Digital concrete moisture encounter

How does it work?

This non-destructive digital concrete moisture meter uses 8 electrodes to generate a low-frequency electric field. This system allows moisture measurement several centimeters below the surface, without drilling or damaging the concrete structure.

⚠️ Not suitable for measuring through conductive materials such as metal, rubber, or wet surfaces.

Where can you use it?

The CM 1700 is perfect for:

• Large concrete surfaces.
• Cement screeds and subfloors before installing wooden flooring.
• Areas to be painted that require controlled moisture levels.

It's also useful for detecting leaks or moisture build-up, thanks to its quick scanning mode.

Measurement Scales

With 8 different scales, the CM 1700 adapts to a wide range of materials and needs:

• 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.
• Easy one-hand operation.
• Max Hold function for hard-to-reach areas.
• Auto power-off for extended battery life.

Technical Specifications

• Dimensions: 147 × 89 × 33 mm
• Power supply: 2 × AA batteries
• Battery life: up to 20 hours
• Display: monochrome LCD (128×64 px) with backlight
• Operating temperature: 5°C to 40°C
• Accuracy: ±0.5%

How to Use It

1. Place the CM 1700 on the surface.
2. Ensure the spring-loaded electrodes are fully in contact.
3. Apply even pressure to obtain a stable reading.
4. Take multiple readings in nearby spots for more accurate results.

*As concrete dries, moisture levels may vary across the surface. Multiple measurements are recommended.

To turn off the device, press and hold the ON/HOLD button for 2 seconds.

Usage Recommendations

• Do not press too hard to avoid damaging the electrodes.
• Avoid touching the electrodes during measurement to prevent inaccurate readings.
