Trotec T4000 multifunctional meter
Intelligent climate and moisture measurement
The T4000 meter is a practical and cost-effective alternative to using multiple specialised instruments. It is ideal for building diagnostics, water damage restoration, wood trade and processing and more.
The innovative base unit features an improved button-and-touchscreen control system, and it is fully compatible with a wide range of interchangeable SDI sensors and electrodes. The device automatically recognises the sensor type upon connection.
In addition, the T4000 meter is backward compatible with the T3000. Users can operate both existing sensors and new sensors with either device. This compatibility simplifies system upgrades and the replacement of defective units. At the same time, it helps protect your investment.

Typical use cases
-
Moisture mapping in building materials, walls and floors: Various types of moisture sensors enable you to pinpoint moisture ingress, assess water damage, and make informed decisions regarding remediation.
-
Monitoring drying processes: Long-term logging tracks drying progress over days, weeks or even years, essential for verifying remediation success.
-
Monitoring air humidity: Accurately assessing air humidity is essential to prevent corrosion, material degradation, and mould.
-
Screed readiness assessment: Determining whether screed layers are sufficiently dry for further construction helps save time and avoid moisture entrapment.
-
Wood working, forestry, and timber trade: A built-in menu allows selection from hundreds of wood types, each with validated material profiles stored directly in the device.
Climate and moisture measurement possibilities
-
Climate measurement options include air temperature, humidity, dew point, critical dew point(s), absolute humidity, specific moisture and airflow (essential for assessing indoor climate and condensation risk)
-
Moisture measurement - resistance method (material moisture); Uses pins to measure electrical resistance within materials. Ideal for wood, plaster, and masonry
-
Moisture measurement - capacitive method (surface moisture): A non-destructive, indicative method that detects changes in a material’s dielectric properties
-
Moisture measurement - microwave method (depth moisture): A non-destructive method that measures subsurface moisture using microwave frequencies

Tool consolidation: With its modular design and quick-coupling SDI sensor system, the T4000 eliminates the need for multiple devices, reducing equipment costs and simplifying logistics. Different measuring modes for wood moisture, building moisture, air humidity, airflow, temperature, and tracer gas (leak detection).
Non-destructive testing: Capacitive and microwave sensors enable thorough diagnostics without damaging building materials. Grid measurements with a maximum resolution of 50 × 40 can be configured to generate a colour-coded matrix illustrating humidification patterns.
Heatable sensor element: Climate sensors include a heatable element for cleaning the sensor to prevent drift due to humidity saturation or chemical deposits.
Cross-sector adaptability: From insulation checks in new builds to diagnosing moisture in ageing structures, the T4000 suits a wide range of use cases:
- Water damage restoration
- Professional leak detection
- Real estate management
- Construction sites
- Industrial and manufacturing environments
- Workshops and garages
Zoom and screenshot function for photographic documentation: For usability purposes, an integrated screenshot feature directly and easily highlights what the user actually sees in the LCD. A temporary large-digit display ensures measurement values are clearly visible in handheld snapshots – ideal for photographic records.
Data integration and reporting: The built-in Bluetooth interface enables fast data transfer to the MultiMeasure Mobile app for analysis and report generation. Ideal for streamlining communication with clients and colleagues.
Comprehensive database: Integrated material characteristics for hundreds of types of wood for wood moisture measurement, incl. temperature compensation for higher precision
Extensive memory: The device supports structured management and archiving of customer and measurement data. An internal memory and removable microSD stores over 2,000,000 measurements.
Backward compatibility: Adapter cables ensure compatibility between old and new SDI sensors across the T4000 and T3000 units, protecting previous investments, simplifying exchanges of defective units, and ensuring seamless integration.
