T500 material moisture measuring instrument – practical advantages in detail:
The T500 is a professional hand-held measuring instrument for the precise determination of the moisture content of wood and materials using the resistance method.
Besides detecting the moisture content of soft building materials such as gypsum or plaster, the quality, German-made T500 measuring instrument is better suited than any other instrument in its class for measurement checks in forestry operations, sawmills and all wood processing works.
This is because the T500 features a menu option that allows the selection of hundreds of different types of wood, especially for detecting the moisture content of wooden materials.
This is made possible by a large number of validated material curves, which are stored in the instrument software and can be selected from the T500 wood-type table using the corresponding material number.
The wood-type index, which is included in the supply package and runs to 170 pages, is probably the most comprehensive material curve compendium on the market!
As one would expect from a professional wood moisture measuring instrument, the T500 features a special function to compensate for the temperature of the material measured.
The real-time measured wood moisture content and the pre-defined wood temperature are shown simultaneously on the easily readable display during measurement. The current measured value can be frozen with a hold function if required.
Whether for measuring the moisture in wood or buildings, the maintenance-free T500 with auto-calibration stands out with its digital precision and practice-oriented design: the form, dimensions and weight of the device were optimised for professional use in consideration of ergonomic aspects and all functions can be selected with just one hand using a thumbwheel. This way, you always have one hand free when measuring.
The standard scope of supply includes, besides the T500 measuring instrument, two cap nuts, ten measuring spikes (length 20 mm, ř 1.5 mm), protective cap for the electrodes, battery, operating manual and a comprehensive 170-page index of wood types.
In addition, you can widen the T500’s range of applications considerably by connecting any electrodes from the MultiMeasure range to the T500 using the optionally available TS adaptor set (1) and the TC 25 connecting cable (2). More information on the TS adaptor set can be found here…
