LIMITATIONS
The Concrete Moisture Encounter CME5 will not detect
or measure moisture through any electrically conductive
materials including metal sheeting or cladding, many
types of black EPDM rubber or wet surfaces. The Con-
crete Moisture Encounter CME5 is not suited for taking
comparative readings in the concrete substrate through
thick floor coverings such as wood. The Tramex Moisture
Encounter is more suitable for this purpose. Moisture
readings taken with the Concrete Moisture Encounter
CME5 indicate the conditions at the time of testing.
CALIBRATION
For regular on-site assessment of your Concrete Mois-
ture Encounter CME5 in moisture measurement mode,
a calibration-check plate is available from the suppliers
of your Concrete Moisture Encounter CME5. Should it
be found that readings are outside the set tolerances, it
is recommended that the Concrete Moisture Encounter
CME5 be returned for re-calibration. Click here for a
Calibration Request. Calibration adjustments should
not be carried out by anyone other than Tramex or their
authorized service provider who will issue a calibration
certificate on completion. Requirements for quality man-
agement and validation procedures, such as ISO 9001,
have increased the need for regulation and verification of
measuring and test instruments.
