Measuring with the temperature sensor
The temperature sensor for reading the temperature on the surface of the glove, close surrounding of the firefighter - is located on the ring finger and is protected by a cover made of DuPont™Nomex® material while also being in contact with the surrounding air.

Measuring with the IR sensor
The IR sensor [infrared sensor] for measuring temperatures of remote objects is located beneath a silicon cover on the back of the glove. The accuracy of the measured temperature of the remote point depends on the distance between the glove and the measured point.

about current temperature
The laser pointer shows the middle of the measured area of the remote object.
| Distance of IR sensor from measured surface (m) | 0,1 | 0,5 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 20 |
| Diameter of measured surface (cm) | 1 | 4 | 9 | 17 | 35 | 52 | 70 | 87 | 175 |
The relationship between the surface measured by the IR sensor and the distance from which the surface is measured.
LED bar graph
The LED bar graph is located on the back of the glove and is protected by a clear silicon cover. The colour changes when set temperature limits are exceeded and the user is visually informed of the current measured value.
At any given moment, the bar graph displays values measured from only one of the sensors – either the temperature sensor or the IR sensor.
Status LEDs
The status LEDs inform the user of the charge status of the glove accumulator and the wireless connection with the smartphone.
Measuring
When the glove is switched on, both the temperature sensor and the IR sensor are immediately functional, and temperatures are measured while the glove remains switched on. In mode 1, the bar graph displays the temperatures measured with the temperature sensor; in mode 2, the bar graph displays temperatures measured with the IR sensor.
Display of measured values
Visual display gives a possibility to divide the temperature range into 6 levels. Besides the first range, in which only one green LED shines, two LEDs always shine at the same time. Five limit values can be set separately for the temperature sensor and the IR sensor. The table shows the factory settings for limit values.
| BAR GRAPH | Temperature range | ||
| Temperature sensor | IR sensor | ||
| green | < 100°C | < 100°C | |
| green | orange | from 100°C to 125°C | from 100°C to 150° |
| orange | orange | from 125°C to 150°C | from 150°C to 200°C |
| orange | red | from 150°C to 175°C | from 200°C to 250°C |
| red | red | from 175°C to 200°C | from 250°C to 300°C |
| red LEDs blink | > 200°C | > 300°C | |
The customer can change these values based on their specific needs. To do so, it is necessary to download the SensPro® application, which is available for Android and Apple systems.
SensPro® application
Accumulator box
The accumulator box contains a 3.7 V 1450mAh Li-ion accumulator; the box is held in an inner pocket of the glove. A USB micro-B connector is used to connect the device to the accumulator and to connect to the charger.
The operating time of the glove is 24-32 hours, depending on the use of the laser pointer.
