Working with Bluetooth

Instruments fitted with a Communication side cover can communicate with external
devices via a Bluetooth connection. The instrument Bluetooth is a slave only. The Blue-
tooth of the external device will be the master, and therefore will control the connec-
tion and any data transfer.
1. On the instrument ensure that the communication parameters are set to Blue-
tooth: and Active. Refer to "5.6 Interface Settings".
2. Activate Bluetooth on the external device. The steps required depend on the Blue-
tooth driver and other device specific configurations. Refer to the device user
manual for information on how to configure and search for a Bluetooth connec-
tion.
The instrument will appear on the external device as "TS0x_y_zzzzzzz", where x =
the FlexLine plus series (TS06 plus or TS09 plus), y = the angular accuracy in arc
seconds, and z = the serial number of the instrument. For example,
TS06_3_1234567.
3. Some devices ask for the identification number of the Bluetooth. The default
number for a FlexLine plus Bluetooth is 0000. This can be changed by:
• Select Settings from the Main Menu.
• Select Interface from the Settings Menu.
• Press BT-PIN from the Interface Settings screen.
• Enter a new Bluetooth PIN number in PIN-Code.
• Press Cont to confirm the new Bluetooth PIN.
4. When the external Bluetooth device has located the instrument for the first time,
a message will display on the instrument stating the name of the external device
and requesting confirmation that connection to this device should be allowed.
• Press Yes to allow, or
• Press No to disallow this connection
5. The instrument Bluetooth sends out the instrument name and serial number to
the external Bluetooth device.
6. All further steps must be made in accordance to the user manual of the external
device.
Using Instrument Tools Data Exchange Manager, data files can be transferred from the
instrument to a local folder via the Bluetooth connection. The transfer is made
through the serial port configured on the computer as the Bluetooth Serial Port,
however, for faster data transfer speeds we recommend using the USB or RS232
connections.
For more information about Instrument Tools Data Exchange Manager refer to the
comprehensive online help.
For transferring data using other external devices or software programs, refer to the
user manual of the device or software. The FlexLine plus Bluetooth does not establish
or manage the data transfer.
