MOISTURE ENCOUNTER 5 USER GUIDE

SCALE 5: MASONRY (COMPARATIVE)
Scale 5 has low sensitivity and deep non-destructive
penetrating field and can be used when detecting the
presence of moisture within more dense materials such as
brick, block and concrete. 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).
IMPORTANT
Concrete Moisture Measurement:
The Moisture Encounter 5 is not calibrated for
concrete. The Tramex Concrete Moisture Encounter
CME5 or CMEX5 are specifically designed for concrete
flooring and recommended where quantitative meas-
urements are required. However, a useful comparative
indication of the moisture conditions of the concrete
or subfloor can be obtained with the ME5 set on the
Masonry Scale 5.
