ture in line a, the calculated dew point temperature in line c

and the measured surface temperature in line l.

The measuring tool automatically compares the values and in-

terprets the results as follows:

– Green signal LED 8: No risk of mould under the current

conditions.

– Yellow signal LED 8: The values are in the limit range; pay

attention to room temperature, humidity and heat bridges,

and repeat the measurement at a later point of time as re-

quired.

– Red signal LED 8: There is an increased risk of mould, as

the dew point temperature is significantly higher than the

surface temperature, or because the humidity is too high.

The flashing symbol for relative humidity d indicates too

high humidity in the room,

the flashing symbol for ambient temperature e indicates

too low room temperature,

the flashing symbol for surface temperature h indicates

thermal bridges.

When the risk of mould is given, you should – depending on the

cause – reduce the humidity through more frequent and thor-

ough ventilation, increase the room temperature and eliminate

thermal bridges. If required, refer to a building expert.

Note: The measuring tool cannot detect mould spores. It only

indicates the possible formation of mould when the condi-

tions remain the same.

Troubleshooting – Causes and Corrective

Measures

All of the following error messages in the display are accom-

panied by the red signal LED 8.

Measuring Tool not Acclimatized

The measuring tool was exposed

to severe variations in tempera-

ture and did not have enough time

to adapt.

The measuring tool switches off

automatically after 5 seconds.

Wait approx. 10 to 30 minutes

until the measuring tool has adapted to the current tempera-

tures. The acclimatization is accelerated when the measuring

tool is periodically moved around in the room.

Ambient Temperature not in Operating-temperature

Range

The ambient temperature is too

high or too low for operation of the

measuring tool. The measuring

tool switches off after 5 seconds;

taking measurements in this envi-

ronment is not possible.

Surface Temperature not within the Measuring Range

The surface temperature of the object in the laser circle is too

high (“Hi”) or too low (“Lo”). The temperature of this object

cannot be measured. Point the laser circle to another object

and start a new measurement.

Internal Error

The measuring tool has an inter-

nal error and switches off after

5 seconds.

To reset the software, remove the

batteries, wait a few seconds and

then insert the batteries again.

If the error continues, have the measuring tool checked by an

authorised Bosch after-sales service.

Definitions

Emissivity Degree

The emissivity degree of an object depends on the material

and the structure of its surface. It indicates whether an object

(in comparison with other objects with the same tempera-

ture) emits much or little infrared heat radiation.

Thermal Bridge

A thermal bridge is defined as an object that undesirably

transmits heat from one side to the other.

As the surface temperature at thermal bridges is lower than in

the rest of the room, the risk of mould increases significantly

at these locations.

Relative Humidity

The relative humidity provides information on how intensive

the air is saturated with water vapour. It is stated as a percent-

age of the maximum amount of water vapour that the air can

absorb. The maximum amount of water vapour depends on

the temperature: The higher the temperature, the more

amount of water vapour the air can absorb.

When the relative humidity is too high, the risk of mould in-

creases. Too low humidity can lead to health impairments.

Dew Point Temperature

The dew point temperature indicates the temperature at

which the water vapour in the air starts to condense. The dew

point temperature depends on the relative humidity and the

air temperature.

When the temperature of a surface is below the dew point

temperature, water begins to condense on this surface. The

larger the difference of both temperatures and the higher the

relative humidity, the greater the condensation.

Condensate on surfaces is a major cause for the formation of

mould.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Store and transport the measuring tool only in the supplied

protective pouch 16. Do not, as an example, store the meas-

uring tool in a plastic bag, as the evaporation could damage

the humidity and temperature sensor 1. Do not attach stick-

ers onto the measuring tool close to the sensor.
