It's no secret that smartphones are an essential part of many people's lives, enabling them to stay in touch with friends, organise social activities and perform a range of other tasks all from a single device.
Roy Morgan Research recently revealed that 45 per cent of Australians admitted they can't live without their smartphone and 63 per cent use them to juggle their work and personal life.
Where these tools really provide optimal functionality is with their smartphone compatibility.
It shouldn't come as a shock, therefore, that smartphone technology is helping to bring a new level of sophistication and convenience to ventilation testing and measurement solutions through the testo VAC Smart Probe Set.
The four-piece kit enables technicians to measure relative humidity, wet bulb and dew point temperatures, volume flow and air velocity to maximise the performance of ventilation systems. Let's delve a little deeper into what is included with the set and what smart features it possesses.
Comprehensive ventilation measurement
The VAC Smart Probe Set contains two anemometers – the testo 405i thermal anemometer and the testo 410i vane anemometer – to give you the ability to accurately measure in-duct airflow, as well as the flow from vents.
Meanwhile, the testo 605i thermohygrometer is designed to make the measurement of in-duct and room air humidity and temperature effortless, while also calculating dew point and wet-bulb temperatures.
Finally, the testo 805i infrared thermometer is a non-contact probe that you can use to monitor wall temperatures, in addition to fuse and component temperatures in AC systems. An innovative eight-point laser circle helps guide your measurements for pinpoint accuracy.
However, where these tools really provide optimal functionality is with their smartphone compatibility – a feature of all pieces of the VAC Smart Probe Set.
Make the most of your smartphone
Each tool wirelessly transmits readings through to the Smart Tools App – available on iPhone and Android devices – with the information displayed in table and chart formats. But the app also goes one step further to provide a variety of data analytics functions so that you can gain greater insight from measurement readings.
These features offer:
- Timed and multi-point mean calculation
- Volume flow calculation and comparison
- Automatic dew point and wet-bulb calculation
- A traffic light system to highlight areas susceptible to mould
All the information transmitted to your smartphone can be quickly sent via email as an Excel or PDF file for further efficiency gains while on the move.
This is just a small selection of the high-end features of the testo VAC Smart Probe Set. For more information, please get in touch today.
