• Deal for wood and concrete flooring moisture measurements
• Pinless meters can read lower moisture values in hardwood.
• Measuring range depends on wood species settings.
• Delivers absolute reliability for many years of usage

Applications - Before installing resilient floor coverings, the moisture in concrete slabs should be tested to avoid floor covering failure. The floor covering industry recommends the RH in-situ probe method for concrete moisture testing.

Advantages - The versatile, accurate Ligno-VersaTec incorporates multiple functions and delivers absolute reliability for many years of usage. It is your best choice for a pin–pinless – RH combination meter.

Pin and Pinless Side by Side

Large areas can be scanned fast and easily. Selectable measuring depth of 1/4″ or 3/4″ allows for comparing moisture close to the surface and deeper down. Once a problem is detected, pin electrodes can be used for further investigations.

The instruments have proven to perform well in rough mill environments with day-to-day usage. One meter for all your moisture meter needs:

• Fast scanning of wood and all flat surfaces of non-wood
• Materials. Detection of different moisture levels in wood, drywall, concrete, etc.
• Detailed depth measurements up to 7″ deep, where ever the probe can reach. Works in wood for core readings. Works in all non-wood materials to indicate where excess moisture is hiding.
• RH BluePeg can be used as a measuring device for ambient relative humidity and temperature or placed in a measuring sleeve, which can be inserted into a predrilled hole in the testing area.
• Operation is that easy! Without studying pages and pages of operation manuals: Depress SET Button to check settings. Use up or down buttons to correct settings.
• Depress % Button for moisture readings. The instrument turns itself off automatically. At any time you can change from pin mode to scan mode by depressing the up or down button.
• Professional Packages and In-Kiln Monitors are available for the Ligno-VersaTec please contact Customer Service for detailed quotes.

Meter indicates RH, Temp, DPT, and GPP. The number 134 on the screen is an individual probe number to give the customer an easy way to identify RH BluePeg Probes especially if several probes are in use for testing concrete. Probe numbers rotate through 001-999.

The meter has a HOLD function, to use when the display is not visible during measurements, and use when scrolling through RH, T, GPP, and DPT to obtain correlating sets of values.

Throughout the installation process, a floor installer should use a moisture meter. First, when the floor is delivered, to make sure the floor is dry. Next, before and after acclimation, make sure the floor is acclimated to the ambient conditions at the place of installation. It is best to mark selected sample boards and take readings throughout the acclimation process until the moisture content of the wood matches the relative humidity (See EMC chart below.) After the installation is finished and the customer is ready to sign off on the floor, the moisture condition of the floor should be documented. Select several moisture-sensitive areas. Take readings on both depth levels and note the readings with species setting, measuring depth and location where the readings were taken. Maybe even take a photo to pinpoint the location. If you ever have to go back to check out a complaint, you can measure the same areas again and compare them with the original readings. Keeping track of moisture conditions may in the end protect you from unwarranted claims and help find the source of the problem. The dual-depth readings may indicate if moisture was absorbed from the downside of the floor or from the up-side of the floor.

Capturing and analyzing rare anomalies in electric signals is a typical use case when debugging electronic systems. With an acquisition rate of up to 50 000 waveforms per second – more than 1000 times faster than conventional handheld oscilloscopes – the R&S®Scope Rider sees signals other scopes miss. Rare faults in signals can be reliably captured and analyzed.

In history mode, the instrument automatically stores up to 5000 waveforms in a separate history buffer. At any point in time, acquisition can be stopped and any waveform in the history buffer can be analyzed using the full oscilloscope functionality. One-time anomalies that would have been missed by a conventional handheld oscilloscope can now be analyzed in detail.
