Ambient Data Loggers: Peace of Mind in a Box for Wood Flooring Installers Introduction

M

onitoring and controlling temperature and humidity are critical for all phases of wood flooring installation.

But a lot can happen at a job site that you’re not aware of while you were away. You might

think you’ve had proper conditions for the last 72 hours while your flooring is acclimating, but without your knowledge, somebody opened the windows somewhere. During installation, you might think you’re maintaining perfect ambient conditions, but someone turns off the A/C every night. Jason Spangler Wagner Meters’ Flooring Division Manager Jason Spangler, Wagner Meters’ Sales Manager, has more than 25 years’ experience in sales and sales management across a broad spectrum of industries. He has successfully launched a variety of products to the market, including the original Rapid RH® concrete moisture test. Jason, who received an MBA from West Texas A&M University in November 2018, has extensive industry involvement, including the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), the International Certified Flooring Installers Association (CFI), and is Vice Chairman of Associations for The Flooring Contractors Association (FCICA). Call Wagner Meters today at (844) 533-9100 and ask for Jason or www.wagnermeters.com.

Even after the installation is done, the floor can be damaged by the owners if they don’t maintain proper ambient conditions. If they start to see a problem, the blame could fall to you. So you need to carefully monitor and control moisture every step of the way to ensure a successful installation, defend against liability, and protect your reputation. But you don’t live at the job site, so how can you do that without hiring detectives to watch the place?

The Data Logger Solution Temperature and relative humidity data loggers are becoming a more realistic solution to the problem. They can be programmed to constantly monitor relative temperature and humidity for you so that you don’t have to be on the site. Wagner Meters offers a small battery-powered data logger that can record ambient temperature and relative humidity for 300 days of replaceable battery life or up to 12,000 readings. The Smart Logger™ communicates via Bluetooth® to a smart device app for download of recorded readings, report generation, and emailing or printing of report data. These capabilities, combined with its rugged design and affordability to be scaled in numbers to fit any size job, Continued on page 32
