Cross-section Assembly of the Custos Aeris modules

Installation instructions for Custos Aeris 


Custos Aeris was developed in such a way that installation and mounting of the dew point monitor can be realised quickly and easily. Particularly important here is that no power supply cables and no sensor cables have to be laid. The sensors are integrated in a main module and an air gap module. The built-in rechargeable battery allows the system to run for at least one year and is constantly recharged by sunlight in favourable conditions. Communication takes place via the mobile network, just like with a mobile phone, and the data is stored in the cloud once a day. There, the data can be viewed at any time via a web browser.

The following picture shows a cross-section of the structure in a typical situation of protective glazing and historically valuable lead glazing:






The main module is clipped into the cover rail towards the interior and the air gap module is located in the space between the protective glazing and the lead glazing and is also only clipped into the cover rail on the air gap side. For this purpose, the upper element of the lead glazing is taken out and mounted again after it has been clipped in. The main module is then switched on and that is all.

The following picture shows such an arrangement from the front on a table model.


The positions of the modules in relation to each other can be selected as desired. It is only limited by the maximum length of the connecting cable (5000 mm) between the modules. However, care must be taken that the non-contact temperature sensors do not look onto a lead rod. In order to monitor also the heating up of the historic glas due to sun-radiation it is necessary to have a slight displacement of the two modules as shown in the picture above.


The type of installation of the main module can be seen quite well in the next picture.


The clipping of the air gap module is shown in the following picture.


 And the last picture shows the side view of both modules in the tabletop model.




The two modules are connected via a cable that is laid between the two cover rails.
In total, the installation of Custos Aeris requires about 5 minutes of work (without removing and reassembling the upper lead glazing element). Anyone can install it themselves and no specialists are needed. It is worth emphasising once again that no power or sensor cables need to be laid. Simply hook it in, switch it on and you're done.

Unsere neue Webseite ist fertig: Schimmel und Kondensat in historischen Gebäuden Schadenvorbeugung, Schadenerkennung und Schadenkontrolle

Das Klima ändert sich in den nächsten Jahren deutlich. Lufttemperatur und relative Feuchte fuehren zunehmend zu Schimmel und Kondensat. Der durch Menschen mitverursachte Klimawandel wird bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts nicht nur die mittlere Lufttemperatur erhoehen, sondern auch zu einem erheblichen Anstieg der relativen Luftfeuchte fuehren. Dies bedeutet unmittelbar eine Bedrohung der Innenausstattungen von Kirchen und anderen historisch wertvollen Kulturguetern. Feuchte Luft in Kontakt zu kalten Objekten fuehrt zu Kondensation von in der Luft geloestem Wasserdampf. In Kirchen und anderen historischen Gebäuden speichern die massiven Wände die Kälte des Winters und der Nacht. Im Sommer, wenn warme feuchte Luft durch falsche Lueftung ins Innere der Gebäude gelangt, kann dies sogar zu Nebel und/oder Schwitzwasser fuehren. In vielen Fällen ist dies die Ursache von Schäden z.B. an historischen Glasfenstern, an Altären, Orgeln, Gemälden, Schreinen, Teppichen und sonstigen Objekten. Das Risiko...

How can cultural heritage be managed in times of climate change? Conference Bamberg, Germany, Date: February 27th/28th 2023

Long-term measurements of climate in the dome of Xanten and measurements on historic surfaces to predict damage risks on historical windows and mould risk on several historic altars in Xanten Johannes Schubert et.al. (cathedral builder Xanten), Rolf Becker (university Rhein-Waal)  and Hans Daams The current and future assessment of the indoor climate in Xanten cathedral and their effect on damages   of historical furnishings requires an extensive measurement strategy throughout the cathedral and on respective objects inside the cathedral. In cooperation with the university of Rhein-Waal this has been done now for more than three years.  This paper is focusing on in-situ measurements of historical surfaces. The valuable stained glass from the Middle Ages and the historical Petrus Altar are selected as examples of measurements and risk assessment. The impact of climate and sun on the protective glazing was measured for a period of 3 years. Data were collected for te...
