Protimeter BLD5365 Surveymaster Moisture Meter Kit

Our top selling moisture meter for building inspection with both pin and non-invasive measurement capabilities

The right moisture meter makes all the difference! And we’ve made even more improvements to enhance the Protimeter Surveymaster. This versatile pin and non-invasive moisture meter is ergonomically designed for easy, one-handed operation to measure moisture in buildings, and other related structures, both on and below the surface. This allows you to assess moisture levels for both new and refurbishing activities, as well as to diagnose moisture-related problems in existing buildings. All Protimeter instruments have a two-year warranty. When concise and accurate environmental readings need to be reported, the Surveymaster gets the job done. The ability to use both functions to instantly determine the potential evidence of excessive moisture makes this instrument ideal for many applications.

How it Works

Search Mode Non Invasive

The search mode is used to assess the moisture level beneath the surface of solid walls and floors independently of the surface conditions. The nominal depth of measurement is 19mm (3/4"); this depends on the density and other characteristics of the material being measured. When held against the surface, the instrument transmits a signal into the material. The relative moisture level is shown on the digital display and its moisture condition is shown on the accompanying scale of colour coded lights. The measurement presentaion helps the user to:

• Look for moisture behind wall and floor coverings such as tile and vinyl
• Assess, in relative terms, if the material is dry, borderline or damp condition
• Map the extent of the problem numerically
• Non-invasive pinless radio frequency finds moisture at a depth where moisture is not always visible - up to 19mm (3/4") below the surface
• This mode of measurement is not adversely affected by the presence of surface moisture

Applications: Shower pans, behind ceramic tile, fine finishes, water stains, tile and vinyl floor coverings, joists, around toilets, drywall, below grade floors and walls, plaster, masonry, concrete and concrete block

Note: Metal additives in concrete or foil linings can create false positive readings

Measure Mode Pin-Type

This mode is used to measure the moisture level at the surface and at incremental depth, when used with the auxilliary probes. Measure mode readings are precise and specific to the immediate area of contact of the electrodes. The actual moisture content of wood is shown on the digital display with the corresponding moisture condition shown on the accompanying scale of colour coded lights. Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) values are shown for other non-conductive, porous building materials.

• Pin-type probes measure moisture in wood and other building materials (use provided wood calibration chart for more precise readings)
• Deep wall probes establish the presence of moisture in wall cavity insulation, sub and surface structures
• Other probes are available for EIFS, wood floors, baseboards and more

Applications: Wood and wood floors, subfloors, drywall, gyprock, concrete and concrete block, stucco, plaster, masonry and EIFS
