Up and Running Overview
Introduction
The QUESTempº 34/36 models are portable heat stress monitors that are designed to be rugged,
easy-to use instruments to quickly and accurately assess the potential for individual heat stress
based on environmental conditions.
QUESTempº Models
The QUESTempº 34 and QUESTempº 36 models measure and calculate the dry bulb
temperature, wet bulb temperature, globe temperature, WBGT indoor index, WBGT outdoor
index, relative humidity, and Heat Index or Humidex. These models support RS-232
communications and works with the optional software analysis program, TSI Detection
Management Software (DMS).
With the QUESTempº 36, you have the capability to display stay times in order to manage
work/rest regimens. Guidance is based on the screening criteria for heat stress as defined in the
ACGIH TLV Handbook, U.S. Navy PHEL charts, and EPRI Action Limits. (See Appendix B for
detailed chart information.)
An additional feature with the QUESTempº 36 is an optional detachable air-probe for measuring
air velocity (wind speed) to determine appropriate levels of indoor thermal comfort monitoring.
