure 4 43c) Basic Settings The device that has just been newly coupled with the app (thermo logger) is now indicated in the app under "connected device". The display for the device is a type designation that can be changed individually as follows:

• Select the gear at the upper right of the display. New display content is displayed.

• Briey tap the type designation of the coupled device. The keyboard is displayed. Now you can assign a new name (e.g. Logger 1) to the coupled device. Save your input with "done".

• To delete a coupled device, tap the gear at the upper right of the display of the app again and select "edit". Now "delete" is displayed in the Android app. In the iOS-app, a minus symbol (-) is shown in front of the device. It must be used to delete it. If a device is removed from the app (deleted), all previous recordings of the device are deleted as well. In order to avoid deletion of these data, they should be secured on the mobile device or any other storage medium.

11. Further Setting Options of the App

a) Specifying Values for Measurements Once you select the newly coupled device on the display of the mobile end device, the app switches to new screen content. You will be informed by display that you need to specify parameters. When you select "Setting", the app will switch to the setting screen (gure5). 44Whenrstsettingupmeasuringparameters,youwillbe sent directly to the setup page. If any settings have been made there already, you can choose between "back" or settings. If you have already entered anything, "back" will be displayed as well. If you select "back", you will be right in the display menu, where you can start a measure- ment. In this display, you can see the name of the device at the upper left (e.g. Logger 1). In the upper right, there is the button "done", which canbeusedtoconrmthesettingsandcompletethem. The button "Start" is in the lower right. Tapping this symbol will start measurementwithrecording.Theparametersforthisarespecied rstasdescribedinthefollowingchapters.Somealarmmessages are output as well. Warning signals will sound during this at the thermo logger as well as the mobile end device. The mobile end device will also display a warning message that indicates the re- sult. If you tap "OK" in this display, the alarm will be interrupted. Alternatively, you can stop the alarm by keeping the Bluetooth

button pushed for a few seconds. BTL_94A4 Figure 5 45b) Temperature alarm In "Temperature alarm", you can set the limits ("Maximum" and "Minimum") that will trip an alarm later during the measurement. The range can be set according to the measurement range of the respective device. When making the setting, observe that the high- er value under "Maximum" is complied with. You can also select the measuring unit "degrees Celsius" (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). Conrm your settings with "done". The display will switch backtothesettingscreen(gure5). During the later measurement, the value "Maximum" will be dis- played with a red line in the graphical display. The value "Mini- mum" is displayed with a blue line. When a set limit is exceeded or undercut, the thermo logger as well as the mobile end device will issue a warning signal. The mobile end device will additionally show a display for the event. The individual measuring results are displayed as a line in a selected time line. The current temperature is displayed in the upper area of the dis- play on the mobile end device. While a measurement is started, this display can show the average temperature when scrolling to the left, and the lowest and highest temperatures when scrolling to the right

c) Test range This function cannot be selected in the present devices and shows only the measuring size ("Temp" = Temperature) for a long-term measurement. d) Testing the interval settings In this function, you can activate up to three measurement ranges that can be viewed in the function displayed below "Section / test range" and also set individually. If you select "1", you can set a temperature range with a scan rate. If you select "2" or "3", you can activate one to three measurement ranges with different values. 46Conrmyourinputwith"done".Alsoobservetheinformationinthe following chapters on this. e) Section / test range In "Section", specify the measuring set- tings that you desire for recording of the measurement. Now tap the temperature values displayed at the left of the display under "Section". A new window is opened. Set the upper val- ue (maximum; e.g. 22 for the temperature) and the lower value (minimum; e.g. 20 for thetemperature).Conrmthesetvalues with "done" – just like all following settings. The graphical illustration then shows the limits (22 and 20) as lines to make the actual measured values and the reading dropping below or rising above them better visible. Additionally select a scan rate in "Test range" that controls the frequency of the measured value recording (e.g. 1 minute = one measured value is saved every minute). The values named as examples here will save your recording at a scan rate (repetition of saving of a measured value) of one minute (= 60 measured values per hour). You can select the number (max. three) of the adjustable "Sec- tions" under "Testing the interval settings". Here, you can set dif- ferent scan rates for the measured values for up to three different temperature ranges. The lower the interval under "Test range" is set, the more often will the measured temperature be updated and saved. Figure 6 47Example: If you set a temperature of 20 ° to 22 ° and a scan rate of one minuteintherst"Section",themeasuredtemperaturevalueis saved in a table every minute with the value measured at that time, independently of the set temperature range of 20 ° to 22 °. This is done at this rhythm until the measured value recording is stopped. The set temperature values (here: 20 ° to 22 °) have purely statisti- cal value in this case. If only one "Section" is set up as "Temp", the set scan rate will not change when the temperature section (here: 20 ° to 22 °) is exceeded or undercut, and, e.g. (here: one minute) remain at one minute. Now additionally generate a second section, e.g. with the tem

perature range of 22 ° to 30 ° with a scan rate of ten hours. If the measured temperature rises to above 22 ° now (and thus into the temperature range of 22.1 ° to 30.0 °) as set in the second section, a measured value will be saved every ten seconds. Thus, you will have six measured values per minute. A temperature increase from, e.g.22°to23°couldthen,e.g.,bereectedintheevaluationof the measured value recording as follows: 10 seconds after the limit has been exceeded (here: more than 22 °) = 22.2 °; 20 seconds after = 22.3 °; 30 seconds after = 22.5 °; 40 seconds after = 22.7 °; 50 seconds after = 22.9 °; after one minute (60 seconds) = 23.0 °. You thus have six measured values for a temperature increase of one degree within one minute. If you have set up a setup, you can determine the period of measure

ment under "Working area". You can either specify a time span or se- lect(lowerright)"Continually".Conrmthisinputwith"done"aswell. The function with several "Sections" may be helpful in order to set a switching point of a heating as precisely as possible. Here, the additional interval setting is made with a shorter scan rate in order to have the temperature increase displayed in as much detail as possible at the planned deactivation point. 48If two or three "Sections" are set up, and the measured temperature undercuts or exceeds the lowest or highest value of a section, the scan rate for these temperature ranges is automatically set to the shortest scan rate. A short interval in "Test range" means a high number of recorded data. If you select a long recording time for the measurement as well, the remaining energy in the batter

ies may become too low. In that case, the app will display acorrespondingnote(seegure7). Figure 7 Once you have set all parameters as desired, you can start the measurement. Conrm this with "done". The display will now switch to a new display. You can start the measurement in the lower right (tap "Start") or interrupt a current measurement (tap "Stop"). To the left of the "Start/Stop Button", you can see the name of the current measurement, (e.g. Recording 5), the date and starting time. You can also see the current values in a graphical display with a time line and the current measured value. The display for this measured value can be scrolled to the left or right in order to view the min/max values or the average temperature. If the function "Average value" is 49chosen, the graphical display will show a green line with the average value. The set upper threshold is displayed with a red line, the lower threshold with a blue line. The upper right also shows a battery icon that will display the charge condition of the batteries inserted in the thermo logger to you. There also is a gear at the right at the very top. If you tap this when the measurement has stopped, the display will switch back to the already-familiar setting screen. f) Recorded list "Recorded list" shows all measured values recorded in the app. Tap the function. A list of all recordings opens. These recordings are displayed in chronological order and can be edited subse- quently. If you tap "Photo", you will be shown a small submenu. Select one of the options shown. Tap "Recording" to open the keyboard. You can then rename this measured value recording. Tap "Edit". You can now delete this measured value recording irrevocably. If you want to view the recordings, tap the arrow on the right. A new display with the recorded measured values opens. At the very top, you can see the starting time and the starting date of the re- cording.Belowit,thereisatexteldinwhichyoucanlenotes. The individual measured values are evident below. At the lower edge, you can choose between "CSV" (table view) and "Evalua- tion" (graphical view). The graphical view permits scrolling and elongating or compressing the measured result as desired, just as is common on mobile end devices. If you select "Divide" at the upper right, a small submenu will be opened. You can send the results of the measurements, e.g. by email, here. Use the display and the possibility of your mobile end device for orientation. 50g) Sleep mode The function "Sleep mode" controls deactivation of the display in your mobile end device. If sleep mode is off, the display will switch off according to the settings in your mobile end device. If sleep mode is on, the display of the mobile end device is not switched off.

12. Maintenance and Cleaning
