SHALLOW-DEPTH FUNCTIONALITY:
The ME5 incorporates non-destructive dual-depth func-
tionality. The regular non-destructive penetration depth is
30mm (1 ¼ inches) when using :
Scale 1 - Wood, Timber;
Scale 3 - Drywall, Roofing;
Scale 4 - Plaster, Tile;
Scale 5 - Masonry.
(The depth of field penetration will depend on the density
of the material being tested.)
The Shallow Depth scale is designed to have a field
penetration of up to 10mm (0.4 inches).
Shallow depth penetration allows for:
• the elimination of substrate influence when testing
the moisture conditions of the coverings,
• greater accuracy and precision of the readings
within the coverings.
This non-destructive accuracy and precision is compara-
ble to actual pin readings.
NOTE:
While the Shallow Depth scale eliminates the influence
of any substrate beyond 10mm (0.4 inches), the regular
depth does not eliminate the surface coating. The regular
depth gives readings from the surface to a depth of up to
30mm (1 ¼ inches).
