MEP USER GUIDE
Acceptably Dry Plaster or Brick
Your Moisture Encounter Plus will give low read-
ings when the plaster or brick is acceptably dry.
Due to the hygroscopic nature of these materi-
als, moisture values are affected by ambient
humidity and thus can vary according to climatic
conditions. We recommend you satisfy yourself
as to what is ‘acceptably dry’ in your area, and use
the instrument to compare these with areas that
are unacceptable.
Limitations
The Moisture Encounter Plus will not detect or measure
moisture through any electrically conductive materials
including metal sheeting or cladding, black EPDM roof-
ing, butyl roofing, aluminum siding or wet surfaces.
Calibration
For regular on-site assessment of your MEP in moisture
measurement mode, a calibration-check box is available
from the suppliers of your MEP. Should it be found that
readings are outside the set tolerances, it is recom-
mended that the MEP be returned for re-calibration.
Calibration adjustments should not be carried out by
anyone other than Tramex or their authorised service
provider who will issue a calibration certificate on
completion.
