Often it is of interest to monitor both the core temperature and the temperature close to the
surface in a concrete structure. A wise regime to adopt is to use the TOP channel for the
thermocouple placed near the surface and the BOTTOM channel for the thermocouple placed
in the core.
When monitoring cooling pipes, the TOP channel can be used for the inlet while the BOTTOM
for the outlet. Which channels are used where is of course completely up to the user’s
preferences but it is recommended to adopt a standard regime used throughout the project.
Make sure to document the Node number and channel used for each thermocouple.
The thermocouples are normally not accessible after the pour.

A project typically bears the name of the construction site and its Geographical location.
Alternative names are possible.

Each project can contain multiple dashboards with different measurements created from more
than one System. Select the Main Unit to use from the list of available Main Units. The number
of units visible in the list depends on how many units that are assigned to you. If no unit is
visible – contact your sales representative.
A Main Unit can only be assigned to one project at a time. To release a Main Unit and
make it available for another project click on the “finish project” button in the project
settings. Already stored data and existing measurement sessions in the project
disconnected from the Main Unit will not be affected.
When done click
