For an overview of the use and operation of your instrument, refer to its included Instruction Manual or download a digital PDF at www.defelsko.com/manuals. Update your gage to ensure your PosiTector includes these latest help references.
Memory The PosiTector IRT Advanced has internal memory storage for recording measurement data. Stored measurements can be reviewed on-screen or accessed via computers, tablets and smart phones. Measurements are date and time-stamped. Store up to 250,000 readings in up to 1,000 batches.
Either the touch screen or navigation buttons can be used to enter annotations. Annotations can be synchronized with PosiSoft.net and the PosiTector App. They are included in PosiSoft USB Drive reports. Print Sends a statistical summary and individual measurements to the optional Bluetooth wireless printer.
Statistics Menu option for configuring Statistics and HiLo Alarm modes. Statistics Statistics mode continually displays/updates average, standard deviation, min/max thickness and number of readings while measuring. When selected, the statistics icon and statistical summary will appear on the display. Ignore the last measurement by pressing the (-) button. Press (+) to clear statistics. Clear Clears all on-screen Statistics and HiLo tabulations.

The ratio varies from 0 to 1, and each material has a specific emissivity associated with it. The PosiTector IRT has built in emissivity settings for certain materials as well as a user-adjustable emissivity option.
Zinc (Galvanized) = 0.25 Steel (Oxidized) = 0.95 Concrete = 0.54 Wood = 0.95 Paint = 0.96 NOTE: Depending on surface treatment, metals such as blasted steel can have a broad range of emissivity values. Adjusting to a known temperature (measured by a direct contact surface temperature probe) on a representative sample will assist in obtaining an accurate emissivity value.
SPC data collection software. See www.defelsko.com/update Pairing The instrument and receiving device must be paired before readings can be transmitted. For pairing instructions, see www.defelsko.com/bluetooth Info Lists information about your current Bluetooth connection, including the currently paired device and MAC address.
NOTE: While connected, power is supplied through the included USB-C cable. The batteries are not used and the body will not automatically power down. Sync.net Now When selected, the Gage immediately synchronizes stored measurement data to PosiSoft.net (USB connection required to a computer running PosiSoft Desktop). Alternatively, select Auto Sync.net from within the USB connect menu to automatically synchronize upon connection to a PC.

WiFi Allows connection to your local wireless network or mobile hot spot. Ideal for using your network’s internet connection for synchronizing stored measurements with PosiSoft.net. See www.defelsko.com/wifi Setup Options Setup WiFi configuration options for the Gage. AP Channel The access point channel corresponding to a frequency range. (Default Channel: 6) For most users the default channel will not have to be altered.
Internet of Things device and is ideal for users with an existing WiFi network and a desire to stream live readings to a central application or database. For more information on WiFi Streaming visit: www.defelsko.com/connect Auto Sync .net When enabled, the Gage automatically attempts to synchronize stored measurement data with PosiSoft.net upon power-up (internet connected WiFi network required).
Securing your Access Point To ensure the PosiTector is only accessible to authorized devices, it is important that you enter a passphrase (password) for the Access Point. The default Passphrase is password. In the Connect > WiFi > Setup menu, select AP Passphrase to modify the default passphrase.

Determines if a software update is available for your Gage. To perform an update the Gage must be connected to an internet connected computer running PosiSoft Desktop, or a WiFi network. See www.defelsko.com/update WARNING: The Gage will perform a Hard Reset after an update. All stored measurements will be erased from memory.
Press (+) or touch the (i) icon to display the help. Update your gage to ensure that you have the latest on-gage help information. A formatted PDF containing all on-gage help items is available at www.defelsko.com/help. Menu Operation To access the Menu, power-up the gage, then press the center navigation button. Either the keypad or touch screen can be used to navigate the menu.
