I'm brian with the hvac school podcast and this video is about how to do what's called the mold indication feature on the test. Oh smart probes, which comes in the new larger case everything's all in one. You need the 6:05 eye, which is the tool that I talk about all the time. Thermo hygrometer measures, wet bulb, dry, bulb, dew points and relative humidity and then also the 8:05 eye is an infrared thermometer and we select the mold indication application go in and edit the view make sure that it's set on the proper temperatures you can configure the measurement.

If you wanted to manually, enter your relative humidity and temperature, you could do that there if you turn on our infrared thermometer, that is the measuring area temperature in the room, the ambient, which is seventy three point: eight and the ambient relative humidity. It's correcting the wall. Relative humidity right now, you can see this bar up here on the top is green in the case that it's say that we have an emissivity of 0.9 five and that's actually perfect. But if you want to change that, all you have to do is look up.

The particular material that you're working on you know we have a bunch of those options right here. You can even input a manual emissivity and now we can go and we can actually measure on a wall that this point on the wall could build up moisture and you can see that we're all in the green here. If I were to point this at a colder area - and you can see, it immediately goes to a hundred percent relative humidity, so based on this temperature, if I leave this door, open condensation is going to build up. It will result in the m-word that I'm going to avoid saying anymore, but you can see it right up here at the top of the screen.

You can see that we're in the safe zone. That is the 605 I in the 805 I using the mold indication application from the tester smart probes, app thanks for watching.
