Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a JB Industries’ Wireless Temperature Clamp. This
device is capable of accurately measuring temperatures of pipes and tubing
commonly used in
the HVACR industry. These clamps display the temperature readings on an easy-
to-view OLED screen. They work alone or wirelessly send information to a JB
Industries’ DM4-W Wireless Digital Manifold, an IOS smart device, or an
Android smart device through the JB GO App.

could melt the plastic clamp.

and red color bands for Suction Side and Liquid Side
General Safety
Use caution when taking temperature measurements. Pipes, tubes, and other components of HVACR equipment can be very hot (or very cold). Skin can easily be burned or frostbitten if these components are touched. Use adequate personal protective equipment when servicing these systems.

Using the Clamp with the JB Industries
DM4-W Digital Manifolds
Mechanical information
- The JB Industries DM4-W Digital manifold will work with 2 temperature clamps (wired or wireless)
- Wired K-Type clamps are prioritized if they are plugged into the DM4-W
- The wireless clamps can be used in-place of the wired K-Type clamps Connecting the Wireless Clamp to the DM4-W (See DM4-W manual for more information)
Example: How to connect the T1 “blue” clamp. Remove the wired K-Type connector
(if applicable).
If the clamp has not been paired to the DM4-W yet:
-
Turn on the DM4-W and the wireless clamp (on startup, note the last 4 digits of the clamp Serial Number)
The wireless clamp OLED should show a blinking Bluetooth Connection symbol -
Press the ENTER button on the DM4-W to enter the menu
-
Highlight “Bluetooth Device” and press the ENTER button
-
Wait until the “Wait…” text disappears
-
Look on the right side for available devices (There is a “Paired Devices” list on the left side that will populate when wireless devices are paired with the DM4-W)
-
Highlight the T1 device that you want to connect from the “Available Devices” and press the ENTER button and press the POWER button to “Add T1”
-
Repeat these steps to connect the T2 “red” clamp
-
Press the ZERO button to return to the home screen
-
The clamp should pair with the DM4-W and the clamp OLED screen should show a solid Bluetooth Connection symbol. The DM4-W screen should show the temperature and the last 4 digits of the connected wireless clamp serial number under the T1.
If the clamp has already been paired to the DM4-W:
- Turn on the DM4-W and the wireless clamp. The wireless clamp should automatically connect to the DM4-W, and the Bluetooth Connection symbol should remain solid.
NOTE: If a K-Type clamp is plugged into the DM4-W, the K-Type values will take priority. The DM4-W screen will show K-Type under the T#.
Deleting the clamps from the DM4-W
- Press the ENTER button on the DM4-W to enter the menu
- Highlight “Bluetooth Device” and press the ENTER button
- Wait until the “Wait…” text disappears
- Look on the right side for available devices (There is a “Paired Devices” list on the left side that will populate when wireless devices are paired with the DM4-W.)
- Highlight the T1 device that you want to remove from the “Available Devices” and press the ENTER button. Then press the POWER button to “Remove T1”
- Press the ZERO button to return to the home screen
- The wireless clamp is now unpaired from the DM4-W The Bluetooth Connection symbol on the clamp OLED screen will start flashing to indicate if it is not paired
