Information about the device
Device description
The T3000 multifunction measuring meter is used for carrying
out detailed analysis in the fields of material and construction
diagnostics. To do so, the device has a 24 bit analogue / digital
converter which delivers precise results and is permanently
stable compared with analogue measuring instruments.
The operating elements are found on the front and sides of the
robust housing. A scratch proof colour display with touch
function(1) allows entering and selecting values and functions
and also displaying detected results. You can also navigate the
device software for selecting measuring functions by using the
cross control(3) and the "OK" key(5).
Pressing the "Back" key(2) returns you to the previous screen
of the device software. Pressing the "Main menu" key(6) opens
the main menu which is also shown when you start the device.
Pressing the "Illumination on/off" key(4) switches the
background illumination for the colour display and the keys on
and off and also serves for dimming.
The sensor connections (one SDI connection(7) and one BNC
connection(8)) can be found above the colour display(1). At the
SDI connection(7), connect the appropriate digital SDI sensor
for the corresponding situation. The universal interface of the
SDI sensors allows the multifunction measuring meter to
automatically detect the sensor construction and/or indicates
when the wrong type of sensor is connected. Depending on the
sensor construction, it is calibrated to the prevailing surrounding
conditions after connection. Any sensor settings are saved
directly to the corresponding SDI sensor. The various measured
values, such as relative humidity, dew point or flow rate, are
automatically calculated by the SDI sensors and transmitted to
the multifunction measuring meter.
At the BNC connection (8), you connect passive wood or building
moisture sensors.
The measured results of the sensor which is connected to the
SDI or BNC connection are shown in the device's colour display
(1).
The "Power" button(10) and a USB connection(11) can be
found on the sides of the device.
You can connect the device to a computer by using the supplied
USB connection cable. Then you can extract and analyse your
measured results with the optional MultiMeasure Studio
Standard or MultiMeasure Studio Professional software. Contact
your Trotec customer service.

Note!
When using the differentiated indication measurement, new H2
base concentrations always occur which the displayed
measured values are based on. An evaluation and comparison
of the dimensionless measured values is then not worthwhile,
because the measurements may relate to constantly changing
H2 concentrations. Thus, the measured values are not saved.
So, only use the Measuring mode – Hydrogen for locating leaks.

• 75 %: The temperature at75% relative humidity
will be displayed as critical dew point.
• 70 %: The temperature at70 % relative humidity
will be displayed as critical dew point.
Info
The term "critical dew point" specifies the temperature
that is already critical for mould formation with regard
to an associated relative humidity of approx. 70%,
75% or 80%. Within these ranges, mould formation is
already possible.
Therefore, the critical dew point is often several °C
higher than the actual dew point temperature with
100%RH, where condensation actually occurs!
Knowing the critical dew point is particularly important
when carrying out measurements e.g. behind picture
frames, closets or wardrobes in environments with
otherwise inconspicuous room climate values.

multifunction measuring meter T3000
Calibrating the sensor
The calibration process for the sensor will be carried out in the
submenu "Settings" after pressing the "Sensor" button
(Settings menu, screen3). From this menu, a single-point
calibration (zero offset) can be carried out for the selected
sensor indications. All sensors are already factory-calibrated
and have a corresponding characteristic calibration curve. By
stating a calibration value (offset) a global shift of the calibration
curve, which has an effect on the entire measuring range, is
performed for the single-point calibration!
The offset value to be entered is that value by which the
calibration curve will be shifted.
Example:
The displayed value is always 5 increments too high.
=> Change the offset value for this measurement channel by
-5.
The default setting of most sensor types' offset value is 0.0.
Changing the offset value brings about an automatic reset of the
measured values.
The offset value range depends on the respective sensor type
and the unit to be measured. When entering values outside of
the respective value range, a fault message stating the setting
limits will be emitted. The offset will be saved by most SDI
sensors and therefore also be considered for future
measurements.
Please observe that in case of flow sensors the adjustment is
effected by means of a factor. The default setting of the CAL
value here is 1.0, which corresponds to 100 %.
Example:
A setting of 0.9 would mean an adjustment to 90 % and
therefore a reduction by 10%. (measured value before: 10 m/
s2, after: 9 m/s).
A setting of 1.2 would mean an adjustment to 120% and
therefore an increase by 20%. (measured value before: 10 m/
s2, after: 12 m/s)
An exception constitutes the contact temperature measurement
using an NTC-based surface probe (e.g. TS131SDI). Here the
offset value is set via the settings menu of the sensor. In this
settings menu, you can enter the offset value for the
NTCsensor. The set offset value will be accordingly saved in
the device, not in the sensor. This means that all connected
sensors of the same type also work with this adjusted
offset!
Carrying out a measurement
Info
Please 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 display
shows either no measured values or they are incorrect.
Wait a few minutes until the device has become
adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out
a measurement.
After connecting a sensor and selecting the measuring mode,
the measurement starts automatically.

660 SDI humidity sensor)
