Information about the device
Device description
Used in combination with Trotec's MultiMeasure Mobile app the
sound level measuring device permits the measurement of
noise emissions.
In case of individual measurements, the measurement value
display can be refreshed both via the app and by a brief
actuation of the measurement button at the measuring device.
Apart from the hold function, the measuring device can indicate
minimum, maximum and average values and carry out series
measurements.
In the app you can specify MAX and MINalarm thresholds for all
parameters measured with the device.
The measurement results can be displayed and saved on the
terminal device either numerically or in form of a chart. Then,
the measurement data can be sent in PDF or Excelformat.
The app also includes a report generation function, an organiser
function, one for customer management and further analysis
options. Moreover, it is possible to share measurements and
project data with colleagues in another subsidiary. If
MultiMeasure Studio Professional is installed on a PC, you can
even use report templates and ready-made text blocks for
various fields of application to turn the data into professional
reports.

in the respective measuring environment prior to the
appSensor's measuring operation.
Connecting the appSensor
Info
The app can simultaneously be connected to several
different appSensors or appSensors of the same type
and also record several measurements at the same
time.
Proceed as follows to connect the appSensor to the terminal
device:
üThe Trotec MultiMeasure Mobile app is installed.
üThe Bluetooth function on your terminal device is activated.
1. Start the Trotec MultiMeasure Mobile app on the terminal
device.
2. Briefly actuate the On/ off/ measurementbutton(3) three
times to switch on the appSensor.

Continuous measurement
Info
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can
lead to condensation forming on the device's circuit
board. This physical and unavoidable effect can falsify
the measurement. In this case, the app will either
display incorrect measured values or none at all. Wait a
few minutes until the device has become adjusted to
the changed conditions before carrying out a
measurement.
When the appSensor has been successfully connected to the
terminal device, a continuous measurement is started and
indicated. The refresh rate is 1second. The 12most recently
measured values are displayed graphically(9) in chronological

Errors and faults
The device has been checked for proper functioning several
times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,
check the device according to the following list.
Bluetooth connection is terminated or interrupted
• Check whether the LED at the appSensor flashes green. If
so, briefly switch it off completely, then turn it back on.
Establish a new connection to the terminal device.
• Check the battery voltage and insert new or freshly
charged batteries, if required.
• Does the distance between appSensor and terminal device
exceed the appSensor's radio range (see chapter Technical
data) or are there any solid building parts (walls, pillars
etc.) situated between appSensor and terminal device?
Shorten the distance between the two devices and ensure
a direct line of sight.
The sensor cannot be connected to the terminal device
although it is displayed there.
• Check the Bluetooth settings of your terminal device. A
possible reason for this could be special, manufacturer-
specific settings relating to an improved location accuracy.
Enable these settings, then try to establish a connection to
the sensor again.
Further information and assistance regarding the used sensor
type will be provided in the MultiMeasure Mobile app via the
menu item Settings=> Help. Selecting the menu item Help
opens a link to the app's help page. You can open a drop-down
menu with numerous support entries from the Table of
contents. Optionally, you can also scroll through the entire help
page and thoroughly acquaint yourself with the individual help
topics.

sound level measuring device controlled via smartphone BS30WP
Maintenance and repair
Battery change
A battery change is required when the LED at the appSensor
flashes red or the sensor can no longer be switched on. See
chapter Operation.
Cleaning
Clean the device with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Make
sure that no moisture enters the housing. Do not use any
sprays, solvents, alcohol-based cleaning agents or abrasive
cleaners, but only clean water to moisten the cloth.
Repair
Do not modify the device or install any spare parts. For repairs
or device testing, contact the manufacturer.
Disposal
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste
electrical or electronic equipment stipulates that this equipment
must not be disposed of with the household waste at the end of
its life. You will find collection points for free return of waste
electrical and electronic equipment in your vicinity. The
addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local
administration. For further return options provided by us please
refer to our website www.trotec24.com.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms
of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative
effects for the environment and human health caused by the
disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
In the European Union, batteries and accumulators must not be
treated as domestic waste, but must be disposed of
professionally in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 6September 2006
on batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries and
accumulators according to the relevant legal requirements.
