Page 5: Up And Running
Check Wick and Fill Natural Wet Bulb The QUESTemp 32 uses a cotton wick immersed into a reservoir containing distilled water. DO NOT use ordinary tap water, as the contaminants that are left behind after evaporation will shorten the life of the wick and cause high readings. If the wick is discolored, it should be replaced. -
Page 6: Measurements
Measurements Measurements QUESTemp32 Measurements QUESTemp32 The QUESTemp32 portable area heat stress monitor computes the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT). The WBGT is an accepted measurement for determining the heat stress level imposed on an individual in a given environment. The QUESTemp32 measures three parameters: ambient or dry bulb temperature (DB), natural wet bulb temperature (WB), and globe temperature (G). -
Page 7: Heat Index / Humidex
Measurements Heat Index / Humidex Heat Index / Humidex The Heat Index is determined using the dry bulb temperature and relative humidity. Based upon charts available from the U.S. National Weather Service, Heat Index represents how an average person feels relative to climate conditions. For a constant temperature, if the humidity rises, so does the heat index. -

Page 10: Placement For Monitoring/Testing
Placement for Monitoring/Testing Placement Natural Wet Bulb Thermometer Placement for Monitoring/Testing The QUESTemp° 32 should be placed at a height of 3.5 feet (1.1 m) for standing individuals or 2 feet (.6 m) for seated individuals. Tripod mounting is recommended to get the unit away from anything that might block radiant heat or air flow. -
Page 11: Dry Bulb Thermometer
Sensors Dry Bulb Thermometer Dry Bulb Thermometer The dry bulb thermometer measures the ambient air temperature. This measurement is used in the outdoor WBGT calculation when a high solar radiant heat load may be present. The series of white plates surrounding the sensor shield it from radiant heat. Relative Humidity Sensor A relative humidity sensor is located in a compartment inside of the sensor bar housing. -
