• Avoid testing in locations subject to direct sunlight
or sources of heat.
• Include tests in potentially damp areas such as the
center of the slab and within 3 feet (1 meter) of the
walls.
• Always refer to the adhesive and/or floor covering
manufacturer’s recommendations for the accept-
able moisture content levels of concrete or floor
screeds.
NOTE
The Concrete Moisture Encounter CME5 is
calibrated to give percentage moisture content read-
ings on a clean, bare dust free concrete floor slab,
therefore readings taken on concrete slabs through
paint, coating, adhesives or other materials on the
surface of the slab should be regarded as qualitative
or comparative and not quantitative.
NOTE
To conserve battery life, the Concrete Moisture
Encounter CME5 automatically powers OFF after 5
minutes of inactivity.
