Digital concrete moisture encounter
The CM 1700 moisture meter by NK BY NEURTEK enables non-destructive moisture measurements in concrete and floors, providing accurate results without drilling or damaging the surface.
What is the CM 1700 digital moisture meter?
The CM 1700 moisture meter by NK BY NEURTEK is a non-destructive digital moisture meter that operates using electrical impedance. Simply place the device on the surface to obtain reliable and immediate readings.
It is ideal for:
- On-site inspections.
- Wooden floor installation.
- Surface preparation before painting.
- Quick detection of moisture buildup or leaks.
⚠️ Not suitable for conductive materials such as metal, rubber, or wet surfaces.
How does the digital moisture meter work?
- It uses 8 electrodes that generate a low-frequency electric field.
- It analyzes moisture several centimeters deep without drilling or damaging the material.
- Fast and stable readings, thanks to the Max Hold function, ideal for hard-to-reach areas.
Measurement scales
The CM 1700 adapts to different materials and applications with 8 specific measurement scales:
| Material / Scale | Measurement range |
| Concrete | 0 – 6% H₂O |
| Cement screed | 0 – 6% H₂O |
| Cement screed (carbide method) | 0 – 4% CM |
| Anhydrite screed | 0 – 3.5% H₂O |
| Anhydrite screed (carbide method) | 0 – 1.9% CM |
| Caisson scale | 0.3 – 15.3 m |
| Relative scale | 0 – 100% |
| Gypsum | 0 – 10% |
Key features
- Non-invasive and accurate measurement.
- One-handed operation and easy handling.
- Max Hold function for measurements in difficult areas.
- Automatic shut-off for extended battery life.
- Backlit LCD display for on-site visibility.
Technical specifications
- Dimensions: 147 × 89 × 33 mm.
- Power supply: 2 × AA batteries.
- Battery life: up to 20 hours.
- Display: monochrome LCD (128 × 64 px).
- Operating temperature: 5°C – 40°C.
- Accuracy: ±0.5%
How to use the CM 1700 moisture meter correctly
- Place the CM 1700 moisture meter on the surface to be measured.
- Make sure the spring-loaded electrodes are in full contact with the material.
- Apply uniform pressure to obtain a stable reading.
- Repeat the measurement at several nearby points for greater accuracy.
- To switch off the device, press and hold the ON/HOLD button for 2 seconds.
Note: Moisture is not distributed uniformly as concrete dries, so measurements should be taken in multiple areas.
Usage recommendations
- Do not apply excessive pressure to avoid damaging the electrodes.
- Avoid touching the electrodes during measurement, as this may affect the results.
Typical applications
- Large concrete surfaces on construction sites.
- Screeds and floors prior to installing wooden flooring.
- Areas to be painted where moisture control is required.
- Detection of leaks or moisture accumulation.
