Protimeter HygroTrac Wireless Sensor (BLD9050) for use HygroTrac System The Protimeter HygroTrac is a simple and cost-effective system for remote environmental monitoring in buildings. Data can be viewed live over the internet showing parameters such as moisture content relative humidity and temperature.

• Set threshold alarms
• Receive alarm warning via email and text message
• Comprehensive site reports
• Reduce costly site visits

Small HygroTrac wireless sensors are placed into a building and readings are sent to the data acquisition gateway. The data acquisition gateway is connected to a dedicated and secure web server via Ethernet or phone line. The measurements can then be viewed from any internet connection using a secure password to access results. Up to 600 sensors can report through one gateway at a transmission range of 150-400ft dependant on building construction materials.

Wireless Sensors transmit data at user-selected intervals to data acquisition gateway.

• Nominal transmission distance to gateway: 150' (46m); Transmission distance varies, based on many factors, including the presence of obstacles such as concrete walls and interference from other electronic equipment.
• Measures relative humidity RH and temperature
• % moisture content in wood
• Measures % WME in masonry, drywall and other materials of construction
• Transmission Frequency:
  • US and Canda: 915 MHz unlicensed band
  • Europe: 868 MHz unlicensed band
• Dimensions: 2.25" x 1.5" x 2.25" (60 x 30 x 60mm)
• Weight: 2.42 oz (68g)

% RH/Temperature Sensor

• % RH Range: 0 to 100% (non condensing)
• % RH Accuracy: ±2.5% (from 10 to 90%)
• Temperature Range: -40° to 185°F (-40° to 85°C)
• Temperature Accuracy: ±1°F (±0.5°C) at 77°F (25°C)
• Battery Life: 15 years nominal, when reporting hourly

Moisture Sensor (Pin type resistance)

• Range: 8 to 40%
• Accuracy: ±1% in wood; 10 to 25% subject to adjustments for species and temperature
• Calibration Temperature: 68°F (20°C)

Data Acquisition Gateway

• Receives data from up to 600 sensors
• Transmits data to secure internet via 10 MPS Ethernet output & Dial on demand phone modem
• Onboard back up data storage
• 10 sensors reporting every 1 hour = ~ 1 year of data
• Addition storage on SD card up to 2 GB card (not supplied)
• Dimensions: 7.5" x 4.9" x 1.6" (190 x 125 x 40mm)
• Weight: 10.8oz (305 g)
• Power Requirement: 3.3 V power supply (included)

Data Acquisition Gateway: Data collection point receives and stores data from all wireless measurement sensors. Information is then sent to a secure web server. Data can also be stored directly on the gateway if an internet connection is not available.

Web Data Service: Access data and produce reports over any internet connection. Name individual sensors. Graphical display of readings. Secure access. Data access fees apply. See www.gehygrotrac.com for latest rates.
