MEP USER GUIDE

removed to ensure your Moisture Encounter Plus
comes into direct contact with the surface of the

the depth and extent of the moisture before car-
rying out roof repairs. Alternatively, the area can
be checked with a Tramex Professional resistance
type moisture meter with insulated pins.
Testing Drywall user guide
Because of its deep signal penetration, your Moisture
Encounter Plus can identify excess moisture within and
behind drywall. It can also identify excess moisture be-
hind ceramic tile and other wall coverings. As calibration
is not practical on this type of construction, readings
should be taken from the comparative scale (0 to 100)
on the meter dial.
Testing on ceramic tiles and other wall and floor
coverings
Your Moisture Encounter Plus can be used to detect and
identify areas of elevated moisture within or behind
most types of wall and floor coverings. For example the
Moisture Encounter Plus can detect elevated moisture
behind most types of ceramic tiles.
