HOW IT WORKS
The Concrete Moisture Encounter CME5 detects and
evaluates the moisture conditions within the cementi-
tious slab or screed by non-destructively measuring the
electrical impedance, which varies in proportion to the
moisture content in the material under test. The
electrical impedance is measured by creating a low
frequency alternating electric field between the
electrodes on the base of the meter as illustrated in the
diagram below.
