THIN MATERIALS
For single materials, thinner than 10 mm,
the sensitivity of the meter is normally
n o t e n o u g h . H o w e v e r, c o m p a r i n g
measurements to determine wet spots in
the material can still be performed.
To obtain a more accurate measuring result
we recommend measurements in a pile
without air spaces between the single parts
and with a minimum thickness of 20 mm
for the pile.
BASE
With material thickness < 50 mm the base
material is very important.
Avoid a metal base. The best results are
achieved if the material to be measured is
hold into the air. Polystyrene material with
a minimum thickness of 20 mm can also be
used.
WET SURFACES
In case of material with wet surface a PVC-
foil can be used between the material and
measuring springs electrodes.
REFERENCE MEASUREMENT
How to locate wet spots:
1. Set the Material code to C1 or P1
2. Hold the spring electrodes to a surface
you know is dry
3. The received value corresponds to a “dry
material” and could be used as reference
value
4. Now it is possible to locate moist and
leakage using the reference value
5. By moving the measurement springs
over the surface you could quickly
locate the leakage and find out about
the extent of the moist damage
