Protimeter BLD5702 Digital Mini Pin Type Moisture Meter

Made for use by contractors, building surveyors, home builders and architects, Protimeter's Digital Mini moisture meter calculates and displays the moisture level in both wood and building materials.

Capable of delivering consistent, reliable moisture measurements, the Digital Mini moisture meter can be used identify the level of moisture penetration in the material, to diagnose the cause of the problem and to monitor changes in moisture levels over a period of time.

Protimeter Digital MiniPrecision Pin-Type Moisture Meter

The Protimeter Digital Mini has built-in pin electrodes at the top; these are designed to measure the moisture level at the surface of a material.

This moisture meter can be used with both wood and building materials such as plaster and masonry; it is calibrated as standard for wood and displays actual percent moisture content for these materials. When testing building materials, the Protimeter Digital Mini automatically calculates the Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) and delivers an accurate measurement of moisture content.

Protimeter's Digital Mini is also designed to be used alongside optional moisture probes which expand its capabilities further. These are (all probes sold separately):

  • Hammer Probe - used on wood to gain sub-surface measurements. Available in both light duty (made for soft woods and occasional use) or heavy duty (made for hard woods) forms
  • Deep Wall Probes - used to obtain measurements at depth in solid and composite walls
  • EIFS Probes - used to measure moisture levels within and through exterior insulation and finishing systems types of wall cladding

If you'd like to order any additional probes, please see further below for more information on part numbers.

Colour-Coded Moisture Readings

As the name suggests, the Protimeter Digital Mini uses a digital display to show moisture content as a digital percentage.

In addition to this, the Digital Mini moisture meter also uses a built-in 60 LED colour scale to show the level of moisture present within the material. This mode activates at the same time as the digital display for quick, easy interpretation of the level of moisture in a material.

The scale will show green LEDs when the material is considered to be dry, yellow/orange lights when a material is considered to be borderline, or red LEDs when the material is considered to be damp.

Protimeter Digital Mini Reference ModeUnique Reference Mode

Need to compare measurements taken at different points? With Protimeter's Reference mode, doing so is easy!

When activated, reference mode activates a two-line display on the Protimeter Digital Mini moisture meter. After storing a reference measurement, subseqent measurements will then be compared against that reference.

For example, in the image shown, a reference measurement of 10% WME was stored in the Digital Mini; a measurement of 18.8% WME was then taken and displayed on the top line. The Mini then calculates that the difference to the reference is +8.8% WME and displays this value on the bottom line.

Protimeter Digital Mini Moisture Meter Key Features
