The Protimeter Surveymaster incorporates two modes of operation - Measure and Search. This combination enables the user to distinguish surface moisture from sub-surface moisture, essential information when trying to establish the extent and cause of a dampness problem.

Measure Mode
Utilising the two-pins at the top of the instrument, a direct reading of the surface moisture level can be read. Measure mode readings are precise and specific to the immediate area of contact of the electrodes. The numerical values displayed in the LCD display represent the actual percent moisture content of wood (% MC) and the wood moisture equivalent (WME) of concrete, dry wall and other materials.

• Pin-type probes measure moisture in wood and other building materials
• Deep wall probes establish the presence of moisture in wall cavity insulation, sub and surface structures
• Hammer electrode can be used to measure the moisture level at depths wood floors.

Search Mode (non-invasive)
Measures moisture beneath the surface without drilling holes to a nominal depth of 0-20mm. Hold against the wall to allow a radio signal to penetrate the surface. This is the best method for assessing the moisture content beneath a tiled / covered surface. The relative moisture level of the material under investigation on a scale of 0-999.

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.

Digital Readings
The Protimeter Survymaster features two displays that are synchronized, a digital LCD display supported by a colour-coded LED scale.

The LCD display shows the digital readings for both the measure and search modes. The colour coded LED scale indicates the material’s moisture condition, helping to support the readings. This provides a very simple way to determin if the readings are Dry, Borderline and Damp.
