PosiTector SmartLink

The PosiTector SmartLink turns your phone or tablet into a full-featured inspection gauge. It hooks up with compatible DeFelsko probes (coating thickness, surface profile, environmental, etc.) via Bluetooth LE, and uses the free PosiTector App to display, record, share, and report measurements instantly.

Supplied in the UK by DFT Instruments, every SmartLink comes with certification, local support, and the accessories to get started straight away—probe is purchased separately so you can use the module with probes you already have or choose just what you need.

PosiTector SmartLink
  • Simple, Touch-Friendly Interface – The free PosiTector App provides an intuitive touchscreen experience, so you can start measuring immediately with minimal training.

  • Instant Wireless Transfer – Each measurement is sent in real time to your connected smartphone or tablet for instant viewing and storage.

  • Compact & Portable – A lightweight module powered by a single AAA battery, making it easy to carry and ideal for field use.

  • Seamless Bluetooth ConnectionAuto-pairing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology maintains a secure link to your device at distances of up to 10 m (30 ft).

  • Rich Data Capture – Attach photos from your camera or image library to individual readings or entire batches for comprehensive documentation.

  • Flexible Batch Management – Quickly rename batches and add notes using your device’s keyboard or voice input for effortless record-keeping.

  • Interactive Analysis – Swipe through real-time graphs and on-screen statistics to spot trends and verify consistency at a glance.

  • Automatic Cloud BackupAutoSync securely stores every reading to the cloud as you work—no account setup required—so your data is always safe and accessible.

  • Flexibility Across Instruments
    Instead of buying several full gauges, you only need one SmartLink module plus the probes you already use (or plan to use). This modularity saves both cost and storage.

  • Real-Time Data & Reporting
    Readings are sent instantly to your smart device. You can add images, notes, and locations, generate PDF or CSV reports on the spot—this speeds up QC and audit compliance.

  • Improved Workflow & Traceability
    The auto-sync and cloud backup features mean readings are safely stored and can be restored across devices. This is especially useful for teams, contractors, and inspectors working across multiple sites.

  • Lab-Grade Accuracy with Minimal Overhead
    Uses the same precision in DeFelsko probes (6000, SPG, RTR-H, DPM) but adds mobility and ease of use. Ideal for field work and environments where carrying full gauge bodies is inconvenient.v

  • UK-Based Support Since 1998
    DFT has supported DeFelsko instruments for decades—our service, calibration, and technical advice come with experience.

  • Traceable Calibration & Warranty
    SmartLink is supplied with a calibration certificate. Buying from us ensures genuine units, full two-year warranty, and access to calibration services in the UK.

FAQ’s

What does the SmartLink do?

It converts compatible DeFelsko probes into a wireless measurement device. The readings transmit via Bluetooth to your smart device using the PosiTector App, where you can view, store, report, and sync.

Which probes work with SmartLink?

Compatible probes include PosiTector 6000, SPG / SPGS, RTR-H, and DPM / DPMS that were manufactured after January 2006. Some older or specialized probe types (e.g., FNDS, FJS, certain legacy probes) are not supported

Do I need an internet connection?

No. SmartLink works with your device even offline. Reporting, note-taking, and photo attachment all work without internet. Internet is needed only for cloud backup / syncing with PosiSoft.net if you choose those features.

How is data stored and shared?

Readings are stored in your Smartphone or Tablet within the PosiTector App. You can export them as PDF or CSV, attach photos/images, add notes, and share via email, Dropbox, etc.

What is LED tri-colour used for?

The LED gives you quick status feedback: connection state, successful measurement, errors, etc., so you can use it in low-visibility or noisy environments.

How long does the battery last?

Since it uses just one AAA battery and the Bluetooth LE module is efficient, battery life is generally good. Exact life depends on probe type, frequency of use, and whether features like LED / app are used heavily.

Is it complicated to set up?

Not at all. Setup is simple: install the free PosiTector App, connect your compatible probe, power on SmartLink, pair via Bluetooth, and start measuring.

What’s the warranty?

SmartLink comes with a 2 year warranty via official DeFelsko / DFT channels.
