suggestions for Placement of the unit

There is an opening on the back of the unit, which allows it to be easily

hung from the wall. In addition, a base is provided for the unit to be

placed on any surface in a standing position.

Since the humidity level within rooms can vary greatly, the Mold

Alert should be placed in an area most likely subject to mold growth.

Problem areas are often basements, closets, surfaces near windows

and exterior walls. Anywhere in a home that is damp or has suffered

from water damage is also a prime location for mold growth.

Three values of measurement are displayed simultaneously.

The left column shows the indoor relative humidity (%), the middle

column indicates room temperature (°C/°F), and the right column

displays the dew point (Td).

The temperature can be displayed either in Fahrenheit or Celsius by

adjusting the °C/°F switch on the back of the unit. The audio alarm can

be activated using the “Al On / Al Off” switch on the back of the unit.

Risk of mold formation occurs at humidity levels exceeding 65%. When

this point is reached, the frowning face icon on the display will light up.

If the audio alarm is activated, it will also sound. An arrow pointing up

will be flashing next to the relative humidity display. The audio alarm

can be silenced by pressing any button.

When humidity levels are reduced below 65% the frowning face icon

will stop flashing and the alarm (if activated) will be silenced. The arrow

pointing up display will persist to indicate high humidity levels have

occured in the past. The arrow pointing up display can be reset by

pressing any button.
