Product Description

Bosch PTD 1 Thermal Detector

A Measurement Instrument for the Entire Home!

The new innovative PTD 1 thermal detector is a versatile measurement instrument which enables users to quickly identify hidden thermal bridges and mould risk areas.

This user friendly detector uses contactless infrared temperature measurement to determine the exact temperature of any surface, helping find hot or cold spots, places mould may form inside the home.

The PTD 1 has been developed to help maintain the optimum room temperature in home spaces, whilst saving energy by stopping heat from escaping through gaps in window frames and cold spots in wall and loft insulation.

Thermal bridges are not always visible to the naked eye. Using the “thermal bridge mode”, this will help detect temperature difference, compared to ambient room temperature. Inadvertently helping you search for hidden cost factors, such as heating costs, and identifies the areas where you need to take action to eliminate them, making you home more energy efficient!

Applications of the PTD 1


Mould Warning Mode:A room that has excess humidity, such as a bathroom, laundry room or even a cold spare room can be a place where mould may form. Find the likely places it may occur and take preventative action in advance!


Surface Temperature Mode:The PTD 1 can help identify hot or cold spots in radiators as well as air conditioning units. It is easy to use and works at the push of a button, helping you maintain the optimum room temperature.


Thermal Bridge Mode:Stop heat escaping by finding gaps in window frames, cold spots in wall insulation or poor insulation in lofts. To find this you use the “thermal bridge mould” to detect temperature difference within the room.

From the manufacturer

Bosch Home and Garden Bosch PTD 1 Thermal Detector

Key product features

  • Easy measurement of surface and room temperatures and humidity
  • Fast locating of thermal bridges and mould risk areas
  • Easy handling due to automatic analysis and interpretation of the measuring results
  • Easy-to-understand buttons and display symbols
  • Laser circle marks the measuring area

The Bosch PTD 1 thermo detector detects thermal bridges and mould risk areas. At the press of a button, it analyses poorly insulated windows or locates uninsulated areas on exterior walls. Depending on the mode, the PTD 1 measures room temperature, surface temperature of walls and objects, and humidity, and interprets the data.

This is performed by means of three sensors and Bosch-developed software. Using a traffic light system, the three-colour LED provides a clear recommended course of action.

Product Details

Bosch PTD 1 thermo detector

The PTD 1 thermo detector from Bosch indicates thermal bridges and mould risk areas quickly and easily at the press of a button. This enables you to effortlessly locate poorly insulated windows or uninsulated areas in exterior walls. According to which mode is selected, the tool measures room temperature, surface temperature of walls and objects, and humidity, assesses these values in relation to each other and interprets the data. This made possible by three sensors and Bosch-developed software. The result is shown to the user in a traffic light system by three coloured LED lights. Red, yellow or green light makes it clear whether action needs to be taken.

Reveals critical areas in the entire house

The PTD 1 thermo detector from Bosch enables home owners to quickly and easily determine where thermal bridges and mould risk areas are hiding – before they begin with renovation. This saves time and protects the health of the whole family. Thanks to its classical pistol shape, this tool is easy to handle and sits comfortably in the hand during every measurement. At the press of a button, a laser circle marks the measuring area on the wall or object. The maximum working range of the PTD 1 is 5 m, and a measuring distance of 1 m is optimal. The tool is switched on either using a button on the control panel or using the switch on the handle. The result is displayed using three LEDs: Red means acute risk, yellow means increased risk, green means no risk.

Easy measurement quickly provides the result

The PTD 1 thermo detector from Bosch is operated using only a few buttons. It has three modes: In the first mode, the tool measures the surface temperature of walls and objects, such as radiators, with a measuring accuracy of ±1° C. This is enables you determine, for example, whether radiators or air conditioners are working properly. In the second mode, the PTD 1 measures surface and room temperature and determines whether thermal bridges occur at the measured location. If a thermal bridge has been discovered, the tool warns you of this using a red LED. In the third mode, the thermo detector measures the room and surface temperature and the humidity with an accuracy of ±2%. It uses these three values to detect mould risk areas. If it detects a risk, the tool warns you with a red LED.
