5.2. Button Functions

The BT-1500APP features several buttons for various functions:

Trigger: Pull to initiate temperature measurement.
E/T Button: When the product is working, press to enter the setting emissivity mode. Long press to turn the backlight/headlight on or off.
T/DN Button: Used to reduce emissivity in setting mode or to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature units.
Backlight/UP Button: Used to increase emissivity in setting mode or to turn the backlight on/off.
MODE Button: Used to cycle through measurement options: MAX (Maximum), MIN (Minimum), DIF (Difference), AVG (Average), HAL (High Alarm), LAL (Low Alarm) modes.
Laser Button: Press to turn the dual laser pointers on or off for precise targeting.

5.3. Adjustable Emissivity

The emissivity (ε) setting can be adjusted from 0.1 to 1.0 to accurately measure different types of surfaces. Refer to common emissivity values for various materials:

Material	Emissivity (ε)
Water	0.90-0.96
Timber	0.90
Stainless Steel	0.20-0.30
Paper	0.70-0.94
Most organic materials, painted surfaces, and plastics	0.95 (default)

Examples of different materials and their emissivity values — Image 5: Illustrates how different materials like water, timber, stainless steel, and paper have varying emissivity values, which can be adjusted on the device for accurate readings.

5.4. Bluetooth Mobile App Connection

The BT-1500APP supports connection to a mobile application for real-time monitoring, control, and data sharing.

Download the "AI Link" app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. You can scan the QR code provided in the manual or search for "AI Link".
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
