The Protimeter Moisture Measurement System is a powerful and versatile instrument for measuring and diagnosing dampness in buildings. The user can switch between moisture meter and hygrometer modes of operation to assess the moisture level of solid materials and air within the built environment. This capability enables the user to gain a thorough understanding of the extend and nature of dampness related problems in buildings.

Dampness in buildings can lead to decay and deterioration of materials and unhealthy living environments, problems that can be expensive to resolve if not identified correctly and addresses at an early stage. The Protimeter MMS is used to identify and diagnose dampness before the problems illustrated below occur.

Complete Measurement Capability

The Protimeter Moisture System (MMS) enables the user to measure moisture conditions in buildings from various perspectives to aid understanding of how and why damp conditions may prevail. It combines moisture meter and hygrometer functionality in one state-of-the-art instrument for a complete moisture surveying capability. Use the Protimeter MMS to:

• Identify presence of moisture on and below surfaces
• Quantify Wood Moisture Equivalent levels of materials
• Measure relative humidity and temperature of air
• Confirm the occurrence of condensation on surfaces

Ergonomic Design

The Protimeter MMS is sample to set up and use. Operational modes are selected at the touch of a button and information is presented on a large, back lit liquid crystal display. The radio frequency sensor has been positioned so that a large number of moisture readings can be taken quickly and tirelessly and the Hygrostick* hygrometer sensors react quickly to changes in ambient temperature and relative humidity.

Using the Protimeter MMS moisture meter and hygrometer modes in combination gives the practitioner a complete diagnostic capability. Search and Measure moisture meter modes distinguish sub-surface moisture from surface moisture in materials and the Condensator mode confirms the presence - or otherwise - of condensation on surfaces.

Moisture Meter - Search Mode

The Protimeter MMS has a radio frequency moisture sensor located in a bulge ate the top of the instrument. This is held against a surface to obtain a relative moisture level reading within the material. In this way the user can establish if there are high moisture levels within material that warrant more detailed investigation. This technique is fast and does not mark or damage surfaces.

Moisture Meter - Measure Mode

By pushing two electrode needles into materials, a precise moisture measurement can be obtained. Actual moisture content values for wood and wood moisture equivalent (%WME) values for masonry are displayed together with text messages that tell the user if the material is in a dry, borderline or damp condition. If high moisture readings have been detected beneath he surface in Search mode, the Deep Wall Probes are used to quantify the moisture levels at varying depths.

Hygrometer Mode

When the Hygrostick hygrometer probe is connected to the instrument the MMS can be used as a hygrometer to measure relative humidity, ambient temperature and dew point. In this way the moisture condition of domestic and commercial environments can be accessed and compared. Hygrosticks can be also be embedded in solid floors and walls to obtain a material's equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) value. This is a very effective technique for determining if any solid materials is in a dry or damp condition.

Condensator Mode

A specialised hygrometer mode for assessing the risk - or confirming the presence - of condensation on surfaces. When the Surface Temperature Sensor is connected and held against a surface, the MMS displays the difference between the surface's temperature and the dew point, together with text messages that confirm whether or not condensation is occurring. An optional infra red remote surface temperature sensor can also be used for rapid condensation risk analysis.

Scope of Supply

The Protimeter MMS kit comprises a carry case containing the MMS instrument and a range of standard accessories, as detailed below.
