Why is Measurement Important? For industrial painters, the primary reason for measuring climatic conditions is to avoid rework and the premature failure of protective coatings. Recommendations and requirements are covered under various internationally recognized standards. Temperature - It is important to measure both surface and air temperatures as they are often different.
Operation Overview Operation Overview The PosiTector SmartLink powers-up when the LED button is pressed. To preserve battery life, the PosiTector SmartLink powers-down after 5 minutes of no activity. Alternatively, press and hold the LED button until it turns red and shuts off (approximately 5 seconds).

Magnetic Surface Temperature probe. Both models feature Auto Log mode for monitoring climatic parameter over extended periods of time. Learn more: www.defelsko.com/dpm/ Td -The dew point temperature is a function of air temperature and relative humidity (see ISO 8502-4 Annex A). It is the temperature to which a volume of air must be cooled in order to reach saturation.
Tw - The wet bulb temperature is the temperature of adiabatic saturation. This is the temperature indicated by a moistened thermometer bulb exposed to air flow. The wet bulb temperature is calculated from Ta and RH using an air pressure of 1.0 atmospheres (1013 mbar). It approximates the temperature indicated by a moistened thermometer bulb exposed to airflow.
PosiTector App PosiTector App The PosiTector App connects a PosiTector SmartLink to your Smart device enabling you to use PosiTector 6000, DPM, SPG or RTR-H probes on your device without the need for a conventional gage body. Screen fonts, brightness and displayed language are inherited from your smart device settings.
In the above example, Search and Menu navigation options are available. Search returns back to the list of available PosiTector SmartLink devices. Menu accesses the Main Menu. SmartLink Status Bar Displays information about the connected PosiTector SmartLink and associated probe.

Measurement Area Displays measurement (dataset) related information. The example on page 7 shows and environmental dataset. Memory is ON and datasets are being stored into Batch 1 (B1). The measurement area will change depending on the connected probe type and selected modes. Modes Icons and Units Displays icons for active modes (such as the disk icon X for Memory mode, pg 13) and measurement units ( X Fahrenheit).
PosiTector SmartLink PosiTector SmartLink The PosiTector SmartLink acts as a relay between the PosiTector probe and PosiTector App using wireless Bluetooth Smart (BLE Bluetooth Low Energy). No pairing required! Auto-pairing Bluetooth connection works up to 10 m (30 feet) away.
SmartLink. The PosiTector App will automatically recognize the probe and be ready to measure. Power-up / Power-down The PosiTector SmartLink powers-up when the LED button is pressed. To preserve battery life, the PosiTector SmartLink powers-down after 5 minutes of no activity. Alternatively, press and hold the LED button until it turns red and shuts off (approximately 5 seconds).
When using the surface temperature probe, do not use excessive downward force, and do not drag it sideways. More probe information is available at www.defelsko.com/dpm Protective Cap PosiTector DPM probes ship with a protective rubber cap (on surface temperature sensor).
