Your purchase of the DataGrabber® with Bluetooth® or the
DataGrabber® gives you the ability to automate the collection of
in-situ relative humidity (RH) test data. Because they integrate
with the Rapid RH® L6 system, the use of either DataGrabber
device can enhance your collection and documentation of Rapid
RH L6 data.
Your DataGrabber device automates the data collection process
by connecting with a Rapid RH L6 Smart Sensor and then
allowing a microchip built into the sensor to store time and date-
stamped RH and temperature readings on a periodic basis—for
days, weeks, or even months at a time while you are away from
the job site.
Both the DataGrabber with Bluetooth and the DataGrabber
perform the same automated data gathering tasks. ey dier
in how they communicate to your smartphone or other mobile
device. e DataGrabber with Bluetooth features a built-in
wireless connection to your smart device. e non-wireless
version of the DataGrabber requires the use of the Bluetooth-
enabled Rapid RH Total Reader®.

Data Logger for Rapid RH® L6
Your DataGrabber device is designed to work in conjunction
with the DataMaster L6 app (available to download for free
in the App Store and on Google play). With this app, you can
congure time intervals for collecting RH test data, keep a
running clock of acclimation time, download the time and date-
stamped readings to your smart device, and generate and send
reports.
Your DataGrabber device can be used to collect and store up to
512 time and date-stamped RH and temperature readings on
an L6 sensor. e data you collect can help you gain a better
understanding of the drying process as well as the dynamics
that may be aecting the concrete drying time. You can also
analyze the data for any trends using the DataMaster L6 app.

Aer installing your DataGrabber device and downloading the
DataMaster app, your next step is to connect the DataGrabber
with your mobile device so that you can congure it for the
automated collection of time and date-stamped data.
As described already, for the DataGrabber with Bluetooth, a
wireless connection is obtained when it is within Bluetooth
range of your mobile device. For the DataGrabber (without
Bluetooth), use the Rapid RH Total Reader with the DataGrabber
to connect wirelessly to your mobile device.
CONNECTION
Next, with the DataMaster L6 app open on your mobile device,
click on the Menu icon (three horizontal bars) located in the
upper right-hand corner of the screen. en choose Manage

DataGrabber with Bluetooth
A pop-up window will appear on the RH Reading screen if
detecting an installed DataGrabber with Bluetooth device
for the rst time. In addition, if you are in proximity of any
DataGrabber with Bluetooth units installed in L6 sensors, on
the Devices screen the unit with the greatest signal strength will
appear as the rst unit at the top, followed by other DataGrabber
units within Bluetooth range. You can begin to congure your
DataGrabber units (see the Conguration section).
DataGrabber (without Bluetooth)
Use the Total Reader with the DataGrabber to connect to the
DataMaster L6 app on your mobile device. A pop-up window
will appear on the RH Reading screen if detecting an installed
DataGrabber device for the rst time. IMPORTANT: You must
connect the Total Reader with the DataGrabber TWICE for it to
start working. e rst time initializes the DataGrabber device,
and the second time veries that the device is taking readings. If
you transfer the DataGrabber to a new L6 Smart Sensor, you will
need to repeat this process.
Whenever the Total Reader is properly connected to the
DataGrabber, it will appear on the app’s Devices screen, as
named, along with any DataGrabber with Bluetooth devices.
You can now select your DataGrabber device and congure its
settings as needed.
NOTE: On the Devices screen, you can easily identify the type
of device that is connected to your L6 sensor by the icon to the
le of the Device name:

Acclimation Time
e amount of time elapsed (in days) before the DataGrabber
will automatically capture (grab) a measurement and store
it in the L6 Smart Sensor’s memory as the acclimated time
measurement of both RH and temperature. For instance,
setting an acclimation time of one day and then starting, the
DataGrabber will wait 24 hours and “grab” a measurement for
storage in the L6 Smart Sensor’s memory. In most cases, it is
highly recommended to use one day as the acclimation time,
given that 24 hours is the minimum equilibration time specied
by the ASTM F2170 standard for getting ocial, documentable
RH readings.
NOTE: Your DataGrabber device is “reusable” and not limited
to use with only one L6 sensor. To ensure that your device
properly utilizes the settings you congured, including the
acclimation time, be aware of the following when transferring
a DataGrabber device to another L6 sensor:
• For the DataGrabber, it takes up to one minute to turn
o aer removal from an L6 sensor. If inserted into a
new sensor within that minute, the DataGrabber will
not detect the move until the next reading is taken.
• For the DataGrabber with Bluetooth, the process of
turning o the device aer removal occurs much
quicker (about 5 seconds).
Log Interval
In addition to the reading captured (grabbed) when the
Acclimation Time has elapsed (see above), an L6 sensor, through
the DataGrabber with Bluetooth, will begin to capture readings
at a certain interval, dened as the Log (data logging) Interval.
is data logging of RH and temperature readings begins as
soon as the DataGrabber with Bluetooth is inserted into the
sensor, and a new set of readings is logged every time the Log
Interval is met. e default and minimum Log Interval is 1 hour.
Log Duration
A calculation of the total number of days that periodic time
and date-stamped readings will be taken based on the set log
interval and the L6 Smart Sensor’s maximum memory storage
of 512 data points. Once this limit is reached, the rst stored
reading will be overwritten.

If your DataGrabber device does not appear when viewing the
Devices screen of the DataMaster L6 app:
• For the DataGrabber with Bluetooth: check the
connection between the device and the L6 sensor and
reseat the DataGrabber device within the sensor
• For the DataGrabber (without Bluetooth): check the
connection between the device and the Total Reader.
If the Total Reader displays an “Er” message, then
reconnect it with the DataGrabber until it displays RH
and temperature data. If the Total Reader displays data
but the app shows “TR” and not “DG” for the device
type, then the DataGrabber battery may be the problem.
• Ensure that the battery is seated properly or replace the
battery as needed
