SKIPPER 5 MOISTURE METER USER GUIDE
SCALE 2: SHALLOW DEPTH
The Skipper 5 can be used in the Shallow Depth scale to
detect moisture on or just below the surface. This dual-
depth feature gives the user more versatility, allowing
for a better understanding of moisture conditions at
different depths. This can be of great benefit in verifying
if high moisture readings within GRP composites or other
structure materials are as a result of deep set moisture,
surface moisture or conductive coatings.
When using both shallow and regular scales the user can
get a comparative of moisture conditions up to a depth
of 10mm (0.4 inches) and moisture conditions up to a
depth of 30mm (1 1⁄4 inches).
In addition the shallow-depth feature operates on a
smaller footprint for greater accuracy and precision of
the readings within GRP composites or other structure
materials. This non-destructive accuracy and precision is
comparable to actual pin readings.
Shallow Depth scale is also very useful when checking
if the surface is dry prior to painting or coating. Tests
should be carried out on a comparative basis selecting
the most appropriate scale, and readings should be taken
from the 0 to 100 comparative scale on the meter dial.
