    PC software will be used. Disclaimer The application of the PiCUS TMS 3 on other objects, can cause damages to both the sensor and the measured object. The measurement results obtained with the PiCUS TMS 3 require interpretation by a trained professional.
  • Page 4: First Time Operation

    The TMS 3 App realises communication with the PiCUS TMS 3, while they are not placed in their charging cradles. The main function of the TMS 3 App is the configuration of the PiCUS TMS 3 and starting or stopping of measurements.
  • Page 5: Tracking Capabilities

    This synchronises all PiCUS TMS 3 measurement data. If no GPS is available, the system time of the mobile phone is transferred to the PiCUS TMS 3 when starting or stopping a measurement.

    After the display refreshes all found PiCUS TMS 3 will be displayed in a sensor-box and then sorted in a device list. The PiCUS TMS 3 device name and additional information will be displayed.
  • Page 7 The PiCUS TMS 3 automatically deactivates Bluetooth communication, if no messages were received within the last 2 minutes. If the PiCUS TMS 3 was in standby mode beforehand, it will turn off completely. If it was in measurement mode, it will remain in measurement mode and merely deactivate Bluetooth communication.
  • Page 8: Starting A Measurement

    1. Mount the PiCUS TMS 3 on the tree. Please pay attention to chapter 6 PiCUS TMS 3 mounting instructions. 2. Start the PiCUS TMS 3 with the magnetic key (see 4.1 Activating the PiCUS TMS 3). ATTENTION! Wait for the initialisation time of approx. 5 s.
  • Page 9: Stopping A Measurement

    For stopping a measurement with a PiCUS TMS 3 perform the following steps: 1. Activate BLE in the PiCUS TMS 3 with the magnetic key (a duration of 1 s is sufficient here). ATTENTION! Wait for the initialisation time of the communication of approx.

    3 will most likely fail. If the phones capabilities are unknown, this should be tested thoroughly. Set the number of simultaneously allowed PiCUS TMS 3 to its maximum value of 7. Then switch on 7 PiCUS TMS 3 and click REFRESH. If the mobile phone is capable of handling that number of device all PiCUS TMS 3 should connect.

    7/8/8.1/10) and a Bluetooth 5.0 interface is required (a Bluetooth 5.0 USB-Dongle is part of the delivery). Additionally, the TMS PC program has to be installed. Choosing which files to download from the PiCUS TMS 3 can be done in the TMS PC program. The download itself is automated.
  • Page 17: Charging Picus Tms 3

    ATTENTION! The red error LED signals that the PiCUS TMS 3 is not being charged. The cause for this is that the PiCUS TMS 3 is either too cold or too hot. When this error occurs the PiCUS TMS 3 can remain in its charge bay. The charging automatically starts once the temperatures have equalized.
