13

Using the product

Using the product
For technical reasons, the accuracy of the sensor improves with longer operating time of the sensor. For accurate measurements in ppm or calibrations, the device must be switched on for at least 10 minutes (after the warm-up phase). Please note that the instrument switches itself off by default after 10 min of inactivity. You can avoid this by disabling the Auto- off function (see chapter 6.2.1). Lighters are only suitable to a limited extent for a function test due to the different liquid gas mixtures used in commercial lighters and the selectivity of the sensor based on the gas set (GAS button).
7.1 Controls on the measuring instrument
The instrument is switched on. The testo Smart App is installed on the smartphone and connected
to the instrument via Bluetooth®.
Settings and controls are implemented either on the instrument or via the app. If the measuring instrument is connected to the testo Smart App, settings can only be made via the app. The measuring instrument then remains in the measurement view and other menus, e.g. Settings, cannot be opened.
