Mold Alert ........................................................
introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the P0270 Mold Alert! Mold is as old as the Earth and it’s everywhere. Under the right set of conditions, it can actually start to grow inside your home. Some types of mold even contain mycotoxins (toxins produced by fungus-type organisms) which can be hazardous to your health. Mold can grow at humidity levels over 65%. If you keep the relative humidity in your home below 50%, mold growth can be inhibited.
overview If the air is at a relative humidity of 40%, then the dew-point temperature is only 43°F. The walls and ceilings would therefore have to be significantly colder for the air to reach its dew-point and for water droplets to form. How to achieve the correct temperature and air humidity: Tips for active heating and ventilation: ● Check the dew-point! Surfaces of walls should not fall below a temperature of 59°F.
set up 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.
Minimum/Maximum Temperatures ● The highest temperature and humidity values since the last reset can be displayed by pressing the Min/Max button on the right side of the Mold Alert. ● The lowest temperature and humidity levels since the last reset, can be displayed by pressing the Min/Max button a second time. ● The current values can be shown again by pressing the Min/Max button a third time.
