intelliRock® III– Operating Instructions Guide
What’s new in intelliRock III
Users that are familiar with previous generations of intelliRock will find many new features and
functions in intelliRock III:
• Logger standardization.
The system uses two types of loggers. Maturity loggers that
support either the Nurse-Saul or Arrhenius methods, and temperature-only loggers.
Both types will log data at one-minute intervals for up to 180 days. Available logger cable
lengths are 4, 8, 15, 30, 50, or 100 feet.
• PSI data.
When maturity loggers are in use and a mix’s calibration curve has been up-
loaded to the reader, the intelliRock III system will now display strength in either PSI or
MPa in addition to the temperature and maturity.
• Cloud software.
The new intelliRock cloud software serves as the central repository for
concrete data collected from loggers for all jobs. Instead of transferring data from intel-
liRock readers through a PC and creating a .CSV file, the data now goes into the cloud
which provides enhanced reporting and visualization capabilities.
• Enhanced graphs.
Graphs on the reader have improved view options, range selection
that allow you to view temperature and strength data overlayed. Slider controls in the
cloud software ensure that differentials are accurate when comparing data from multi-
ple loggers, and max/min indicators.
• Full keyboard.
The intelliRock III reader now features a full, alphabetic keyboard that
speeds up data entry.
• Reader display.
The system now features a color screen with better resolution than the
intelliRock II system.
• Bluetooth support.
A Bluetooth connection is now supported for transferring data be-
tween the reader and a PC.
• Remote cellular connectivity.
The intelliRock wireless remote now supports automatic
transfer of logger data to the cloud via 4G LTE cellular connectivity in the U.S. or 3G in
some international locations. The wireless remote can optionally support 900 MHz radio
connectivity.
• PC Uploader Software.
In addition to facilitating data transfer from the reader to the
PC, the Uploader now allows calibration curve data to be downloaded into the reader for
instant strength conversions.
• Micro-USB charging port.
The reader now includes a micro-USB port that serves as the
PC interface and charges the battery.
• Thermal camera.
A thermal camera is built-in to the intelliRock reader to enable captur-
ing of thermal images of concrete structures to visually detect temperature differences.
intelliRock Applications
The intelliRock III system has two applications in concrete construction: estimation of in-place
concrete strength using the maturity method, or in-place concrete temperature profiling.
Maturity
The intelliRock III system estimates in-place concrete strength using the maturity method as
defined by the ASTM C1074 standard. The standard describes two methods for calculating
concrete maturity:
