SOFTWARE & APPS ON THE RECORD
Jason Spangler, Wagner Meters’ sales manager, explains how enhancing your data documentation with the DataMaster L6 App can help prevent flooring failure caused by moisture and protect your reputation.
Are you tired of messy, unorganised records when measuring concrete moisture?
Then, the DataMaster L6 app is a must. This app allows you to collect, organise, and compare data from relative humidity (RH) tests in concrete. It’s part of the Wagner Meters’ Rapid RH system for taking concrete moisture readings.
To understand why an app like this is so useful, let’s start with why you need accurate documentation when measuring concrete RH.
WHY ACCURATE DOCUMENTATION MATTERS
Floorcoverings laid over concrete can be surprisingly tricky. Installing the flooring isn’t challenging, but without proper planning, you can end up with a ruined floor.
If the concrete hasn’t properly dried before floor installation, moisture will continue to rise to the surface and into the floorcovering. This can cause mould, warping, or a breakdown of adhesives. Just like that, your beautiful flooring is ruined.
To avoid flooring failure, use a highly accurate relative humidity test, like the Rapid RH L6, to track concrete moisture levels. This way, you’ll know when the moisture levels are safe for installing a floorcovering over the top.
But even if you’re monitoring the moisture levels, you could still have problems if you lose your documentation or get it mixed up with other data. You could get confused and install flooring prematurely, ruining the flooring. Who wants to run that risk?
Furthermore, if there was a problem with installation, you would need documentation then too. So, what’s the modern solution? The DataMaster L6 app.
THE DATAMASTER L6 APP
The DataMaster L6 app is like a digital filing cabinet for all your Rapid RH sensors and measurements. It’s free and compatible with both Apple and Android devices. Here are some of the helpful features that make it a must:
• Bluetooth connectivity. No wires or plugs needed. The app will connect to the DataGrabber or the Total Reader (a device that reads concrete and ambient conditions) and transfer all the stored data directly to your app, where you can view and use it as needed.
• Streamlined data and reporting functions. If you had previous models of the DataMaster app, you’ll notice this is a big upgrade. With the L6, you’ll have time-stamped data, a history of the data, and more.
• Adherence to ASTM F2170 standard. You can download and assemble the data you collected to adhere to the standard – plus email it if needed.
So, what do these features allow you to do?
• Automate data logging with the Total Reader device. This is an improvement over previous versions. Now you don’t have to manually log it. You can also use the DataGrabber for automatic reporting.
• Ensure data integrity. You can generate ‘Read-Only’ reports, ensuring the data can’t be changed.
• Easily upload reports and job data to
F2170reports.com. • Add job metadata, like name, address, hole depth, flooring plans, photos, audio memos, and text notes. • Print reports right from the app.
OVERCOME FLOOR INSTALLATION CHALLENGES
With the DataMaster L6, all your concrete moisture readings will be contained and formatted, giving you a rounded picture of what’s happening in the concrete slab. This can help you, the installer, have the necessary information to stage materials on the job and schedule labour, saving you time and money in the long run.
All this will help avoid moisture failure of the flooring. And even if a moisture issue were to occur (perhaps one you didn’t cause), you’ll have all the documentation to help you determine why.
With its rigorous documentation standards, the DataMaster L6 is the tool you need. Download it now for faster, easier, more organised documentation.
