Bluetooth
The Bluetooth external antenna is for extending the transmission distance up to 8 meters. It is able to
disassemble, but not recommend to take it off because of losing. Please make sure the antenna has
been well installed before Bluetooth communication.
Power Supply
12V power supply plug for the fan and the entire device. Note: for accurate result, external 12V should be
connected, such that the fan works well for cooling .

The leftmost window lists out the detected devices, the middle window shows the selected devices,
and the rightmost window is the information of the selected device.
【Add】button
Select a device in the Available Devices window on the far left and click the Add button, the power
meter would be automatically added to the Selected Devices window, and the measurement channel
is created.
【Remove】button
As a device in the Selected Devices window is selected, then click the Remove button, the selected
device moves back to the Available Devices window.
(2) Bluetooth connection
For Bluetooth communication, please check【Search wireless devices】as shown in Figure 4,
Bluetooth devices would be found out automatically.
Before adding a Bluetooth device, make sure that your computer’s Bluetooth functions well. The
procedure for Bluetooth connection may not be the same in different operation systems or different
Bluetooth manufacturers. Here is an example for WIN7 operation system:
On the taskbar in the lower right corner of the computer screen, right-click the Bluetooth icon and
choose Add Device. As the wireless power meter is detected, a device with BIM-7XXX-XXXX would be
shown as Figure 5:
