7.1 Temp erature Sensor Not Acclimated
1.The instrume nt has be en exposed to severe
temperature va riati ons and needs time to accli matiz e
to the current env ironm ent.
2.The instrume nt will s how the above symbols.
3.Keep the instr ument i n the current environme nt for
approx. 10-30 mi nutes s o it has enough time to adapt
to the environme nt.
7.2 Ambient Temper ature O utside
Operating Rang e
3.The display wi ll show the current surface temp eratu re
of the object with in the me asurement spot, ambie nt
temperature, r elati ve humidity and dew point
temperature. Af ter rel easing the trigger the di splay
will hold the curr ent mea surement.
4.The LED above th e display will indicate the poss ible
presence of mold .
• Green: High temp eratu re differenc e. No ris k of mold
detected.
• Yellow: Med ium tem perature differen ce.Possible
mold risk presen t.Che ck again at a later time to ver ify.
• Red: Low tempera ture di fference.H igh Hig h risk of
mold detected. The display will flash t he appr opriate
measurement th at may be t he cause.
• After approx. 25s f rom rel easing the trigger, the
instrument wil l autom atically turn itself off.
Note: Reduce the h umidity or increase the ambien t
temperature if h igh ris k of mold is detected.The
instrument can not det ect mold spores.The ins trume nt
only give s an indi cation that mold formation is po ssibl e
at the given locat ion.

7.4 Internal Err or
1.The instrume nt has en countered an internal e rror.
2.The instrume nt will s how the above symbols.
3.To reset remove the batter y, wait a few seconds, the n
re-insert batt ery.
Note: If problem p ersis ts, the instrument may ne ed to
be taken in for serv ice.
8. Distance to Spot Ratio (D:S)
The thermomete r has a vis ual angle and visual spot
size; the follow ing drawing illustrates this :
Object
focus tube
sensor
1.The ambient te mpera ture is either too high or to o low
for operation.
2.The instrume nt will s how the above symbols.
3.Taking measurement in th e curre nt environment is
not possible.
7.3 Surface Temperature outside
Measureable Ra nge
1.The surface te mpera ture of the object within t he
measurement sp ot is eit her too high or too low for
measurement.
2.The instrume nt will s how the above symbols.
3.Temperature of this obje ct cann ot be measured.

A thermal bridge is a ny object that allows the transf er
of heat or energy fr om one si de to another.Because th e
surface temper ature o f an object at a thermal brid ge is
lower than the res t of the ro om, the risk of mold
increas es sign ificantly at these locations .

11. Changing the battery
When the battery s ymbol a ppears on the display, it
indicates that t he batt ery needs to be changed. Pr ess
the casing at the OP EN symb ols on both sides of the
battery cover an d pull it away from the meter to open
the cover. See the dr awing at the right:
Make sure that the t arget i s larger than the unit’s visual
spot size; the sma ller th e target, the closer the
thermometer sh ould be t o it. The ratio be tween d istance
and spot size is
12:1; the follow ing dra wing illustrates this:
To prevent the senso r from pi cking up IR radiation fro m
additio nal sou rces, make sure the thermomete r is
closer to the targ et obje ct than the D:S ratio.
