With Touch-n-Sense technology, the Easy Reader “comes to life” on contact with the Smart Sensor – turning on, taking a reading, and holding the data display for 5 minutes before powering off. And as always, subsequent readings can be taken at any time with IMMEDIATE results, the company said.
The Rapid RH 4.0EX Smart Sensor, with CMOS Sens technology, equilibrates faster - and it stays equilibrated because the sensor never leaves the concrete. Plus, each Smart Sensor comes with a NIST-traceable certificate of calibration, making data records and ASTM calibration compliance faster and easier, Wagner Meters added.
The Rapid RH 4.0EX provides IMMEDIATE savings. At pennies per square foot, no re-calibration or re-certification issues, and the most rapid readings available, the Wagner Rapid RH™ 4.0EX saves you time and money, the company stated.
