The Trotec T500 is a professional trade timber pin moisture meter.
It is designed to be used by timber/wood manufacturers, builders and constructors to determine the estimated % of moisture in the wood material.
Unlike many other models in it's price range, the T500 features a built-in wood species menu. Simply choose the type of species being measured from the Trotec Wood Species Guide, select the correct code from the in-built menu of the meter, and the T500 will automatically correct the reading.
In some cases, different species of wood can vary the readings up to 3%!
The T500 will also automatically correct for temperature compensation if the correct value is known. The operator can adjust the built-in temperature scale, with the meter correcting the reading for this variation.
The large dual value LCD screen displays the % of moisture. A hold mode allows individual measurements to be locked on the screen.
For best results, the T500 should be used with the optional T500H sliding hammer electrode. The 60mm
teflon insulated pins on the hammer electrode, help reduce the effect that timber treatments have on moisture meter readings (i.e. H1.2 Boron).
For pre-lining checks on new buildings, this is the recommended method to ensure the moisture readings are correct.
An optional calibration check block is available for user calibration checks.
The T500 and T500H hammer electrode are available for HIRE.
The Protimeter Mini is an easy to use timber pin moisture meter.
It is designed to be used by timber/wood manufacturers, builders and constructors to determine the estimated % of moisture in the wood material.
It features an LED "bar" colour coded scale for displaying the % of moisture.
For best results, the Mini should be used with the optional Protimeter Std or H/duty sliding hammer electrodes.
The 60mm
teflon insulated pins on the hammer electrodes, help reduce the effect that treated timbers have on moisture meter readings (i.e. H1.2 Boron).
For pre-lining checks on new buildings, this is the recommended method to ensure the moisture readings are correct.
The Mini is pre-calibrated and supplied with a wood calibration chart. This chart will allow the user to correct the timber reading for the right type of wood being measured (i.e. Radiata pine).
A simple cal-check is supplied for user calibration checks.

Optional Standard & Heavy Duty Sliding Hammer Electrodes
The Protimeter Surveymaster from GE Sensing, is a popular dual function
non invasive PLUS probe moisture meter.
The operator can utilise the non invasive mode for locating moisture related problem areas, then measure the % of moisture using the WME mode.
The Surveymaster features an LED "bar" colour coded scale plus a small LCD screen for displaying the % of moisture.
For best results, the Surveymaster should be used with the optional Protimeter Std or H/duty sliding hammer electrodes.
The 60mm
teflon insulated pins on the hammer electrodes, help reduce the effect that timber treatments have on moisture meter readings (i.e. H1.2 Boron).
For pre-lining checks on new buildings, this is the recommended method to ensure the moisture readings are correct.
The Surveymaster is pre-calibrated and supplied with a wood calibration chart. This chart will allow the user to correct the timber reading for the right type of wood being measured (i.e. Radiata pine).
A simple cal-check is supplied for user calibration checks.
Product specifications . - Measurement Method: Capacitance (non invasive) AND Resistance (pin mode) - Probe length: 10mm - Measurement Scanning Depth: up to 19mm (non invasive) - Measurement Range: 0 - 999 digits (non invasive) AND 7 - 99% (pin mode) - Display: LCD + LED light scale - Resolution of reading: 1 digit (non invasive) AND 0.1% (pin mode) - Built-in Wood Menu: No - Temperature Correction: No - Connection for Optional Hammer Probe : Yes, 3.5mm - Alarm: Audible tone increases when moisture located - Weight: 100 grams - Battery Type: 1x 9V - Warranty: 1 Year
Standard package includes: Surveymaster, 1x 9V battery, operating guide, hand probe, deep wall probes, cal check, spare pins, soft case.
The Carrel & Carrel C901 is a basic analogue timber pin moisture meter.
It is designed to be used by timber/wood manufacturers, builders and constructors to determine the estimated % of moisture in the wood material.
As this model features short pins, it is best utilised with the optional CSH102 sliding hammer electrode, which features 45mm teflon insulated pins.
The 45mm teflon insulated pins on the CSH102 help reduce the effect that timber treatments have on moisture meter readings (i.e. H1.2 Boron).
For pre-lining checks on new buildings, this is the recommended method to ensure the moisture readings are correct.
The C901 is pre-calibrated for Douglas Fir. An optional test card is available for user calibration checks.
The C901 comes with a temperature and wood correction book for common species of timber.
Product specifications . - Measurement Method: Resistance - Probe length: 5mm - Measurement Range: 8 - 40 % - Display: Analogue - Resolution of reading: 0.5 % - Built-in Wood Menu: No - Temperature Correction: No - Connection for Optional Hammer Probe : Yes - Weight: 255 grams - Battery Type: 1x 9V - Warranty: 1 Year
The Trotec BM20 is a basic low cost pin moisture meter.
It is designed to be used mainly by DIY users and firewood sellers to determine the estimated % of moisture in the wood material.
Easy to use, simply push the pins of the BM20, into the wood and the unit will measure (using the resistance method), the moisture %.
The BM20 is pre-calibrated for an average international species of timber (unknown) and displays the moisture reading on an easy to read LCD.
Please note: For builders wishing to measure the moisture % in timber framing (for pre-lining), a sliding hammer electrode with "insulated" pins must be used. See the models above for this application.
Product specifications . - Measurement Method: Resistance - Probe length: 8mm - Measurement Range: 1 - 45 % - Display: LCD - Resolution of reading: 0.1 % - Built-in Wood Menu: No - Temperature Correction: No - Connection for Optional Hammer Probe : No - Weight: 100 grams - Battery Type: 3x 3V CR2032 - Warranty: 1 Year
Standard package includes: BM20, 3x 3V batteries, operating guide, soft case. No spare pins available.
