1  Introduction 

Thank you for purchasing a PCE-DPT 1 dew point scanner from PCE Instruments. 
This device can be used anywhere where there is a certain risk of mould formation. This device is 
basically an infrared thermometer with an integrated humidity meter. The two sensors measure the 
parameters relevant for the determination of dew points. If the dew point is reached or fallen below, mould 
formation can occur. When the dew point sensor starts, the room temperature and atmospheric humidity 
can be measured. The dew point then serves as a reference for infrared measurements at places with a 
high risk of mould. The energy saving detector then indicates the places with poor insulation possibly 
causing damp stains and possible mould formation. 
 
Delivery content: 1 x dew point scanner PCE-DPT 1, 1 x case, 1 x 9 V block battery 1 x manual 

2  Safety information 

Please read this manual carefully and completely before you use the device for the first time. The device

warranty of damages or injuries caused by non-observance of the manual.

 

 
- The device may only be used in approved temperature and humidity ranges as stated in the 
specifications. Extreme temperatures, direct exposure to sunlight, extreme atmospheric humidity or 
moisture (e. g. wet hands) must be avoided. 

The case must only be opened by qualified personnel of PCE Instruments. 

 

- The instrument should never be placed with the user interface facing an object (e.g. keyboard side on a 
table). 
- You should not make any technical changes to the device. 
- The appliance should only be cleaned with a damp cloth / use only pH-neutral cleaner, no abrasives or 
solvents. 
- Only use the device along with PCE accessories or equivalent. 

The appliance must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. 

- Before any measurement, check the device by measuring a known factor. 
- The measurand set points laid down in the specifications may under no circumstances be exceeded. 

Never target at people / people’s eyes. 

- The laser pointer must not be targeted in the direction of explosive gases. 
- Always check whether the correct measurement range has been set before you start the measurement. 
- The device is for indoor use. 
 
This manual is published by PCE Instruments without any guarantee.
