PiCUS TMS 3
Application
The PiCUS tree inspection equipment offers tree inspectors an extensive diagnostic suite for detecting
and evaluating defects in trees. For evaluating a
tree’s stability, the PiCUS TreeQinetic pulling test and
the PiCUS TMS 3 are suitable methods for measuring the root plate tilt in exhaustive tree inspections.
The PiCUS TMS 3 are the newest generation.
The PiCUS TMS 3 are accelerometer and can be influenced by strong ground shaking or by cracking in
the wood. It is therefore imperative that, during the analysis of tilt measurements, exceptionally high tilt
angles are checked for plausibility. For examination the analysis and raw data functions of the TMS 3
PC software will be used.
Disclaimer
The application of the PiCUS TMS 3 on other objects, can cause damages to both the sensor and the
measured object. The measurement results obtained with the PiCUS TMS 3 require interpretation by a
trained professional.
Conclusions about a tree’s condition, based on the Wind Tipping Curves generated by the PiCUS TMS
3, are the sole responsibility of the interpreter. Neither manufacturer nor dealer are legally liable for any
results caused by the application of the PiCUS TMS 3.
If the angle measurements made with PiCUS TMS 3 show a large tilt, indicating to fell the tree,
the use of other inspection methods is required to verify the measurement results.
