Establishing a Bluetooth® connection to the testo Smart App
![]()
To establish a connection via Bluetooth ®, you need a tablet or smartphone with the Testo Smart App already installed on it.
![]()
You can get the App for iOS instruments in the App Store
![www.apple.com]()
or for Android instruments in the Play Store.
![play.google.com]()
Compatibility:
Requires iOS 13.0 or later/Android 8.0 or later, requires Bluetooth ® 4.2.
Bluetooth ® is enabled in the measuring instrument.
- Open the testo Smart App.
- The app automatically searches for Bluetooth ® devices in the vicinity.
- In the Sensors menu, check whether the required instrument is connected.
- If necessary, switch the instrument to be connected off and on again to restart the connection module.
- When the testo Smart App is connected to the measuring instrument, the
icon appears on the measuring instrument display.
The measuring instrument automatically synchronizes its date and time settings with the testo Smart App.
Once connected successfully, the current measured value from the measuring instrument appears on the app screen in the Live view.
Using the product
For technical reasons, the accuracy of the sensor improves with longer operating time of the sensor.
For accurate measurements in ppm or calibrations, the device must be switched on for at least 10 minutes (after the warm-up phase).
Please note that the instrument switches itself off by default after 10 min of inactivity. You can avoid this by disabling the Auto-off function (see "Connecting probes" chapter).
Lighters are only suitable to a limited extent for a function test due to the different liquid gas mixtures used in commercial lighters and the selectivity of the sensor based on the gas set (GAS button).
Controls on the measuring instrument
- The instrument is switched on.
- to the instrument via Bluetooth
The testo Smart App is installed on the smartphone and connected to the instrument via Bluetooth ®. - Settings and controls are implemented either on the instrument or via the app.
If the measuring instrument is connected to the testo Smart App, settings can only be made via the app. The measuring instrument then remains in the measurement view and other menus, e.g. Settings, cannot be opened.
