MEASURING TECHNIQUE · WOOD MOISTURE · PM1

PM1 – nondestructive wood moisture meter
with datastore and external sensor
 

Wood Species:

preprogrammed in 20 groups

Density Range:

densitiy settings for measurements from 0.30–1.10 g/m³

Timber Thikness:

free adjustable from 2–40 mm (0.09–1.57 inch)

This unique electronically Moisture Meter PM1-E and its easy to use functions is a professional instrument for quick and accurat readings of wood moisture content. Because of its solid construction (Aluminium Housing and Rubberprotector) it is ideal for the daily us in rough working conditions.

Technical Specifications: PM1-E

Size (l x w x h): 160x66x29 mm
Weight: 265 g
Sensor Plate: 106x41 mm

Power Supply: 9 V standard battery
Resolution: 0.1 (digit)

TFU001 – external sensor for °C, °F, % RH, EMC

This optionally external sensor is made for measurements of Temperature (°C or °F), Relative Humidity (RH) and Equillibrium Moisture Content (EMC) of wood products. Its solid construction allows the use in kiln drying chambers. For accuracy and long-term stability please see the usermanual.

Technical Specifications: TFU001

Working Range RH: 10–90 % RH
Accuracy at 20° C: ±3 % RH
Working Range Temp.: –20 to 80° C

Accuracy: ±0.55° C
Maximal Cable Length: 1 + 8 m (3.28 + 26.25 ft.)

SE100 – Datastorage

Equipped with this optionally accesory kit 100 records of PM1-E moisture readings can be stored. To transmit stored readings the instrument must be connected with a PC by using the PC-Interface and the transmition cable. Our latest PC-Software for data transmition is standard accesory (MS-Excel® Files are possible).

HM8 – nondestructive Moisture Meter

How much is the accurate moisture content in my wood and wood-products? Test it with a quick and precise nondestructive Moisture Meter from Merlin Technology GmbH.

How it works: As soon as the sensor plate is in contact with the surface of the wood measuring starts. The processor of the instrument analyses the sensor readings and displays the result as a percentage of moisture content in the wood.

MEASURING TECHNIQUE · WOOD MOISTURE · WOOD CHIPS

Woodchips – Woodflakes – Briquetts

The new measuring instrument for determining the exact moisture content of your woodchips. A sampling is taken and weighed. Afterwards, the sample is filled in the measuring box. The actual moisture content appears on the Liquid Cristal Display after 10 seconds. Measurements can be enforced in shortest time without extensive groundwork. The instrument is supplied as a robust plastic stainless steel box including a Digital-Scales.

MEASURING TECHNIQUE · WOOD MOISTURE · INLINE MEASUREMENT

WD 9.4 – Microwave

The brand new system WD 9.4 to detect the moisture content of wood and wood products. An oscillator sends the microwaves through the wood and the detector receives the microwaves again. The deviation of the microwave caused by the water content in the wood is calculated and displayed in percentage. With this measurement technology you can reach theoretical inline speeds up to 200 m/sec. After input of the measurement parameters the measurement of the moisture can start immediately.
Calibration: The microwave system WD 9.4 does a calibration after each piece of wood back to the original measurement curve and grants therefore exact reproduction of each moisture value.

Technical Specifications: WD 9.4

Operating Temperature: 32–572° F
Power Supply: 220/110 V
Protection: IP 50
Inline Direction: linear/transverse
Outputs: 4–20 mA/0,5 V

Dimensions Sensor: 7.87x7.87x7.48 inch
Measuring Range: 2.75x2.75 inch
Dimension Controls: 12.8x8.27x11.42 inch
Data Transfer: RS 232/485
Inline Speed: max. 656.2 ft/sec.

DF 60 – Capacitive Sensor

The DF 60 inline moisture meter is easy to install and is ready to use without calibration immediately after electrical installment. The adjustment to the wood kinds and wood thicknesses can be done within seconds via two switches. As an option all moisture data of each piece of wood can be transmitted and placed on record at a computer. The display shows a moisture diagram and the adjusted upper and lower alarm.

Technical Specifications: DF 60

Operating Temperature: 50–95° F
Power Supply: 220/110 V
Protection: IP 66
Inline Direction: linear/transverse
Outputs: 0–20 mA

Dimensions Sensor: 9.45x9.45x3.94 inch
Measuring Range: 3.15x7.76 inch
Dimensions Controls: 14.96x31.5x8.27 inch
Data Transfer: RS 232/485
Inline Speed: approx 492.15 ft/sec.

DF 60 SPS

At this application the sensor MCS 60 is directed by a SPC controller. This installment allows to control the measurement of three different types of wood with four sensors per type of wood. Which means that this controller allows to direct twelve MCS 60 sensors.
All important parameters for teh measurement can be programmed with simple steps. The moisture and measurement values can be stored and printed from an optional PC. The DF 60 SPS controller can be integrated in an automated production process.
