Envco – Environmental Equipment

The TRASE System I is a self-contained, portable unit designed for field use for fast and accurate measurements of moisture in various materials (e.g. soil, cement, powders, grains etc) using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). This is a true TDR instrument with automatic beginning and end point determinations and full graphing abilities, allowing determination of both time and impedance differences along a waveguide.

• Measuring range 0 - 100% Volumetric Moisture content
• High Accuracy (+/- 2% FS or better), 1000 point resolution
• Largest Pulse on any commercial TDR unit - 1.25V/ 120 ps. risetime give the very best definition of dielectric changes along a waveguide
• Built-in Datalogger for 200 graphs / 6,300 readings (more with added memory)
• Remotely Multiplex from 1 up-to 256 measuring points on a daily, weekly or monthly basis
• Portable, battery operated for field use and use in the lab
• Wide variety of low cost TDR waveguides (both uncoated and coated) available
• Easy programmable with One-Key control
• No calibration required
• Ready to operate on site or remotely from your computer.

Commands are entered via the keypad, data are output to the display screen, and a rechargable battery pack supplies electrical power. Includes the Trase Analyzer, Waveguide Connector, 15 cm long Waveguide Set, Buriable Waveguide, 6AH Power Pack, and Battery Charging Transformer.

Of course, like all Trase systems, it measures 0-100% volumetric water content, +/- 2% FS, and 1200 pt. resolution. A powerful 1.25 Volt (125ps rise time) pulse, you get reflections in almost any condition. A complete system designed to allow special probes and lookup tables for automating your new and exciting ideas. There are a variety of optional connectors and waveguides for your consideration, ranging from depths of 10 cm (3.39 in.) to 1.83 m (6 ft.) all available, used in a portable manner or permanently installed for periodic moisture monitoring. You can add our multiplexer option and read up to 256 waveguides monitoring the most complex water /soil/ media relationships all at the lowest cost / measurement point.

Large LCD matrix display screen for direct viewing of TDR waveforms or reviewing collected data, both can be downloaded to computers directly or remotely via dial-up modem or over the internet via CDMA or GSM network carriers. Trase X1 is configured for long term use in remote field conditions, or for unattended lab use.

Environmentally sealed case, one for instrumentation another for 2 battery power service. It comes complete with 15 cm. long waveguides, charger and associated software.
