INTRODUCTION

Hi there!Thank you for trust ing our brand and choosing

t he Moisture Encount er ME5,f romTramex.It is our goal

t o ensure t hat you are always happy wit h what youbought

fromus,so please let us know if you have any questions

and rest assured, we are always here t o help.

The Moist ure Encount er ME5 enables non-invasive

moisture measurement and det ect ion in a wide range of

building materials.The instrument operat es on the prin-

ciple t hat t he elect rical impedance of a mat erial varies in

proport ion to it s moisture cont ent .

To measure/det ect moist ure, the t hree co-planar

conductive rubber elect rodes mount ed ont he base of

t he instrument case are light ly pressed ont o t he wood or

mat erial sample.The inst rument measures t he electrical

impedance of t he sample by creat ing a low frequency

alt ernat ing elect ric eld bet ween the electrodes.This

non-dest ructive eld penetrat es t he mat erial under test

to a depth of approximately 30mm (1 1/ 4 inches),or 10

mm (0.4 inches) in Shallow Dept hmode.The very small

alt ernat ing current owing t hrough the eld is inversely

proport ional t o t he impedance of t he mat erial.The instru-

ment detects t his current ,determines its amplitude and,

af ter processing,drives t he point er of t he moving coil

meter t o the computed moist ure value.

As t here is a wide variat ion in the nominal elect rical

impedance of different mat erial types,t he instrument is

provided wit h ve select able scales which are optimized

for test ing:

1.Wood,Timber

2.Shallow Depth

3.Drywall,Roo ng

4.Plaster,Tile

5.Masonry

By select ionof an appropriate scale,t he instrument can

also be used for t he detectionand locationof elevated

moisture in or behind a range of covering mat erials such

as wall, oor and ceiling tiles,siding,carpet and laminat ed

oor coverings.

Shallow Dept h:

10 mm or

0.4 inches

Regular Dept h:

30mm or

1 1/ 4 inches

SHALLOW-DEPTH FUNCTIONALITY:

The ME5 incorporates non-destruct ive dual-dept h f unc-

t ionalit y. The regular non-dest ruct ive penetrat ion depth is

30mm (1 ¼inches) when using :

Scale 1 - Wood,Timber;

Scale 3 - Drywall, Roo ng;

Scale 4 - Plaster,Tile;

Scale 5 - Masonry.

(The depth of eld penetrationwill depend onthe density

of t he mat erial being t ested.)

The Shallow Dept h scale is designed t o have a eld

penetrat ion of up t o 10mm (0.4 inches).

Shallow depth penetrat ion allows for:

• t he eliminat ion of subst rat e in uence when t esting

t he moist ure condit ions of t he coverings,

• greater accuracy and precision of the readings

within the coverings.

This non-destructive accuracy and precision is compara-

ble t o actual pin readings.

NOTE:

While t he Shallow Depth scale eliminat es t he in uence

of any subst rat e beyond 10mm (0.4 inches),t he regular

depth does not eliminat e t he surf ace coat ing.The regular

depth gives readings f rom the surface to a depth of up t o

30mm (1 ¼inches).

Using the Dual-Depth functionalit y by swit ching bet ween

t he appropriat e ‘regular depth’ scale and shallow depth

scale,allows for a comparat ive of ‘surf ace’ versus ‘surf ace

+ core’ moisture.

• Shallow Depth reads t he surface or t op 10mm only.

• ‘Regular depth’ scales read t he surf ace and the

substrat e up t o 30mm.

• A comparat ive of moist ure condit ions bot h ‘wit hin

the materials’and ‘within and behind the materials’

canbe made ont his basis.

INSTRUMENT FEATURES

Your Moist ure Encount er ME5 employs advanced analog

and digital t echnology t o enable t he incorporat ion of t he

many feat ures list ed below:

• There are 2 scales on t he meter face.A Wood Scale

and Comparat ive Scale.Refer t o t he t op Wood

scale when measuring moist ure in wood using Scale

1 - Wood,Timber; or whenmeasuring wood using

Scale 2 - Shallow Depth. Refer t o t he bot tom

Comparat ive Scale when t est ing all other mat erials.

• Four simple pushbut ton cont rols, ON/OFF, SCALE,

HOLD/ AUDIOand Bluetooth.

• Non-dest ruct ive moist ure readings t aken in wood

f rom 5% t o 30% are displayed on amoving coil

meter withlinear scale.

• Audio signal sounds whenmeter indicat es high

reading.

• Comparat ive readings between zero and 100 can

bet aken in or throughdrywall,ceramic or porcelain

tiles,carpet, oor coverings,roo ng,plaster,and

other mat erials suchas brick and cement block.The

meter scale is also color coded to assist in

identifyingareas of wet and dry.

• Aut omat ic supply t imeout (5 minut es)conserves

bat tery life.

• Bluetoothconnectivity.

• Supply timeout is automatically extended if a

change in met er reading is detected or if any

but ton is pressed.

• 10 second bleep warning oninstrument sounder

prior to end of supply timeout period.

• Last used scale is memorized at supply timeout

and automatically selected next time ON/OFF

but ton is pressed. If Bluetoot h was selected prior

t o the Moist ure Encount er ME5 aut omatically

powering off it will be rest ored next t ime ON/OFF

is select ed.

• LEDs illuminat e for selected scale.

• HOLD/ AUDIObut t on f reezes moving coil met er

and LED will ash. HOLD facilit at es readings taken

out -of -sight.

• If HOLD/ AUDIOwas select ed prior t o supply

t imeout ,t he f rozenmet er reading is digitally

memorized and restored next time ON/ OFF is

selected.

• If t he bat tery volt age is gett ing low,t he ve

LEDs ashsequentially for ashort period.The

inst rument will continue t o operat e for some

time but it is recommended t hat t he bat teries be

changed as soon as convenient .
