MOLD DETECTOR
Infrared Thermometer with dew point
Thank you for choosing this instrument from TFA.
1. Before you use this product
• Please make sure you read the instruction manual carefully.
This information will help you to familiarize yourself with your new device, to
learn all of its functions and parts, to find out important details about its first
use and how to operate it and to get advice in the event of a malfunction.
• Following and respecting the instructions in your manual will prevent dam-
age to your instrument and loss of your statutory rights arising from defects
due to incorrect use.

ing of these instructions. Likewise, we take no responsibility for any incor-
rect readings or for any consequences resulting from them.
• Please take particular note of the safety advice!
• Please keep this instruction manual safe for future reference.
2. Range of application and all the benefits of your new instrument at a
glance
• Imminent risk of mold can be located at a glance.
• Contact-free measuring of surface temperature (of walls, floors, ceilings)
• Measuring of the ambient temperature and relative humidity
• Calculation of the dew point (further cooling of air leads to condensation)
• Visual indication of the dew point status with LED indicator lights (green/
yellow/red)
• Bar graph shows risk of mould
• Double laser sighting shows the exact spot size area
• Backlight
3. Delivery contents
• Infrared thermometer
• Storage bag
4. For your safety

• Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The
uncontrolled reflected beam may strike people or animals
• Do not aim too close at hot or hazardous targets.
• Keep this device and the battery out of reach of children.
• Batteries must not be thrown into a fire, short-circuited, taken apart or
recharged. Risk of explosion!
• Batteries contain harmful acids. Low batteries should be changed as soon as
possible to prevent damage caused by leaking.
• Wear chemical-resistant protective gloves and safety glasses when handling
leaking batteries.
Important information on product safety!
• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, vibrations or shocks.
• Protect the device from high or abrupt temperature changes.
• Do not leave the device near objects of high temperature.
• Do not immerse the device in water. Water can penetrate and cause malfunc-
tion. Protect it from moisture.
• Check the housing before using the device. Do not use the device if it seems
to be damaged. Check for cracks or missing plastic parts.
• Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obstruct the unit optics and prevent accurate
measurement.

5. Measuring procedure
• Every object releases infrared energy. The optical detector senses the infrared
energy, converts this information into a digital reading and the surface tem-
perature is displayed.
• The device also displays the ambient temperature and humidity, from which
the dew point is calculated.
• The closer the value of the surface temperature is to the dew point tempera-
ture value, the higher the risk of mould formation on the measured surface.
