19.2.3 About the Insulation isotherm

The Insulation isotherm can detect areas where there may be an insulation deficiency in

the building. It will trigger when the insulation level (which is called thermal index in the

camera) falls below a preset value of the energy leakage through a wall.

Different building codes recommend different values for insulation level, but typical val-

ues are 60-80% for new buildings. Refer to your national building code for

recommendations.

Follow this procedure:

1. Push

to display the menu system.

2. Use the joystick to go to

3. Push the joystick to display a submenu.

4. Use the joystick to go to

5. Push the joystick. This will display a submenu.

6. In the submenu, select Humidity. This will display a dialog box where you can set the

necessary parameters:

• Atmospheric temperature: The current atmospheric temperature.

• Relative humidity: The current relative humidity.

• Relative humidity limit: The relative humidity level at which you want the alarm to

be triggered. 100% means that the humidity falls out as liquid water (= dewpoint).

7. Push the joystick.

The setup is now complete, and an isotherm will be displayed when the parameters

are met.
