Trotec T2000S

COMPONENT MOISTURE SYSTEM

With the T2000S you have one single measuring instrument with OPTIONAL interchangeable sensors for the many applications listed here.

The T2000S builds a bridge between analogue and digital technology.
The professional solution for all inspections, the heart ofthe T2000S is a
24-bit analogue/digital converter which supplies long term stable precision results which analogue instruments cannot achieve.
The digital technology of the “Serial-Digital-Interface” (SDI) opens up a new dimension in flexibility in measuring.

One port allows the connection of various sensors such as SDI dieletric or microwave for scanning wood/buildings materials, temperature/humidity etc. While the other connects a variety of probe electrodes using the resistance method for wood and building measurements.

About 30 different sensors and electrodes are available and allow many different parameters to be measured. It has a built in wood type menu option which allows selection of hundreds of different kinds of wood species. Choosing the correct wood species will give you better accuracy in your results. (most other brands are set for a particular type of wood of that manufacturers choosing and from there it is up to the end user to correct the values after taking a measurement).

Current temperature is displayed in the panel which is taken into consideration when calculating the moisture percentage in wood as temperature will affect readings. This can be adjusted even further using a temperature probe on the wood to give even better accuracy results. (most other brands are unable to take temperature of wood into account.)

An alarm can be set to activate at unacceptable reading levels.

Optional Interchangeable components

Trotec TS300

PROFESSIONAL DIELETRIC SCANNING SENSOR

The TS300 SDI sensor is used for fast, non destructive determination of moisture content distributions in areas at a depth up to 40mm from the surface. Damp and dry wall and floor areas can be detected by permanent real time display of the measured values. When connected to the T2000S an immediate evaluation of the measured data, minimum, maximum and average functions is available.

This sensor is ideal for locating moisture by scanning internal walls and ceilings of houses, apartments and buildings.

Trotec TS350

PROFESSIONAL MICROWAVE SCANNING SENSOR

The TS350 SDI sensor is used for rapid non destructive measurement of sub-surface moisture content. Using microwave technology it is possible to detect distributions of moisture content at a depth of up to 300mm. Another advantage of the method, in addition to the great measuring depth, is that it is not affected by the level of salt content present in the material. It therefore makes no difference to the microwave technique whether an older or a new building is being measured.

An advanced instrument for experienced building inspectors.

This sensor is ideal for locating moisture by scanning concrete, external cladding, internal & walls and ceilings of houses, apartments and buildings.

Trotec TS200

PROFESSIONAL TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY SENSOR

The TS200 SDI sensor is used for determining the relative humidity and temperature within a room.
It can also measure the relative humidity in the process of curing concrete, when inserted a drilled hole or cavity. (See images on left)

The TS200 has a diameter of 12mm and can measure a
temperature range of -20 ° C and +70 ° C and a relative humidity range of 0.0 to 98%.

When connected to the T2000S, it can measure:

• Relative humidity
• Absolute humidity
• Air temperature
• Dew point tempertaure

When reporting on moisture problems in houses these are some of the factors that should be taken into consideration and reported.

This sensor is ideal for recording the relative humidity in the process of curing concrete floors, prior to being covered, monitoring and analysising humidity and tempertature in houses, apartments and buildings.

For measuring air temperature and humidity. Relative humidity (r.h.), absolute humidity (g/m3), air temperature (°C, °F) and dew point temperature (dp °C, dp °F) are determined.

Since there is frequently a heavy accumulation of dust and dirt under practical conditions which can lead to falsification of the measuring results and shortening of the sensor life, the TS 200 SDI is already equipped with a metal grid filter as a standard.
A high grade steel sinter filter is optionally available for environments with heavy soiling. (1).

Trotec TS240

PROFESSIONAL TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY SENSOR

The TS240 SDI sensor performs similar tasks as the TS200 SDI excluding concrete and material readings.
When connected to the T2000S, it can measure:

• Relative humidity
• Absolute humidity
• Air temperature
• Dew point tempertaure

The diameter of the TS240 however is smaller and longer (4mm diameter x 250mm length) so it is the ideal sensor to use for measuring relative humidity inside of wall cavities.
The TS240 has a high degree of accuracy as well as a wider measuring range temperature of between -40 ° C and +100 ° C.

This sensor is ideal for monitoring and analysising humidity and tempertature inside wall cavities of houses, apartments and buildings.

Trotec TS70

PROFESSIONAL HAMMER ELECTRODE

The TS70 sliding hammer probe (resistance method) is fitted with 60mm hardened steel needle probes with insulated shafts for taking gradient readings in timber.
When connected to the T2000S it allows timber framing to be checked for moisture content before cladding is applied. Some framing timber in New Zealand is now coated with the chemical ‘Borin’ which will give those moisture meters which only have very short non insulated probes that test at the surface very high readings. To get the correct results the probes should be hit deeper into the timber and with insulated probes this will help to eliminate the false high readings. (beware some timber could be soaked) The hammer requires the TC20 cable and 60mm insulated probes.

This probe is ideal for locating moisture in timber framing.

Trotec TS60

PROFESSIONAL HAND ELECTRODE

The TS60 has a tough handle with 2 two hexagon union nuts in which electrode pins (20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 60mm) can be inserted. This is ideal for measurement of moisture in cut timber or wooden board materials (chip board or fibre boards) and measurement of moisture in soft materials such as plaster or rough cast mortar.

This probe is ideal for locating moisture in a wide range of materials including timber, gibboard, plywood, plastered internal walls etc.

Trotec TS Probe Series

PROFESSIONAL WALL PROBES

A full range of insulated and non-insulated electrodes are available to fit the T2000S.
Diameters of the probes include 2mm, 4mm & 7mm, and they are designed for specific moisture measurement in concealed areas.
Where the shaft needs to be insulated, the TS12 probes are recommended as the absence of insulation would falsify the result. These are avaiable in 200mm and 300mm lengths.

The most frequent use is the determination of moisture distribution of multilayered wall or ceiling structures such as multilayered walls.

This range of probes are ideally used to locate moisture deeper into the material (i.e. walls and ceilings) at depths of up to 200 and 300mm.

Trotec TS130/150

PROFESSIONAL SURFACE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

As the temperature of the surfaces like wood will effect moisture readings the TS130/150 surface temperature sensor allows the TS2000S to automatically corerct the temperature of the surdface being measured.
When combined with probes for measuring the % of moisture in timber framing and other types of wood, the correct wood moisture content will be displayed.
The head of the 150 mm long measuring tip (dia 4.5 mm) carries a spring-loaded sensor which picks up the surface temperature.
The T2000S has it’s own temperature sensor built in which displays on the screen and is further adjusted when the TS130/150 is connected. Measuring range -50 °C … +400 °C. The TC30 cable is required for the sensor.

This sensor is ideal for attaining the temperature of a wide range of the surfaces.
