Wireless Environmental and Wood/Concrete Moisture Monitoring

Protimeter HygroTrac®
  • Automatic alarms give early warnings to potential moisture related problems in buildings

  • Avoid costly job site visits and view data from your desktop

  • Easy and professional job report presentations

  • Use long term monitoring to help diagnose moisture problems in buildings

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.

Small HygroTrac wireless sensors are placed in a building and readings are sent to the data acquisition gateway. The data acquisition gateway is connected to a dedicated and secure web server via ethernet or phone line. The measurements can then be viewed from any internet connection using a secure password to access results.

 

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

Data Available:
• Reading time and date
• % RH
• Temperature (°F / °C)
• Ambient % RH and temperature
• Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) % moisture
• GPP (grains per pound)
• Dewpoint Temperature (°F / °C)

Applications:
Permanent Installation into a Wide Range of building Environments provides early warning of potential moisture-related problems that can lead to damaged property and potential health risk to building occupants.
• Heritage or historic buildings
• Museums
• Food storage
• Apartment buildings


Wireless Sensor
• *Nominal transmission distance to gateway-150 ft (46 m) to 500 ft (152 m)
• Measures relative humidity and temperature
• % moisture content in wood
• Measures % WME in masonry, drywall and other materials of construction

*Transmission distance varies, based on many factors, including the presence of obstacles such as concrete walls and interference from other electronic equipment.
