Description
With this high-quality laser scanner, surfaces such as interior walls and facades can be quickly and easily checked for potential mold risk due to cold spots. The device allows for a non-contact measurement of the wall surface temperature using infrared and simultaneously automatically determines the dew point temperature value.
The backlit LCD display ensures a clear and easily readable display of measurement values even in unfavorable lighting conditions. The integrated 20:1 dual laser visualizes the measurement spot on the respective measurement object. For dew point determination, the device additionally measures the current room temperature and humidity.
Thanks to the acoustic and visual alarm function based on the traffic light principle, as well as the integrated bar graph indicator, the user quickly receives information even with larger measurement areas about whether the dew point has been reached or fallen below at a measurement point, thus indicating a risk of condensation and mold.
'Since a long-term increased relative humidity of about 70% is sufficient for the formation of mold on material surfaces, the device warns both acoustically and visually several degrees before the actual dew point. Therefore, it is worthwhile to check cold wall areas to detect condensation early and take preventive measures.'
"With 20:1 optics, always keep the measurement spot in view"
Measure the surface temperature of walls, materials, and objects contactlessly, meaning without touching the measurement object. To accurately assess the measurement area (measurement spot), the device is equipped with a dual laser pointer. This projects two laser points onto the surface to be measured, precisely marking the diameter of the measurement spot. In this area, the temperature value is captured by an infrared sensor, and an average value is determined. The rule is: the smaller the measurement spot, the more accurate the measurement, and the further the measuring device is from the measurement object, the larger the measurement spot diameter will be. Thanks to its geometric resolution of 20:1, the handheld measuring device also allows for accurate measurements from several meters away.
Recognizing mold risk
Since the device also has an air temperature sensor and an air humidity sensor (measuring range from 0% to 100% relative humidity) in addition to the infrared surface temperature measurement, the dew point temperature is automatically calculated from these 3 values. In addition to the exact values, an audible signal and/or the color of the LCD display will indicate whether the measured values are in the critical range, if desired.
Green Display: everything is fine
Oranges Display: Measured values are approaching the critical dew point value
Red Display: Temperature is dangerously close to the dew point or has already reached or fallen below it, allowing condensation to form.
With the increasingly faster beeping sound signal, you can also work by ear if desired. Especially for large area measurements on walls, you can quickly scan where critical points are located with the acoustic and/or optical alarm – all without having to pay attention to the exact measurement values. In addition, the bar graph indicator displayed on the screen provides quick orientation with an easily understandable bar chart and schematically shows you on a scale from 0% to 100% how close the measurement values have come to the dew point temperature.
Versatile
Due to the large temperature measurement range of -50 °C to 260 °C, this measuring device is recommended not only for use as a dew point scanner but also for other applications. The non-contact infrared measurement reliably protects you from surfaces that are too hot or too cold.
"Whether it's heating systems, hot pipes, tanks, boilers, engine blocks, control boxes, or deep-freeze storage – measure temperatures without burning your hands or getting "stuck" to icy surfaces. This device can even be used for preparing baby food when you want to quickly check the correct drinking temperature of the bottle from the outside."
With its compact dimensions, the lightweight device weighing only 163 g can be conveniently carried in a jacket pocket. Additionally, a practical carrying case for attachment to a belt is included in the delivery.
The infrared thermometer is powered wirelessly by the included 9-volt block battery. Thanks to the battery status indicator in the LCD display, you always have the current charge level in view. The automatic shut-off when not in use is energy-saving – allowing you to perform countless measurement tasks!
