4.5 Condensator
The Condensator Mode enables the user to assess the risk of condensation
occurring on surfaces or to confirm whether or not condensation is present on
a surface.
The MMS2 can be used as a Condensato r using two modes:
4.5a Surface Temperature Probe (Contact Based) - Selection
and Use
Navigate to
SELECT MODE -> SURFACE TEMPERATURE PROBE
and press to
select the Surface Temperature Probe mode.
In this mode, the MMS2 measures the surface temperature using an external
Surface Temperature probe inserted into socket
C
and making contact with the
surface to be assessed. In addition to the Surface Temperature probe, connect
a Humidity probe into socket
A
for the MMS2 to show the Condensation
status.
TDIFF
is a useful function when investigating condensation, as it tells the user
how many degrees a surface temperature is above or below the prevailing dew
point temperature.
4.5b Surface Temperature IR (Non-Contact Based) - Selection
and Use
In this mode, the MMS2 measures surface temperature using IR technology
Connect a humidity probe into socket
A
.
Hold the button to enable the IR Thermometer . Release the button and
press it again within 1 second to enable the
LASER
pointer. The
LASER
pointer
will indicate the area on the surface where the measurement is being taken
(see
Figure 5 on page 14 ).
