| Protimeter HygroTrac® |
Wireless Environmental and Wood/Concrete Moisture Monitoring
![]() |
|
The Protimeter HygroTrac is a simple and cost-effective system for monitoring environmental conditions remotely in buildings.
The Protimeter HygroTrac system measures and logs data parameters such as % relative humidity, temperature and moisture in materials. |
| Wireless Sensors Transmit data at user-selected intervals to central data acquisition gateway up to 500 ft (152m) away. Multiple sensors (up to 600 per gateway) can be installed-all transmitting back to one or more data acquisition gateways. |
| HygroTrac Measures: • Relative humidity • Air temperature • % moisture content in wood and % WME in other building materials. |
| Data Acquisition Gateway Data collection point receives and stores data from up to 600 wireless measurement sensors. Information is then sent to a secure web server. |
| Data is sent via: • Ethernet • Telephone land line (*user dial up options) *Use of dial up connections will require an ISP account. |
| Web Data Service* • Live or near live access data and produce reports over any internet connection • Name individual sensors to specify location within the building • Data view includes graphical display of readings • Secure access with ability to create multiple users at different security levels • Download data in text file format for use with spreadsheets and other applications • Alarm parameter settings. Warnings via email and cellular phone text message |
| *Use of this service will encounter a data access fee automatically billed to a credit card. Contact GE at www.gehygrotrac.com for latest rates |
