The Protimeter SurveyMaster Dual-Function Moisture Meter - BLD 5375 is an upgraded model of the BLD 5365, and a highly versatile dual-function moisture meter ideal for professionals in building maintenance, flood damage restoration, and inspections. It provides two operational modes—Search Mode and Measure Mode—allowing users to detect and evaluate moisture at different depths in building materials. The Search Mode uses non-invasive technology to assess moisture up to ¾ inch (19 mm) beneath surfaces like floors, walls, and coverings (e.g., tile, vinyl). This mode is particularly useful for identifying sub-surface moisture issues without damaging finishes.
The Measure Mode utilizes pin-type probes to provide highly accurate moisture readings for specific areas and materials, including wood, drywall, concrete, masonry, and more. This mode offers precision in detecting surface and incremental moisture levels, making it valuable for diagnosing damp conditions in structural components or wood floors. Additionally, the Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) feature ensures accurate moisture content measurement in various porous materials.
Protimeter SurveyMaster’s Reference Mode enables users to set a moisture baseline or dry standard for comparison, making it easier to distinguish between normal and elevated moisture levels. This feature is valuable when attempting to diagnose ongoing moisture issues or monitor changes over time. A color-coded LED scale (green for dry, yellow for at-risk, red for wet) provides visual moisture condition indicators, complementing the digital LCD backlit display for clear, real-time data presentation.
The SurveyMaster is equipped with modern features for convenience and efficiency, including Bluetooth connectivity for data management via the Protimeter Connect App. The app allows for job-specific data collection, including time and date stamps, material types, measurement locations, and even GPS tagging. Users can capture photos with embossed moisture readings and access data remotely via a web browser. Additional device features include an adjustable auto shut-off timer, backlight control, buzzer settings, and over-the-air firmware upgrades.
Built for durability and performance, the Protimeter SurveyMaster comes with a 2-year warranty and is designed to meet the demanding needs of building professionals, providing fast, accurate, and non-invasive moisture evaluation. The device is an essential tool for identifying moisture issues in areas like shower pans, behind ceramic tile, beneath floor coverings, around toilets, in drywall, and other building materials prone to dampness.
