Placement for Monitoring/Testing  

The QUESTempº 34 & 36 model should be placed at a height of 3.5 feet (1.1 m) for standing 

individuals or 2 feet (.6 m) for seated individuals. Tripod mounting is recommended to get the unit 

away from anything that might block radiant heat or air flow. A 1/4" x 20 threaded bushing on the 

bottom of the instrument allows mounting to a standard photographic tripod. 

DO NOT

 stand close to 

the unit during sampling. 

 

NOTE

:  Before measuring, allow 10 minutes for the sensors readings to stabilize.
