Congratulations on choosing this high quality and highly efficient AST pyrometer for non contact temperature
measurement. Please read this user manual carefully, step by step, including all notes of security, operation and
maintenance before installing the pyrometer. This manual contains all the necessary instructions for set up and
operation of the pyrometer. This section provides an overview about important safety regulations.
Some Important Safety Regulations Given Below:
1. Safety Precaution :
Each person working with pyrometer must read the user manual before operation. The pyrometer has only to be
used for the purpose described in manual. The pyrometer works only with a potential free low voltage. This voltage is
not harmful for user. The pyrometer may contain harmful material and hence it should not be disposed of with
normal waste.
2. Packaging and Storage :
Always use a shock proof package for shipment of pyrometer. It should be sealed to protect it against humidity. Also
protect the lens of pyrometer with cover. They should be stored at the temperature range from -20°c to 55°C.
3. Limit of Liability and Warranty
All general information and notes for handling, maintenance and cleaning of this instrument are offered according to
the best of our knowledge and experience.
AST reserves the right to revise this document and to make change from time to time in the content hereof without
obligation to notify any person or persons of such revisions or changes. AST instruments have a warranty of two year
from the invoice date. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and faults which arise during operation only if
they are the results of defects caused by AST.

2.1 Application, Range and Working Principle
TI-1800 are specially designed portable IR pyrometer for non contact temperature measurement between 250°C to
1800°C in demanding industrial environments. The back light a LCD display provides temperature, indication of status
and configuration of pyrometer together with measurement mode. The measuring result is shown and can be
analyzed directly on site.
The portable pyrometer provides fast, simple data logging with bluetooth connectivity to download this data to
android mobile for analysis. The data storage (data store up to 1000 values) of measurement offers the best possibility
for analyzing the data.
The applications in which AST pyrometers can be used are:

Alkaline- manganese batteries should not be used). They must be
inserted into the battery holder (Note:- polarity of battery should
be correct). And installed afterward into the pyrometer handle
(Note :- position and direction of battery should be correct). After
closing the battery case cover the pyrometer is ready for use. The
direction of battery holder shown in figure.

3.2.4 Bluetooth Communication
In TI 1800, for PRB “OFF” i.e Pyrometer mode selection we have Bluetooth Communication option to retrieve the
data from the pyrometer. To retrieve data we need to install “INFRASMART TI” App in to the android mobile. In
Pyrometer press “BT” menu “ON” then switch on the Bluetooth discoverable from Mobile. User will receive
Bluetooth name (e.g. TI-1002) select the Bluetooth name & initiate the pairing. (For pairing it will ask the password
and password will reverse order of the Pyrometer Sr. No. i.e 2001) then establish the communication between
Mobile & Portable Pyrometer as shown in fig 1.
Once pyrometer and mobile bluetooth paired successfully it will display “show data”. User have to press show data
option to view saved temperature values in pyrometer. as shown in fig 2.
To save or clear the data from mobile you can see right side top
menu. Either you can Save or Clear the temperature value.
If you have chosen “save” option, it will be saved in mobile in the
form of .txt file.
If you have chosen “CLEAR DATA” option then it will clear all saved
data from mobile & Pyrometer.
Path of the saved file will be File Manage →Phone Storage →
Download → .txt file.
File name will be saved in the format of TI----data_YMDHMS.txt
TI---- : Sr. No
Y : Year
M : Month

Information
Maintenance
The pyrometer has no internal parts, which have to be cleaned. The lens can be cleaned with compressed air,
which is dry and free of oil. If the protection glass requires more thorough cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth such as that
used to clean camera lenses.
Packing instructions
To transport or store the instrument, please use the original box or a box padded with sufficient shock
absorbing material. For storage in humid areas or shipment overseas, the device should be placed in welded foil
(ideally along with silicone gel) to protect it from humidity.
Warranty
AST TI1800 instruments have a warranty of one years from the invoice date. This warranty covers
manufacturing defects. User-induced faults are not covered under this warranty.
Limit of liability
AST not liable for any damages that arise from the use of any examples or processes mentioned in this manual.
