What differentiates Nova from Nova Split?
Nova has a single external sensor (30 cm cable), while Nova Split features two external sensors (1.5 m and 3 m cables).
-
What is the Nova sensor used for?
Monitoring concrete temperature, maturity, and strength within structures.
-
How long can Nova operate continuously?
Nova sensors operate continuously for over 150 days.
-
How does Nova differ from Gaia 300?
Nova sensors are fully embeddable, single-use sensors entirely placed within concrete. Gaia sensors are reusable, with only external thermocouples embedded.

-
Do Nova sensors retain settings after deactivation?
Yes, the configuration remains stored even after deactivation.
-
How can I optimize Bluetooth signal strength?
Mount the sensor securely to reinforcement bars with the logo facing upwards, ensuring a concrete cover thickness of less than 5 cm.
-
Why is the Nova sensor not visible in the app?
Verify Bluetooth is enabled, the sensor is activated, and within range. Restart your device and the app if necessary.
-
What if the activation LED does not blink?
Reinsert cable tip(s) into the sensor for 60 seconds, then remove. If unresolved, contact Maturix support.
