Features & Applications:

Moisture Encounter Plus is perfect for testing drywall, carpet, roofing, ceramic/CPT tiles, wall coverings, block/brick and PVC. Rest assured, it still possesses all the extraordinary benefits and features you relied on in the original Encounter, such as nondestructive moisture measurement of numerous building materials, as well as deep signal penetration, which detects excess moisture below surfaces. However, this version has many new and extremely useful attributes. A wider detection range for readings of 5–30% moisture in wood and 0–100 relative scale. For better sensitivity and depth of signal penetration (greater than 1"), the rubber electrode pads are in more direct contact with the material being tested. A name you can trust, with enhanced features to make your job easier. Includes 9V battery and soft zipper case.

Features:

  • Non-destructive moisture measurement of wood, plaster, drywall, block, brick roofing and most materials found in a building
  • Deep 1" signal penetration to detect excess moisture in the substrate under a range of covering materials such as drywall, wall coverings, ceramic tiles, PVC and CPT tiles, carpet, etc.
  • Detects elevated moisture through most covering materials such as ceramic tile, drywall, carpet, floor and wall coverings and coatings without having to damage or make holes
  • Wide range of readings for 5 to 30% for wood and 0 to 100 comparative
  • Large, clear, easy-to-read display
  • Hold reading facility and automatic switch off when not being used
  • Rubber electrode pads in direct contact with material being tested
  • Switchable on/off audio warning
  • Default last setting when switched back on
  • This has an automatic power cut-off that switches the unit off when not in use
Applications:

            It is a very sensitive tool. Picks up the slightest moisture. As a home inspector it is a valuable tool to determine if leaks are active or old.

              Comments about Tramex Ltd Tramex Encounter Plus, Non Destructive Moisture Meter:

              The Tramex ME Plus is a great meter for locating moisture. However it is difficult to get exact moisture content levels due to the way the meter reads. I am a full time flooring inspector and use the meter daily to help find problem areas that need a closer look.
              A previous review stated the auto shutoff feature as a con. This feature was added by Tramex per customer requests. The older version of this meter had a slide switch on the side that would allow the meter to turn on when not in use and burn up the battery. As for the audible alarm, I turned it off once and never had to hear it again.

                I own construction business and I am estimating jobs on regular dayly basis. Every time I use my moisture meter i got the job. So many times I give it to my customers to try. People trust and understand the scale more than numbers.

                      Quick results without damaging the tested surface, but there is no off switch. The unit automatically turns off after two minutes if there is no change in reading. That feature makes it hard to shove the unit in your tool belt and move around. How hard would it have been to include a manual off switch? It would also have been nice to be able to turn off the audible alarm without having to hold down a button while trying to use the instrument.

                        I perform Home Inspections and evaluate water losses for the Insurance Industry and I can find moisture trapped in walls and ceilings, When I evaluate water losses I can determine how high the water was and know how much sheetrock in a room has to be removed and replaced, if the meter has high moisture 2' high then I report to the insurance company 3' high on perimeter must be removed.
