Quick measure – Handheld + DpS-Visio
Measure flow
Warning! Beware of hot fluid in the valve. Always follow the sequence described in the manual when connecting and disconnecting the measuring equipment.
Warning! The surface on the Dp sensor unit can be hot while measuring on hot media. Always use suitable safety equipment.
- Turn the handheld (Hh) and the Dp sensor (DpS-Visio) on.
- Connect measuring equipment.
- Hh: Navigate to Quick Measure in the main menu and press enter.
- Hh: Navigate to Measure Flow and press enter.
Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
Always consider the risks of injury from hot water before starting any measurement on a heating system and follow relevant local legislate- tin, regulations, standards and good industry practice for working with pressurized hot water systems. Always use appropriate personal safety equipment when working on a heating system.
Examples of appropriate safety equipment include (but are not limited to) a face shield, heat resistant rubber gloves and boots and a long sleeved apron (long enough to cover the tops of the boots). Always wear your boots inside your trouser legs to prevent/minimize any hot water flowing into your boots. IMI Hydronic Engineering will not take any responsibility for injury Howson- ever caused by hot water during measurement.

PC communication
Download Hy Select
Download and install Hy Select from www.imi-hydronic.com.
Transfer of data
Connect TA-SCOPE to your PC to transfer data, e.g., hydronic networks and collected system information to and from the HySelect software.
Use the USB-cable to connect the Handheld to a PC and the Hy Select software will automatically connect to TA-SCOPE. Simply follow the instructions on the PC.
Software upgrade
When a new version of the TA-SCOPE software is available, Hy Select will automatically suggest an upgrade. Simply connect your TA-SCOPE and follow the instructions on the PC.
Care and storage recommendations
- TA-SCOPE can be cleansed with a damped cloth and a lenient cleaning-agent.
- Change filter in the hoses regular.
- Never leave water in the Dap Sensor when risk of freezing exists (i.e., in a car during winter)!
- Do not expose to extreme temperatures, the battery may explode if disposed of in fire.
- Storage above 140° F is not allowed.
- Other usage than specified in this manual may cause damage to the unit or user.
Warning! Do not open the instrument. This can damage the instrument and void your guarantee! See user manual for further information.
Calibration/Service
The instrument (Dp sensors, temperature sensors) has been calibrated before delivery.
IMI Hydronic Engineering recommend a yearly calibration and service. (See Guarantee/Calibration/Service form).
Contact your local sales office for more information.
Batteries
Capacity and charging
Upon delivery the TA-SCOPE is partly charged and prepared to start balancing immediately. The Information bar on the Handheld displays the battery status for both Handheld and DpS-Visio whenever communication is established.
The Handheld and Dp sensor(s) can be charged at the same time through the multi- charger. The TA-SCOPE is delivered with one multi-charger and 2 charging cables.
Handheld is charged with a special charging cable. Dips-Visio with the same cable as used for communication with handheld (Hh) andic.
Charging – Operation instruction
(Choose the correct plug (fig A).)
- Connect the multi-charger to the wall socket. Wait for the indicator to show green color.
- Plug the device(s) into the USB port(s).
Warning! The supplied multi- charger from IMI Hydronic Engineering must be used!
CAUTION! (Multi-charger)
- Do not bend the blade or pins of the plug.
- If there are any strange sound, smoke or odor, pull of the cable(s) immediately.
- Do not disassemble. (it may cause fire or electric shock).
- Do not put any sharp objects into the venting hole. (it may cause fire or electric shock).
- Ensure to plug the multi-charger firmly.
- Ensure not to use damaged cable(s). (it may cause fire or electric shock).
- Ensure not to place the multi-charger on a bed, bag or inside a closet that is not good for ventilation.
- Always wipe off the multi-charger with a soft fabric, not water mop. (water may cause electric shock).
- Keep the power plug and outlet clean. (dirt may cause a short circuit and fire).
- Keep the product out of reach of children.
