Tramex Concrete Moisture Meter CMEX5 Moisture Encounter X5 Multi Mode Digital Bluetooth with Probe Compatibility
Select Section
Overview
The Tramex CMEX5 Moisture Encounter X5 is a professional-grade, multi-mode moisture meter designed specifically for assessing moisture conditions in concrete slabs, screeds and building materials. Built for flooring installers, restoration technicians, building inspectors and IAQ professionals, it provides a complete moisture assessment solution in a single device.
Using advanced radio frequency (RF) impedance technology, the CMEX5 enables fast, non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete, delivering quantitative moisture content readings based on gravimetric standards, along with Carbide Method (CM) equivalent values. This allows technicians to quickly assess slab conditions and identify moisture issues prior to flooring installation or remediation works.
The CMEX5 is a true multi-mode system, offering four distinct measurement capabilities:
- Non-Destructive (NDT) Mode: Measures concrete moisture content instantly without damaging the surface
- Hygrometer Mode: Built-in sensor measures ambient temperature, relative humidity, dew point and mixing ratio
- RH Probe Mode (Optional): Performs in-situ RH testing in accordance with ASTM F2170 and BS 8201 using Hygro-i2® probes
- Pin Probe Mode (Optional): Provides resistance-based moisture readings in wood and WME values for verification
This flexibility allows technicians to complete full moisture assessments — from rapid scanning and environmental analysis to compliance testing and invasive verification — using one device.
Bluetooth connectivity allows seamless integration with the Tramex Meters App, enabling users to log readings, create moisture maps, attach photos and generate professional reports directly from site. This enhances efficiency and ensures accurate documentation for compliance, insurance and project reporting.
Key Benefits:
- Multi-mode moisture meter covering scanning, RH testing and pin measurement
- Non-destructive concrete moisture testing with quantitative readings
- Gravimetric and Carbide Method equivalent values
- Built-in hygrometer for ambient condition monitoring
- Optional RH probe support for ASTM and BS compliance testing
- Bluetooth connectivity for reporting and data logging
- Complete solution for flooring, restoration and inspection workflows
Applications / Use Cases:
The Tramex CMEX5 is widely used in flooring applications to assess moisture conditions in concrete slabs and screeds prior to installation of timber, vinyl, epoxy and other floor coverings.
In restoration, it enables rapid identification of moisture-affected concrete and monitoring of drying progress. The built-in hygrometer also supports environmental monitoring for drying and mould risk assessment.
With optional RH probes, it is suitable for compliance testing in accordance with ASTM F2170 and BS 8201 standards, making it ideal for professional flooring and construction projects.
