IR LINK:
This meter option initiates a wireless communication session during which the
currently stored readings will be downloaded to a PC. Before using this feature, the
target PC must be loaded with Delmhorst Instrument Co.’s Universal Application
Program and a Delmhorst base unit must be connected to an available USB port.

REQUIREMENTS :
The wireless communication technology employed in the meter requires line-of-sight
access between the red side window of the meter and the receiving window of the
base unit. Simply place the meter and base unit on a flat surface, with the red side
window of the meter facing the receiving window of the base unit. Separation
requirements between the meter and base unit are anywhere from 0 to 12 inches.

OPERATION :
1. Begin by starting the Delmhorst Instrument Co. Universal Application
Program (double click the application icon or choose the program from the
Start Menu).
2. Once the TotalCheck and base unit are lined up and the base unit is
connected to a USB port (a green LED should be lit), select the IR LINK
option in the Main Menu. The meter will display the message “Linking…” for
a few seconds, followed by “Link OK” when successful communication is
established with the base unit. The base unit will also indicate communication
established by turning off the green LED and turning on a red LED.
3.
Press the “MANAGE DATA” button in the Delmhorst Instrument Co.
Universal Application Program. The meter will display “Data” on the screen
and the base unit will alternately turn on a yellow and red LED while data
transfer takes place (red indicates communication between the meter and
Base Unit, while yellow indicates communication between the base unit and
the PC). When finished, the meter will return to the Main Menu and the base
unit will, once again, turn on its green LED. For further details on managing
the meter data in the PC please refer to the HELP feature in the program.
NOTE: The above sequence of events in initiating communication between
the PC and the meter is not mandatory. The Application Program may be
started first, or the IR Link may be selected first. The MANAGE DATA button
