Page 3: Application
1. Application The Ex-MX4 BT is a contactless temperature measuring device with an integrated Bluetooth™ and is designed for industrial use in potentially explosive areas of Zones 2 and 1 in accordance with Directive 99/92/EC (ATEX 137). -
Page 4: Special Conditions For Use In Zone 0 Areas
The length of the carrying sling should be measu- red such that the Ex-MX4 BT is still at a distance of 50 cm from the boundary area of Zone 0 when it hangs freely on the carrying sling. - Page 5 Emissivity: 0,10 ... 1.50 (0.95 preset) Measuring spot marking: 3 point laser marking Optical resolution (standard optics): 60:1 (19 mm measuring spot for 1.15 m) Accuracy (+25 °C): ± 0.75% of the measured value or ± 0.75 K, whichever is greater (±...

Page 6: Bluetooth™ Configuration
Please take the time to read through this operating manual carefully to ensure that you are familiar with and can use all the functions of your Ex-MX4 BT. Please go through the instructions on the following pages for your own safety and information! 8.1 Operation... -
Page 7: Measuring Marking
8.2 Measuring marking Keep in mind that the measured part of the object surface (3 point measuring spot marking) changes with the in- creasing measuring distance as shown 19 mm @ 1150 mm in the figure. The ratio between the measuring distance and measuring spot diameter isapproximately 60: 1 at DISTANCE (E) BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND THE MEASUREMENT OBJECT (mm) -

8.6 Settings Open the battery compartment. You can set the DIL switches. Lock: (ON) locks the measurement button. °C/°F: Toggling the display between °C and °F (the time and date format also change). Buzzer: (ON) acoustic alarm. Backlight: (ON) display light Set default: reset to the factory defaults. -
Page 9: Master Mode (Active Mode/Bluetooth™)
Proceed as follows: 1. Open the handle of the thermometer and set the DIL switch 9 to OFF (SLAVE). 2. Switch on the thermometer using the measurement button. 3. Press the Setup key. The following scrolling message appears on the display - “Bluetooth on-up, off-down“. -
Page 10: User-Defined Configuration (Bluetooth™)
The thermometer starts searching for the corresponding computer. When the con- nection is established, a green LED above the display illuminates and the colour of the Bluetooth™ icon on the connected computer changes. You can now transfer the data to the application software of the thermometer. If the measurement button is not pressed and data is not transferred, the thermometer switches off automatically after approximately 7 seconds. -
Page 11: High Alarm (Upper Limit)
Open „Device settings“ first. Here you can allocate a name to the thermometer and change the PIN. Caution: Do not forget this PIN, since it is always requested for encrypted transfer and for connections using the BlueTool software. Select SPP as the ComHardware mode and deactivate the connection indicator. -
Page 12: Low Alarm (Lower Limit)
8.7.5 Low alarm (lower limit) The setting of a temperature value, which when drops below this value should initiate an optical (blinking green LED (A) and blinking laser) and an acoustic warning signal. Press SETUP (N) thrice. Change the current setting (6) using arrow keys (C). Confirm the input with ENTER (D). -
Page 13: Setting The Mode
8.8 Setting the mode 8.8.1 Max value To activate the maximum value mode, press MODE (O) till the MAX icon (9) appears. The highest measured value (3) is always displayed as long as the measurement button is kept pressed. The currently measured value appears in the status line (7). -
Page 14: Average Value
8.8.5 Average value To activate the average value mode, press MODE (O) till the AVG icon (9) appears. The average of measured temperatures (3) is calculated and displayed as long as the measurement button is kept pressed. The currently measured value appears in the status line (7). 8.8.6 Sensor port This function must be executed only outside the Ex-area. -
Page 15: Display
8.10 Display 8.10.1 Graphics range The graphical component (4) of the display shows the last 10 measured values as a trend display. The measuring range of a column (B) can be calculated automatically by the device (Auto Range Function) or set manually (Manual Range Function). 8.10.2 Selecting the graphics functions Press DISPLAY (L) once. -

9. Emissivity Most organic materials as well as lacquered and oxidised surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95. The emissivity is preset to 0.95 in the Ex-MX4 BT for this reason, but can be changed using the rocker switch. The determination of the temperatures of shiny or highly polished metal surfaces re- sults in inaccurate measured values. -
Page 17: Setting The Emissivity
9.1 Setting the emissivity Press EMISS. (P). Select „Free“ (7) using arrow keys (C). Press EMISS. again. The emissivity icon (5) in the display starts blinking. Change the emissivity using arrow keys (C). Confirm the input with ENTER (D). 9.2 Selecting the material Press EMISS. -
