SCALE 3: DRYWALL (COMPARATIVE)
Scale 3 has a high sensitivity and deep non-destructive
penetrating field. The Moisture Encounter ME5 can iden-
tify excess moisture within and behind drywall. As calibra-
tion is not practical on this type of construction, readings
should be taken from the comparative bottom line of the
meter dial (0 to 100).
Scale 2 Shallow Depth can be utilised for Drywall if
readings are required whilst reducing the influence of the
substrate materials.
SCALE 3: ROOFING (COMPARATIVE)
Scale 3 has high sensitivity and deep non-destructive
penetrating field. This scale allows the user to detect the
presence of moisture in built-up roofing systems covered
with multi-ply roofing felt, PVC, modified bitumen (torch-
on) or other non-conductive membranes. As calibration is
not practical on this type of construction, readings should
be taken from the comparative bottom line of the meter
dial (0-100).
