PROTIMETER

Digital Mini
Digital Pin Type
Moisture Meter
The Protimeter Digital Mini 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 nishes.
Professionals involved with the identication,
management and remedy of moisture need
tools that help them to:
• Identify the extent of the moisture penetration
Reliable Moisture
Measurement
• Diagnose the cause of the problem
• Monitor change in the moisture level
Protimeter moisture meters and hygrometers
satisfy these requirements comprehensively.
The Digital Mini is the preferred industry choice
for surveying and investigating moisture in
buildings.

This reliable moisture meter has a pin type
measurement function and shows results on
the large digital display as well as the easy to
interpret color LED display. The instrument has
an auxiliary port for optional moisture probes.

Measure Mode Pin-Type
Pin mode is used to measure the moisture level at the
surface. Sub-surface measurements can be obtained
by using the Digital Mini with optional probes, such as
the Hammer Electrode for wood, Deep Wall Probes for
solid walls and the EIFS probe for exterior insulation and
nishing systems. Measure mode readings are precise
and specic to the contact area of the electrodes that are
used.
The Digital Mini is calibrated for wood, so displays the
actual percent moisture content when used on wood.
When used to measure the moisture level of materials
other than wood, such as plaster or masonry, the
instrument displays the Wood Moisture Equivalent
(WME) value of the material. The colour coded LEDs
are synchronised with the digital display to provide
information on the moisture condition of the material at
the point of measurement.
Optional Moisture Probes
• Hammer Electrodes are used to obtain sub-surface
measurements in wood. The heavy duty version is
designed for frequent use in both hard and soft
woods whereas the light duty version is designed for
occasional use in soft woods.
• Deep Wall Probes are used to obtain measurements
at depth in solid and composite walls. Clearance holes
need to be drilled in the material to the required depth
into which the Deep Wall Probes are inserted. The
moisture gradient of the material can be identied by
increasing the depths of the holes incrementally and
then taking readings.
• EIFS Probes are ideal for measuring the moisture level
within and through Exterior Insulation and Finishing
Systems types of wall cladding.

Reference Mode
(Patent Pending)
Protimeter’s patent pending Reference Mode
is particularly useful when there is a need to
compare measurements taken at numerous
points in a building to a selected reference or
baseline value.
The reference is determined by taking a measurement
whilst pressing and holding the ► button for two
seconds. The instrument now has two display lines,
enabling the user to compare subsequent measurements
to the reference that is now stored within the instrument.
As shown in the example screen below, assume a
reference measurement of 10.0 %WME was measured
and stored in the Digital Mini. A subsequent measurement
of 18.8 %WME is taken and displayed on the top line and
the difference to the reference, + 8.8 %WME, is displayed
on the bottom line.
