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.

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
