Active heating and ventilation can help achieve a comfortable
and healthy living environment and may even save you heating
costs.
The interaction of temperature and
air humidity
If the room air is too humid, ventilation would at first appear nonsensical in the winter, when the outside air is also cold, damp and
just as humid.
Cold air however, can absorb little or no moisture. When this air
enters the living areas it becomes warmer. And then the air can
absorb much more water vapour. After just a few minutes of giving
a room an airing, you can see on the digital display how the relative
humidity goes down.

+ 12 10.7
+ 18 15.4
+ 24 21.8
* at 100 % air humidity
Dew-point
This interdependency of temperature and relative humidity is
expressed by means of the dew-point:
If the air is cooled continuously at constant absolute humidity,
then the relative humidity will steadily increase up to a maximum of 100%. If the air is cooled further, then the excess water
vapour is separated out in the form of water droplets.
11

If the measuring unit indicates an air temperature of 20° C and a
relative humidity of 65%, then the dew-point temperature will be
13.2° C. What does that mean? That the air, for instance in your
bedroom, will condense and form water droplets at all points on
walls and ceilings that are cooler than 13.2° C, and that this may
later lead to patches of mould or damp.
If the air is at a relative humidity of say 40%, then the dew-point
temperature is only 6 °C. The walls and ceilings would therefore
have to be significantly colder for the air to reach its dew-point and
for water droplets to form.

How to achieve the correct temperature
and air humidity:
Tips for active heating and ventilation:
• Check the dew-point! Surfaces of walls should not fall below a
temperature of 15° C!
• Do not turn the heating completely off when going out.
• Ventilate in all weather conditions, even if it's raining.
• Open the windows for a short time (room airing). A partially open
window, for instance in the tilted position, does not have the desired effect, wastes heating energy and can even promote the formation of mould.

Staande of hangend:
Het toestel heeft achteraan een ronde opening waarmee u het aan
de muur kunt hangen. Met het meegeleverde voetstuk kunt u het
toestel staande plaatsen.
Aangezien de vochtigheidsgraden in ruimtes van de standplaats
afhangen en sterk kunnen variëren dient u het controletoestel zo
dicht mogelijk bij de probleemsituatie te plaatsen.
Batterij vervangen:
Maak het batterijvak open en plaats de batterijen (2 x 1,5 V AA).
Let op: Lege batterijen horen niet bij het huisvuil. Geef deze a.u.b.
bij bevoegde verzamelplaatsen of bij de winkel af.
Afvoeren van lege batterijen
U bent als eindverbruiker volgens de KCA-voorschriften wettelijk
verplicht alle lege batterijen en accu's in te leveren; verwijdering via
het huisvuil is niet toegestaan!
Op batterijen/accu´s die schadelijke stoffen bevatten,
vindt u de hiernaast vermelde symbolen. Deze mogen
niet via het huisvuil worden verwijderd.
De aanduidingen voor de uitslaggevende zware meta-
len zijn: Cd = cadmium, Hg = kwik, Pb = lood.
Lege batterijen en niet meer oplaadbare accu's kunt u
gratis inleveren bij de verzamelplaatsen van uw
gemeente, onze filialen of andere verkooppunten van
batterijen en accu's!
Afvoeren
Oude elektronische apparaten bevatten waardevolle
materialen en behoren niet in het huisvuil. Breng het
onbruikbaar geworden apparaat volgens de geldende
wettelijke voorschriften naar de gemeentelijke plaats
voor afvalinzameling.

• If the room air is too dry, particularly in wintertime, then electrical
air humidifiers are recommended, since airing at low outside temperatures will tend to decrease the humidity further.
Duration of airing
• A few minutes are mostly sufficient. Check the value indicated on
your COMFORT CONTROL!
Operation:
Startup:
Remove the battery safety strip. Pull off the protection foil on the
display. The unit is now ready to use.
Display:
The left row shows the indoor relative humidity, the middle row the
room temperature and the right row the dew point. The temperature
unit can be changed from °C to °F by the °C/°F-button at the backside.
If the air humidity exceeds 65 % there is a risk of mould formation; a
frowning face will appear on the display and an alarm signal is sounded. The acoustic signal can be muted by operating the sliding
switch on the rear-side.
MAX/MIN temperatures:
• Press the MAX/MIN button and the highest temperature and
humidity is displayed since the last reset.
• Press the MAX/MIN button again, the display shows the lowest
temperature and humidity since the last reset.
• To go back to the present values, press the MAX/MIN button
once more.
• Press the RESET button to reset the MAX/MIN values to the present temperature.
Placing or hanging up the unit:
A circular opening is provided on the rear-side of the unit for hanging on the wall. To place the unit in the standing position use the
foot supplied with the unit.
13

Since the humidity level within rooms can vary greatly according to
the location, mount the unit so that it will monitor the conditions in a
location likely to be subject to the most problems.
Battery replacement:
Open the battery compartment and insert 2 batteries 1.5 V AA. Close the battery compartment.
Attention: Do not dispose of empty batteries in household waste.
Take them to special local collection sites.
Disposal of flat batteries
You as the consumer are legally obligated (battery ordinance) to
return all spent batteries and accumulators; disposal in the house-
hold waste is prohibited.
Batteries/accumulators containing hazardous sub-
stances are marked by the opposite symbols. These
symbols also indicate that it is prohibited to dispose of
these batteries in the household waste.
The codes for the heavy metals concerned are: Cd =
cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.
You can return flat batteries / accumulators free of
charge to the collection points in your community, our
branches or anywhere else where batteries or accumulators are sold.
Disposal
Old electronic devices are valuable materials and may
not be disposed of in the household waste. Dispose of
the appliance at the end of its service life in accordance with the valid statutory regulations at the communal
collection points.

Wordt lucht continu afgekoeld, stijgt bij onveranderlijke absolu-
te luchtvochtigheid de relatieve luchtvochtigheid tot 100%.
Koelt de lucht verder af wordt de overtollige waterdamp in de
vorm van druppels afgescheiden.
Duidt het meetinstrument een luchttemperatuur van 20 °C en een
relatieve vochtigheid van 65 % aan, bedraagt de dauwpunttempe-
ratuur 13,2 °C. Wat betekent dit ? De lucht, bijvoorbeeld in de slaap-
kamer, condenseert noodgedrongen op alle plaatsen die koeler dan
13,2 °C zijn. Zo vormen zich op de muur of op het plafond water-
druppels die later schimmel of stokvlekken kunnen veroorzaken.
Bevat de lucht bijvoorbeeld slechts 40 % vocht ligt haar dauwpunt
bij 6 °C. De muren of het plafond moeten dus merkelijk kouder zijn
om de lucht haar dauwpunt te laten bereiken zodat zich waterdrup-
pels vormen.

Tips voor actieve verwarming en verluchting:
• De dauwpunt in het oog houden ! Wandoppervlakken niet onder
15 °C laten afkoelen !
• De verwarming nooit volledig afzetten indien u afwezig bent.
• Bij alle weersomstandigheden verluchten, ook bij regen.
