Device Operation

Switching On
The device can be switched on by pressing the button or by unfolding the penetration probe. If the penetration probe is folded, the infrared measurement mode is active. Otherwise, the core temperature measurement mode is active.

When the device is switched on, it waits for a Bluetooth connection and displays this with a flashing Bluetooth symbol. Once connected, the Bluetooth icon is permanently displayed.

Switching Off
The device will switch off automatically after 1 minute if in infrared mode or after 10 minutes if in penetration probe mode. When the penetration probe is closed, the device will switch off immediately. The backlight switches off after 10 seconds of inactivity.

Penetration Probe Temperature Measurements
To take temperature measurements using the penetration probe, unfold the probe and position the needle where you want to measure the temperature. Wait until the temperature has stabilized. By pressing the button, the last measured temperature value is held until the button is pressed again.

Infrared Temperature Measurements
To take a reading with the infrared sensor, close the penetration probe. Point the infrared lens at the point to be measured and press and hold the button. Aim so that both laser points are on the object to be measured. The area between the two laser points represents the measured temperature. If the button is released, the last measured value is held.

Logging Modes
There are different logging modes available for the device:

AdHoc Logging Mode
In this mode, real-time measurement data can be transmitted via a Bluetooth LE connection. Measurement values can also be stored in the internal storage memory for later readout. The device needs to be programmed by host software for this mode.

1. In infrared mode, temperature measurements are taken while the button is pressed.
2. In penetration probe mode, temperature measurements are taken while no key is pressed.
3. In infrared mode, the temperature value is held if the button is released. The device alternately shows HOLD and SAVE in this state.
4. In penetration probe mode, the temperature measurement is held if the button is shortly pressed. The device alternately shows HOLD and SAVE in this state.
5. If Bluetooth is connected, measurement data is transferred via Bluetooth.
6. Only available for TLC 750 NFC: If the button is pressed down, the internal NFC reader searches for NFC tags. If an NFC tag is found, the device shows TAG and alternately HOLD and SAVE. If Bluetooth is connected, NFC tag data is transferred via Bluetooth.
7. To store a measurement in the internal storage memory, the button has to be pressed. The device confirms with OK.

Overview

The TLC 750 NFC and TLC 750 BT are both infrared and contact thermometers. You can choose between these two types of measurement at any time. While using them as an infrared thermometer, two integrated laser pointers help to aim at the desired measuring surface. The model variant TLC 750 BT has a Bluetooth LE interface integrated for wireless data transmission. In addition, the device offers a USB interface for wired data transmission. The integrated battery can be charged via USB or using wireless charging technology.

In addition to the functions of the TLC 750 BT device, the model variant TLC 750 NFC has an NFC reader integrated with which NFC tags can be read.

Safety instructions

• The device is not suitable for children. Keep out of the reach of children!

• Risk of injury!
  There is a risk of injury when the probe needle is unfolded.

• Risk of contamination! In case of injuries with the probe needle you could contract dangerous germs!

• Burns!
  After measuring high temperatures, the probe needle still is hot for some time.

• Avoid over-tightening the penetration probe pivot. Overstressing the penetration probe may cause breakage.

• Operate the device only within the specified parameters.

• Warning of laser light!
  Risk of injury to the eyes! Do not aim the laser directly or indirectly via reflective surfaces to the eyes.

Precautions
Protect the thermometer from the following influences:

• Strong electromagnetic fields e.g. induction heaters
• Static electricity
• Do not use on or near hot or very cold objects.

Device operation

Switching on

• The device can be switched on by pressing button or by unfolding the penetration probe. If penetration probe is folded, IRT measurement is active. Otherwise core temperature measurement is active.
• When the device is switched on, the device waits for a Bluetooth connection and displays this with a flashing Bluetooth symbol. Once connected, the Bluetooth icon is permanently displayed.

Switching off
The device will switch off automatically after 1 minutes if in infrared mode, or after 10 minutes if in penetration probe mode. When the penetration probe is closed, the device will switch off immediately. The backlight switches off after 10 seconds of inactivity.

Penetration probe temperature measurements

• The Penetration probe must be unfolded for this mode of operation. Position the probe needle where you want to measure the temperature. Wait until temperature has stabilized.
• By pressing button last measured temperature value is held until is pressed again.

Infrared temperature measurements
The penetration sensor must be closed for this mode of operation. To take a reading with the infrared sensor, point the infrared lens at the point to be measured and press and hold the button. Aim so that both laser points are on the object to be measured. The area whose temperature is measured is located between the two laser points. If button is released the last measured value is held.
