The Protimeter BLD5365 Dual-Function, versatile pin and non-invasive Moisture Meter is ergonomically designed for easy, one-handed operation to measure moisture in buildings and other related structures both on and below the surface. The Protimeter BLD5365 Surveymaster can help building professionals—such as contractors, surveyors, home builders and architects; Assess building moisture levels during new build and refurbishing activities.

Excessive moisture in buildings can lead to decay and deterioration of components and decorative finishes. Professionals involved with the identification, management and remedy of moisture need tools that help them to:

Identify the extent of the moisture penetration

Diagnose the cause of the problem

Monitor change in the moisture level

Two Operational Modes

The reliable Protimeter BLD5365 moisture meter has two modes of operation—search and measure. These functions can help the user to distinguish sub-surface from surface moisture, essential information when trying to establish the extent and cause of a dampness problem.

Search Mode—Non-Invasive

The search mode is used to assess the moisture level beneath the surface of solid walls and floors independently of surface conditions. The nominal depth of the measurement is 3/4 inch (19 mm); this depends on the density and other characteristics of the material being measured. When held against the surface, as shown below, the Protimeter BLD5365 transmits a signal into the material. The relative moisture level is shown on the digital display and its moisture condition is shown on the accompanying scale of color-coded lights.
