Product Description
£490.00 ex VAT | £588.00 Inc VAT
Moisture content sensor for wood. Suitable for stationary measuring operations as it is a capacitive sensor designed for applying onto the wood’s surface. The sensor is integrated in the sensor housing, with a built-in plug and 5 meter connecting cable with ALMEMO® plug for current ALMEMO® devices (version 6 and above).

Technical Features
- 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)
