Product catalog summary
Overview: The Surveymaster™ Protimeter Dual-Function Moisture Meter is designed for building professionals to assess moisture levels in buildings during construction and refurbishment. Excessive moisture can lead to decay and deterioration, making this tool essential for identifying, managing, and remedying moisture issues.
Operational Modes:
  • Search Mode (Non-Invasive): This mode assesses moisture beneath surfaces without being affected by surface conditions. It measures up to 3/4 inch deep and is ideal for detecting moisture behind wall and floor coverings.
  • Measure Mode (Pin-Type): This mode measures surface moisture and incremental depth using auxiliary probes. It provides precise readings specific to the contact area, displaying Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) values for various materials.
Reference Mode: This patent-pending feature allows users to establish a baseline or dry standard, comparing subsequent readings to determine if materials are above or below this reference.
Specifications:
  • Measurement Depth: Non-invasive up to 3/4 inch; Pin up to 1/2 inch.
  • Power: Operates on a 9 V battery.
  • Warranty: 2 years for mechanical or manufacturing defects, excluding wear parts or accessories.
  • Range: Non-invasive: 70 to 999 relative; Pin measurement: 7.9% to 99% WME.
  • Display: Digital LCD backlit and 60 LEDs indicating dry, at risk, and wet conditions.
Applications: Suitable for use in shower pans, behind ceramic tiles, fine finishes, water stains, tile and vinyl floor coverings, joists, around toilets, drywall, below-grade floors and walls, plaster, masonry, concrete, and concrete blocks.
Additional Features: User-adjustable settings include auto shut-off, hold feature, backlight, audible alerts, and moisture condition indicators.

Surveymaster™ Protimeter Dual-Function Moisture Meter-1

Surveymaster™ Protimeter Dual-Function Moisture Meter The Surveymaster™ can help building professionals—such as contractors, surveyors, home builders and architects—assess building moisture levels during new build and refurbishing activities. Excessive moisture in buildings can lead to decay and deterioration of components and decorative finishes. Professionals involved with the identification, management and remedy of moisture need tools that help them to: • Identify the extent of the moisture penetration • Diagnose the cause of the problem • Monitor change in the moisture level Protimeter moisture meters and hygrometers satisfy these requirements comprehensively. The Surveymaster™ is the preferred industry choice for surveying and investigating moisture in buildings. Amphenol Advanced Sensors Two Operational Modes This reliable moisture meter has two modes of operation—search and measure. These functions can help the user to distinguish sub-surface from surface moisture, essential information when trying to establish the extent and cause of a da

Surveymaster™ Protimeter Dual-Function Moisture Meter-2

Search Mode Non-Invasive Measure Mode Pin-Type The search mode is used to assess the moisture level beneath the surface of solid walls and floors independently of surface conditions. The nominal depth of the measurement is 3/4 inch (19 mm); this depends on the density and other characteristics of the material being measured. When held against the surface, as shown below, 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 color-coded lights. This measurement presentation...

Surveymaster™ Protimeter Dual-Function Moisture Meter-3

Reference mode (Patent Pending) In both Pin and Search mode, Protimeter’s patent pending Reference Mode can be used. Reference mode can be useful when trying to establish what materials are above or below a point of reference or dry standard. Measure the dry standard or baseline material until the meter’s reading is stable then press for seconds. This will store the reading until the mode changes of the meter turns off. Now all readings taken after will be displayed as normal, but below you will see a second reading that shows you if the material is measured above or below the original reading....
