Tramex CMEX Concrete Encounter

DESIGNED FOR THE FLOORING INDUSTRY

Concrete Encounter CME 4 is for measuring moisture content instantly in concrete floors and floor screeds without the need to drill or damage the surface.

SCREEDS AND CONCRETE FLOORS MUST BE DRY BEFORE THE FLOOR COVERING IS INSTALLED

Regular checking of moisture content during the drying out period of a new concrete floor or floor screed is important to ensure it has reached sufficient dryness to accept the floor covering.

Excess moisture in the concrete could cause latent problems such as condensation or failure of the adhesive under the floor covering

The Concrete Encounter will give you an instant reading of moisture content to over 6% for concrete and 0 to 10 comparative for Gypsum floor screeds enabling you to make an informed decision on when to install the floor covering

To use, simply switch on and press down the instrument firmly against the surface. As many non-destructive tests as you need can be carried out in seconds without the need to drill or damage the concrete.

Product Design:
The Concrete Encounter CME 4 is a hand-held electronic moisture meter operating on the principle of non-destructive impedance measurement. Parallel co-planer electrodes are mounted on the base which, during operation, transmit low-frequency signals into the concrete floor screed to a depth of approx. 12.5mm (.5 inch).

While concrete under normal conditions can never be completely dry, the instrument has been calibrated on acceptably dry material. In operation it compares the change in impedance caused by the presence of dampness and displays this on a clear, easy to read analog dial.

Operating Procedure:
To carry out moisture tests simply brush any dust from a smooth area of concrete and also from electrodes, switch on the Concrete Encounter, place CME 4 firmly onto the surface, fully compressing the spring loaded signal enhancing contacts on the base of the CME 4. Read the moisture content from the clear analog dial.

The CME 4 is calibrated to give percentage moisture content reading on a clean, bare dust free concrete floor slab, thus reading taken on concrete slabs through paint, coatings, adhesives or other material on the surface of the slab should be regarded as qualitative or comparative and not quantitative.

DON'T TAKE RISKS WITH EXCESS MOISTURE!!
Moisture test before you install a floor covering.

Excess moisture in concrete substrate can cause costly problems for the installer. Avoid the risk of having these problems and floor failures by testing for excess moisture before installing a floor. Test the fast, easy, clean and non-destructive way with the Tramex Concrete Encounter CME 4.
