CONCRETE MOISTURE ENCOUNTER X5 USER GUIDE

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the new Concrete Moisture
Encounter X5 instrument, from Tramex. This Concrete
Moisture Encounter has 4 measurement modes.
1. Non-destructive test (NDT) mode
The Tramex Concrete Moisture Encounter X5 is a
non-destructive digital multi moisture meter for
concrete floors and slabs utilizing state of the art
electronic technology to provide instant and precise
quantitative measurement of moisture content
based on the gravimetric oven testing method. The
CMEX5 also provides Carbide Method equivalent
readings for concrete and other cementitious
substrates as well as comparative readings as per
ASTM F2659.
2. Hygrometer mode
The built-in Ambient Relative Humidity Sensor
measures Ambient Relative Humidity, Temperature,
Dew Point and Humidity Ratio (or Mixing Ratio) of
the environment.
3. Equilibrium/Ambient Relative Humidity mode
(optional plug-in probe)
Using the optional plug-in Hygro-i2 RH probes,
the Concrete Moisture Encounter X5 will measure
Equilibrium Relative Humidity, Temperature, Dew
Point and Humidity Ratio in structural materials. A
structural material such as a concrete slab can be
tested using the in-situ method or RH Hood methods
(International Standards: ASTM F2170 & BS 8201,
8203, 5325). Relative Humidity Probes can also
be used for ambient RH measurements within air
spaces.
