5. Instrukcja obsługi

The Tramex CMEX5 offers multiple measurement modes:

5.1. Non-Destructive Moisture Measurement (Concrete & General Building Materials)

1. Upewnij się, że urządzenie jest włączone.
2. Place the base of the CMEX5 firmly onto the surface of the material to be tested. The non-destructive electrodes on the base will make contact.
3. Odczytaj zawartość wilgoci w procentachtage directly from the digital display. The device measures to a depth of approximately 3/4 inch (20 mm).
4. For concrete, the display shows Concrete %MC. The meter has Anhydrite & Gypsum scales.

5.2. Ambient Relative Humidity and Temperature Measurement

The built-in hygrometer continuously measures ambient conditions:

• Wilgotność względna (RH%)
• Temperature (T°F/°C)
• Dew Point (DP°F/°C)
• Humidity Ratio (HR G/lb)

These readings are displayed on the main screen alongside moisture content measurements.

5.3. External Probe Measurements (Optional)

The CMEX5 supports optional external probes for specialized measurements:

• Concrete Moisture Probe: Measures in-situ moisture content up to 100 mm (4 inches) deep. Connect the probe to the external port and follow the probe's specific instructions for use.
• Pin Meter Probe: Measures percentage moisture content of wood, drywall, and other building materials. Connect the pin probe to the external port and insert the pins into the material. The CMEX5 can be calibrated for over 500 different wood species via the app.
• Hygro-i2 RH Probe: For in-situ relative humidity testing in concrete slabs (ASTM F2170 compliant). Connect the probe to the external port.
