Choose Between 2 Flooring Kits
The Protimeter MMS2 and HygroMaster 2 Flooring Kits allow ooring inspectors to take moisture
measurements in concrete oor slabs using the relative humidity in-situ probe method. The in-situ humidity
test is being adopted worldwide and is considered the most accurate way for contractors and inspectors
to ensure that moisture levels in concrete slabs meet the recommended requirements prior to installing a
oor covering.
Moisture levels in oor slabs are critical to understand, as excessive moisture can lead to catastrophic and
expensive oor failures. Global standards are in place, such as ASTM F2170.
Measurements Include:
• In-situ relative humidity and temperature -
Required for ASTM F2170 standard
• Relative humidity and temperature in the
ambient conditions - Required for ASTM F2170
standard
• Surface temperature - Required for ASTM
F2170 standard
• Data logging
• Non-invasive instant moisture evaluation used
prior to in-situ RH moisture test (MMS2 only)
• Pin type moisture measurement, evaluating
wood oor materials (MMS2 only)

MMS2 | All-in-One Hygrometer and Moisture Meter
Hygromaster 2 | Simple to Use Thermo-Hygrometer
The Protimeter MMS2 and HygroMaster 2 are the industry’s most advanced all-in-one moisture meters.
With its ergonomic, 4-in-1 design, the MMS2 allows for one-handed operation to measure moisture on and below
the surface, as well as in ambient air and humidity and in concrete oor slabs. The MMS2 also incorporates instant
moisture measurement using pin and non-invasive techniques to provide accurate readings in wooden oors and
reference reading in concrete oor slabs.
The Hygromaster 2 is the latest in handheld hygrometry technology. It features outstanding performance with a
simple and easy to use interface with multiple Psychometric calculations and a non-contact surface IR temperature
probe.
Both meters feature a non-contact infrared (IR) thermometer to measure surface temperature and calculate dewpoint.
Features
• Pin moisture measurement (MMS2 only)
• Non-invasive moisture measurement (MMS2 only)
• Ambient relative humidity and temperature measurement
• Equilibrium humidity measurement in concrete oors
• Psychrometric calculations
• Laser pointer surface non-contact temperature
measurement
• Data logging
• Firmware upgradable
Benets
• Easy-to-use with simple user interface
• One instrument with all oor moisture testing
capabilities
• Durable construction with a 2 year warranty
• Free technical support

Simple Steps to Condent Moisture Assurance
• Rapidly evaluate the oor moisture level
using the MMS2, or another non-invasive
moisture meter
• Select your in-situ humidity test points
• Drill holes to 40% of the depth of the
concrete
• Clean out the drilled holes and insert the
adjustable sleeve at the correct depth for
the slab
• Insert the Protimeter mini Hygrostick using
the insertion tool
• Cap the sleeve and wait for moisture
equilibrium. See local standards for
recommended soak time
• Measure and record the relative humidity
and temperature
• Remove the mini Hygrostick for reuse
