3.1.3. Dew Point
The dew point measurements
enable a quick and clear detection of
thermal bridging and condensation
probability surfaces. By the ratio of
surface temperature to relative
humidity (RH%) can locate the
danger of mould infestation in a
housing.
In this mode, no values are stored.
The display of the individual
measured values can be in the
submenu
"SETTING.
MEASUREMENTS "on and off
Pressing the shutter button starts
the display of measurement data
such as infrared temperature, air
temperature (AT),
relative humidity (RH), dew point temperature (DP), the wet bulb
temperature (WB), differential temperature (DIF), average
temperature (AVG) , Type-K contact temperature probe (TK) and
the minimum and maximum values (MIN, MAX)
In addition, dew point Messodus general information such as
date / time, battery charge, lasers are shown ON / OFF (
☼
),
record / pause (

II) and the emission factor (
ε
).
In addition, at the bottom of the screen a dew point bar graph
appears, showing the measured IR-temperature values in
relation to relative humidity (RH%). The figure ranges from blue
to 0% (low rate of condensation) to red and 100% (high
condensation rate). Ideally, the display is at 0%. Cool in room
corners or other thermal bridges and high humidity, the meter
will be made in the yellow and red. This measurement can now
be measures to eliminate thermal bridges and take the resulting
wet surfaces.
