Page 3: Trime-Fm2 /-Fm3 Field Measurement Device (Version P2 Or P3)
Since the highest measuring sensitivity is directly around the rods or the access tube, the TRIME-FM would measure too low values, if there was an air gap. In water saturated soils the measured values would be too high. -
Page 4: Battery Operation
1.1.9 PC-Connection via RS232 The TRIME-FM can be connected to a PC via the RS232 connector and the appropriate cable, in order to carry out data logging, changing the operating mode, or calibration. As long as the PC is connected the power-off automatic is disabled to prevent switching off. -

Page 9: The Trime-T3 Tube Access Probe
The TRIME-T3 Tube Access Probe Introduction The measuring of soil water content with Time Domain Reflectometry is now a well established method. However water content profiling is not possible with conventional TDR rod probes. The TRIME tube probe was developed for this reason. Since 1994 the TRIME-T3 has found numerous applications in earth and environmental sciences, fulfilling even the most exacting requirements. -
Page 10: Measuring Experiences
Note that the necessity of a close contact between access tube and material is vital for reliable measurements and that the tubes should be installed by our recommended method. • For example at an assumed water content of 15 vol. % an air gap of 1 mm around the whole length of the tube would result in an underestimation of 1 - 2 vol. -

Some materials, especially very clayey soils and soils with high organic contents, can afford material specific calibrations due to their different dielectric behaviour. -

Inserting T3 into the TECANAT tube When you are going to work with your TRIME-T3 tube access probe: Press the spring mounted wave-guides to the probe body when you insert the T3 probe into the tube! Thereby you avoid ripping off the spring mounted wave-guides. TECANAT plastic tube Please note Should you use new T3 probes (eight wave-guiding plates instead of two) in old GFK tubes, we advice... -
Page 15: Basic Alignment With The Calibration Set
You would have to send instruments and probes to us in any of the above cases where basic alignment is required if you have no calibration set. IMKO will charge calibration costs. Moreover you will save the forwarding charges and you will not have to interrupt your measuring campaign, if you calibrate by yourself. -

START button to switch on the instrument. After this „dummy measurement“ is finished, you can plug in the calibration connector at the side of the TRIME-FM. The display shows the first reference value of dry glass beads for the appropriate probe (e.g. 2,8%). The probe cable must now be unwound and spread out in a way that the cable doesn't touch itself. - Page 17 ASIC LIGNMENT 1 Connect the probe (P3 etc.!) to the TRIME-FM. 2 Press START button for switching on the TRIME-FM. Display shows: TRIME-System Software Version 2.3 SN XXXX (=serial number of the TRIME-FM) 3 Connect the calibration connector at the 7pin flange connector of the TRIME-FM.
