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 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 of the slab should be regarded as qualitative or comparative and not quantitative. |
