Protimeter MMS2 Instruction Manual
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 Condensator 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).
