Information about the device
Device description
Used in combination with Trotec's MultiMeasure Mobile app the
thermohygrometer permits indoor measurements of air
temperature and relative humidity level.
The resulting values for dew point, mixing ratio(g/kg), absolute
humidity level(g/m3) and wet-bulb temperature are directly
calculated and displayed in the app.
In case of individual measurements, the measurement value
display can be refreshed both via the app and by a brief
actuation of the measurement button at the measuring device.
Apart from the hold function, the measuring device can indicate
minimum, maximum and average values and carry out series
measurements.
In the app you can specify MAX and MINalarm thresholds for all
parameters measured with the device.
The measurement results can be displayed and saved on the
terminal device either numerically or in form of a chart. Then,
the measurement data can be sent in PDF or Excelformat.
The app also includes a report generation function, an organiser
function, one for customer management and further analysis
options. Moreover, it is possible to share measurements and
project data with colleagues in another subsidiary.
If MultiMeasure Studio Professional is installed on a PC, you can
even use report templates and ready-made text blocks for
various fields of application to turn the data into professional
reports.

Connecting the appSensor
Info
The app can simultaneously be connected to several
different appSensors or appSensors of the same type
and also record several measurements at the same
time.
Proceed as follows to connect the appSensor to the terminal
device:
üThe Trotec MultiMeasure Mobile app is installed.
üThe Bluetooth function on your terminal device is activated.
1. Start the Trotec MultiMeasure Mobile app on the terminal
device.
2. Briefly actuate the On/ off/ measurementbutton(3) three
times to switch on the appSensor.
ðThe LED(2) flashes yellow.
3. Press the SENSORS button(6) on the terminal device.
ðThe sensors overview opens.
4. Press the Refresh button(7).
ðIf the scanning mode was not active before, the colour
of the Refreshbutton(7) will change from grey to black.

Continuous measurement
Info
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can
lead to condensation forming on the device's circuit
board. This physical and unavoidable effect can falsify
the measurement. In this case, the app will either
display incorrect measured values or none at all. Wait a
few minutes until the device has become adjusted to
the changed conditions before carrying out a
measurement.
When the appSensor has been successfully connected to the
terminal device, a continuous measurement is started and
indicated. The refresh rate is 1second. The 12most recently
measured values are displayed graphically(9) in chronological
sequence. The currently determined and calculated measured
values are displayed numerically(10).
