The ThermCondSys 5500 is user friendly system for measuring, calculating and logging thermal comfort parameters
at four levels at the same time in moderate, hot and cold environments. It has been developed to meet the growing need
for indoor climate monitoring equipment such as:
-mobility (moving from place to place)
-easy fast configuration (connection)
-low power consumption and long logging time
-automatic sleeping mode and auto turning off
-wire-less communication between computer and devices.
ThermCondSys5500 offers simultaneous measurement following parameters depending on the system configuration
of measuring modules.

tgc: corrected globe temperature
tnw: natural wet temperature
ta: air temperature
ts: supplementary temperature
va: air speed
RH: relative humidity
Pb: barometric pressure
WBGTin: wet bulb globe temperature
WBGTout: wet bulb globe temperature
in the presence of radiation
SD: standard deviation of air speed
DR: draught rating
Tu: turbulence intensity of air speed
tr: mean radiant temperature
tadb: adjusted dry-bulb temperature
to: operative temperature
teq: equivalent temperature
PMV: predicted mean vote
PPD: predicted percentage of dissatisfied
pa: partial water vapour pressure in the air
x: humidity ratio
air density
DEW: dew point temperature
i: enthalpy for humid air
Ereq:required evaporation rate
Emax: maximum evaporation rate
Wreq: required skin wettedness
SWreq: required sweat rate
twc : wind chill temperature
IREQ: required clothing insulation (minimal
and neutral)
ICL: required basic thermal insulation (minimal
and neutral) according to ISO 9920
DLE: duration limited exposure (minimal and
neutral)
Because the humidity RH and barometric pressure Pbare the same on the each level you can use measuring
configuration consisting of one SensoTCMod 5506 (SensoTCMod 5507) module and two or three SensoTCMod 5503
modules. ThermCondSys5000 is in compliant with following standards: ISO 7726, ISO 7730, ISO 13182, ISO 7243,
ISO 7933, ISO 9920, ISO11079 and ASHRAE 55.

Mount the measurement modules on a tripod.
Connect measurement modules with cables (an example: SensoCable 5601).
Connect one of the measurement module with SensoConnectUSB interface or SensoBee wire-less transmitter.
Connect the power supply adaptor to the SensoConnectUSB interface (SensoBee wire-less transmitter) or turn
on the power supply in the SensoBee transmitter (see Chapter 4C). The LED diode on the top of the
measurement modules should blink first for a few seconds and next light up continuously. If the LED diode
blinks permanently it means that the voltage of power supply is too small or batteries placed in the PowerBank
are used up.
Connect the SensoConnectUSB interface (SensoBeeUSB receiver) to the USB port in a computer. The LED
diode on the casing should light up continuously (for SensoConnectUSB) or blink (for SensoBeeUSB).
