Concrete Encounter CME4

for measuring moisture content … instantly … in concrete floors and floor screeds

without the need to drill or damage the surface.

Product Design:

The Concrete Encounter CME4 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 CME 4 and place firmly onto the surface, fully

compressing the spring loaded signal enhancing contacts on the base. Read the moisture content

from the clear analog dial.

The CME 4 is calibrated to give percentage  moisture content readings on a clean, bare dust free

concrete floor slab. Thus, readings taken on concrete slabs through paint, coatings, adhesives or

other materials on the surface should be regarded as qualitative or comparative and not quantitative.

HOW IT WORKS

Co-planer electrodes on the base of the Concrete Encounter CME 4 transmit parallel low frequency

signals calibrated to give average moisture content by comparing the change in impedance between

damp and acceptably dry concrete.
