DIMENSION

Completely read through the operating instructions, the „Warranty and Additional Information“ booklet as well as the latest information under the internet link at the end of these instructions. Follow the instructions they contain. This document must be kept in a safe place and passed on together with the device.

Function/Application

The CondenseSpot Pro is an infrared temperature measuring device with integrated hygrometer and a Bluetooth®* interface for transferring measured data. Non-contact temperature measurement of surfaces is realised by measuring and evaluating the amount of electromagnetic energy in the infrared wavelength range. The device can also be used to measure all relevant climate data and calculate the dew point. This makes it possible to assess thermal bridges and condensation moisture.

• Modifications or changes to the device are not permitted, this will otherwise invalidate the approval and safety specifications.
• Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures, moisture or significant vibration.
• The device must no longer be used if one or more of its functions fail or the battery charge is weak.
• When using the device outdoors, make sure that the weather conditions are appropriate and/or that suitable protection measures are taken.
• Please ensure compliance with the safety regulations set out by local and national authorities with regard to the correct and proper use of the device.

ON / OFF

The device can also be switched on with the alarm function button (3). No measurement is triggered and the last measured values are displayed.

Auto switch-off after 30 seconds.

Make sure that the humidity/ambient temperature sensor (4) is folded in during transport

Infrared temperature measurement / continuous measurement / Hold

For continuous measurement activate the laser (see figure) and keep the button pressed.

Release the button as soon as the target laser pinpoints the measurement location. The measured value is held (Hold).

Infrared temperature: Setting the emissivity

An integrated sensor head detects the material/surface-specific infrared radiation emitted by all objects. The level of these emissions is determined by the specific emissivity of the material (0,01 to 1,00).
After switching on for the first time, the device is preset to an emissivity factor of 0.95, which is suitable for most organic materials and non-metals (plastics, ceramics, wood, rubber, paints, varnishes and stone). For materials with different emissivity factors, refer to the table under Point 6.
Wherever possible, paint or matt black stickers can be applied on non-coated metals and metal oxides, which due to their low, temperature-unstable emissivity are suitable for IR measurement only for a limited extent, as well as on surfaces with unknown emissivity in order to set the emissivity factor to 0.95. If this is not possible, use a contact thermometer.

The emissivity last selected is set after the device is switched on. Check the emissivity setting before each measurement.

Infrared temperature: MAX/MIN temperature

MAX/MIN mode refers to the infrared temperature and shows the maximum and minimum infrared temperature. The MAX/MIN values are determined while measuring when the trigger (8) is pressed. The value is deleted and calculated again at the start of a new measurement or by pressing the trigger (8).

Room climate – measured values

The measuring device features a fold-out sensor that measures the ambient temperature and relative humidity while also calculating the dew point temperature. By folding out the sensor, the improved through-flow of air speeds up the measurement procedure.

When changing location and/or where there are large differences in the room climate, it is important to give the measuring device time to adapt until the measured values in the display have stabilized.

The measured ambient temperature and relative humidity values are and is not dependent on when the trigger button is pressed.

Condensation warning

The dew point temperature is the point the temperature must drop below for the air to precipitate its water vapour in the form of droplets, mist or dew. Condensation water therefore occurs for example when the temperature of an inside wall or window reveal is lower than the dew point temperature of the room. These areas are then damp and are a breeding ground for mildew/mould with possible material damage.

The CondenseSpot Pro calculates the dew point with the integrated sensors for ambient temperature and relative humidity. At the same time, the surface temperature of objects is determined with the aid of infrared temperature measurement. By comparing these temperature it is possible to identify areas that are exposed to the risk of condensation moisture. The condensation moisture indicator (b) displays the result in the form of a bar graph, supported by visual and acoustic signals indicating the high probability of condensation moisture occurring.

The condensation moisture indicator (b) is shown in all modes.
The device therefore constantly shows the risk level of condensation moisture.
The visual and acoustic signals can be turned off by pressing the alarm function button (3). The symbols “ ” (m) and “ ” (n) indicate whether the alarm function is active or not.

Thermal bridge warning

In relation to buildings, the term thermal bridge refers to an area, e.g. an inside wall, at which heat is transferred outwards faster than at the rest of the inside wall. When viewed from the inside, the temperature of this area is lower than the surrounding areas and when viewed from outside higher than the surrounding areas. This often indicates faulty or inadequate insulation.

For this purpose, the CondenseSpot Pro compares the ambient temperature with the surface temperature. If there are large differences in both temperatures, the device will trigger warnings in 2 stages:
The “ ” symbol flashes at the threshold or the display illumination changes to ‘blue’ or ‘red’ if the differential is significant.

The visual and acoustic signals can be turned off by pressing the alarm function button (3). The symbols “ ” (m) and “ ” (n) indicate whether the alarm function is active or not.

Data transfer

The device features a Bluetooth® function that enables wireless data transfer to mobile devices with a Bluetooth® interface (such as a smartphone or tablet).
The system prerequisites for a Bluetooth® connection are specified at
http://laserliner.com/info?an=ble
The device can set up a Bluetooth® connection with Bluetooth 4.0 compatible devices.
The range is set to a maximum distance of 10 m from the terminal device and greatly depends on the ambient conditions such as the thickness and composition of walls, sources of interference as well as the transmit / receive properties of the terminal device.
Once it has been activated, Bluetooth®* remains switched on indefinitely as the radio system is designed with exceptionally low power consumption.
A mobile device can link up to the active measuring device via an app.

Application (app)

An app is required to use the Bluetooth®* function. You can download the app from the corresponding stores for the specific type of terminal device:

Make sure that the Bluetooth®* interface of the mobile device is activated.

After starting the app, a connection can be set up between a mobile device and the measuring device. If the app detects several active measuring devices, select the matching device.
This measuring device can be connected automatically the next time it is switched on.
