Carrying out a measurement
Put the sensor at a right angle on the material to be measured
and press the measuring tips as far as possible into the material
to be measured.
Info
Under no circumstances may the measuring tips be
driven into the material by means of a hammer!
Otherwise the measuring device will be damaged.
Info
Please note that the indicated measured values are
merely rough reference values. Since, particularly in
case of mineral building materials, the measurement
results can be influenced by salinization as well as
chemical additives, the determined values shall only be
used as an indicator of near-surface material moisture,
not for an absolute assessment.
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.
Individual value measurement
When the appSensor has been successfully connected to the
terminal device, an individual value measurement is started and
the first determined value will be indicated.

Measuring principle
The measuring device at hand serves for the rough
determination of the material or wood moisture content
according to the resistance measuring method. Fields of
application are wood moisture measurements of sawn timber
and firewood. Moreover, the measuring device can be used to
detect the moisture in soft building materials such as gypsum or
plaster.
The resistance measuring method is an indirect measurement
method, since the moisture content of the measured material is
deduced from the its conductivity.
Influencing variables suitable to change the conductivity, e.g.
electrically conducting materials or dissolved salts, hence also
have a direct influence on the determined measured values.
Therefore, the displayed measured values can only be
considered as indicator of the moisture content.
Notes on use regarding the wood moisture measurement:
For wood moisture measurement a calibration curve is stored in
the device, which corresponds to the average of the relevant
kinds of wood in Europe based on a wood temperature of 20°C.
Therefore, no further settings are required for a quick rough
determination of the wood moisture content. If precise wood
moisture values are required for other wood temperatures or
with due regard of the type and bulk density of a certain timber,
an additional control measurement applying the Darr procedure
or else using a wood moisture measuring device with
temperature comparison function and selection option for the
specific wood type calibration is recommended.
• Always insert the measuring tips transverse to the wood
fibre direction. The conductivity transverse to the wood
fibre direction is lower than that in line with it.
• When selecting the measuring positions observe the
following:
– Always measure the material moisture at three different
positions in order to achieve a sufficient accuracy by
means of the arithmetic average.
– Do not measure the face, because there are mainly dry
areas.
– Preferably do not measure at cracks, branches or resin
pockets either.
• Oily and/or aqueous timber preservatives affect the
measurement result.
• If possible, do not measure wood with a temperature
below -5°C. Too low wood temperatures distort the result
of the measurement.
• Avoid static charge of the material to be measured due to
friction. Static charge distorts the measurement result.
• With a wood moisture of less than 10%RH, electrostatic
forces may occur at the good to be measured. This can
falsify the result of the measurement. Experience has
shown that this occurs at the outlet of veneer drying
plants. Remove the static charge by use of suitable
grounding measures.
• The measurement's accuracy depends on the contact
pressure of the measuring tips. The measuring tips must
be connected to the wood in a way that the contact
resistance is small as compared to the measuring
resistance.
Notes on use regarding the material moisture
measurement:
No further settings are required for the quick determination of
the material moisture at the device. Nevertheless, when
assessing the measurement results one has to bear in mind that
increased occurrences of soluble salts in the measured material
can distort the result of the measurement. The more salts
present, the higher the conductivity of the material and the
higher will be the displayed measurement value.
Further observe disruptive influences due to electrically
conducting substances:
If a construction material contains electrically conducting
substances, it also has a lower resistance value, which then
simulates high moisture values. Consequently, a too high
measured value will be displayed.
From visual inspection it is not always apparent, whether there
are any electrically conducting substances inside the
construction material.
Some of the main error sources here are in particular
reinforcements, metal laminations and conducting insulation
such as slag in timber beam ceiling constructions. Especially in
case of insulation materials with metal lamination, measured
values are often misinterpreted during the resistance
measurement. Quantitative conclusions about the moisture
content of the mineral material to be measured can only be
drawn by applying the Darrprocedure or the CMmethod.

Maintenance and repair
Battery change
A battery change is required when the LED at the appSensor
flashes red or the sensor can no longer be switched on. See
chapter Operation.
Exchanging measuring tips
The measuring tips can be exchanged as needed.
Further measuring tips are available as optional accessories.
For further information please contact Trotec directly.
Exchange the measuring tips when they exhibit signs of wear
(e.g. oxidation, deformation, heavy, irremovable
contaminations).
üMake sure that the device is switched off.
1. Remove the protective cap from the device.
2. Detach the screwed-on measuring tips from the device.
3. Screw the new measuring tips into the device.
Cleaning
Clean the device with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Make
sure that no moisture enters the housing. Do not use any
sprays, solvents, alcohol-based cleaning agents or abrasive
cleaners, but only clean water to moisten the cloth.
Repair
Do not modify the device or install any spare parts. For repairs
or device testing, contact the manufacturer.
Errors and faults
The device has been checked for proper functioning several
times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,
check the device according to the following list.
Bluetooth connection is terminated or interrupted
• Check whether the LED at the appSensor flashes green.
If so, briefly switch it off completely, then turn it back on.
Establish a new connection to the terminal device.
• Check the battery voltage and insert new or freshly
charged batteries, if required.
• Does the distance between appSensor and terminal device
exceed the appSensor's radio range (see chapter Technical
data) or are there any solid building parts (walls, pillars
etc.) situated between appSensor and terminal device?
Shorten the distance between the two devices and ensure
a direct line of sight.
The sensor cannot be connected to the terminal device
although it is displayed there.
• Check the Bluetooth settings of your terminal device.
A possible reason for this could be special, manufacturer-
specific settings relating to an improved location accuracy.
Enable these settings, then try to establish a connection to
the sensor again.
Further information and assistance regarding the used sensor
type will be provided in the MultiMeasure Mobile app via the
