Technical data and functions

Moisture Sensor
Moisture sensor for determination of the moisture content in mineral construction materials, wood and cardboard.
Indirect measurement of the moisture through the determination of the dielectric constant.
Capacity measurement through a high frequency electromagnetic field, which penetrates the material in a non-destructive way.

Wood moisture probe
Moisture sensor for determination of the moisture content in wood.
Indirect moisture measurement according to the principle of conductivity.
Determination of the moisture content in the material through the dependence of the electrical resistance on the moisture.

Capacitive sensor for applying onto the wood‘s surface
Moisture content sensor for comparative measurement of moisture in wood materials
The capacitive sensor with the measuring electronics is completely integrated in the damp-proof sensor housing. Plug-in ALMEMO® connecting cable
This device is designed for stationary installation and long-term monitoring e.g. of wooden parts of buildings, roof structures (with laminated beams).
It is also suitable for data logger operation in energy-saving sleep mode (intermittent mode).
The sensor housing is quick and easy to install on the wooden surface in question.
The material‘s moisture content is measured indirectly by determining its dielectric constant, which is moisture-dependent (but not temperature-dependent).
Its capacity is measured via a high-frequency electrical field which penetrates the wood without destroying it.
The ALMEMO® device acquires the material‘s moisture content based on the linearization curve stored in the ALMEMO® plug.
This measuring operation can be performed using any current ALMEMO® device (version 6 and above).
Conductivity measurement with measuring tips that can be screwed into the woodMoisture content sensor for comparative measurement of moisture in wood materials
Two hanger bolts are screwed into the wood surface and connected via measuring lines to the measuring electronics in the damp-proof sensor housing.
The sensor housing with the integrated temperature sensor is also fixed in position on the wood surface.
Plug-in ALMEMO® connecting cable
This device is designed for stationary installation and long-term monitoring e.g. of wooden parts of buildings, roof structures (with laminated beams).
Data logger operation in sleep mode (intermittent mode) is required in order to protect the wood from salinization or drying out.
The material‘s moisture content is measured indirectly by determining its electrical conductivity, which is moisture-dependent.
It is also temperature-dependent. However, the displayed moisture value is automatically temperature-compensated by means of an integrated temperature sensor.
The ALMEMO® device acquires the material‘s moisture content based on the linearization curve stored in the ALMEMO® plug.
This measuring operation can be performed using any current ALMEMO® device (version 6 and above).

Water Detection Probe
Water detection probe for instant detection of uncombined water.
Particularly suitable for construction applications, especially in locations that are difficult to check visually, e.g. at sealing joints, under cement floors etc.
Indirect moisture measurement according to the principle of conductivity.
Probe with two collets for easy electrode replacements.
Electrodes in three different designs for matching any required application.
