Tramex Survey Encounter (SE1)

Moisture Meter

Tramex SE1

Full Specifications

The world’s most advanced meter for measuring moisture in wood, dry-wall, plaster, brick, roofing, siding and other construction materials. Manufactured by Tramex, who have been producing first class moisture meters since 1980. The Survey Encounter incorporates the latest PIC microcontroller to make your job as inspector, surveyor, engineer or architect much more efficient.

How it Works

The Survey Encounter operates on the principle of electrical impedance measurement to give accurate nondestructive moisture readings in wood, wall and roof materials.

The Survey Encounter is fitted with a powerful microcontroller, a real time clock, a temperature sensor and high capacity nonvolatile memory chip which retains its data. By using the conductive rubber electrodes mounted on the base of the instrument a low frequency signal is transmitted into the material being tested to measure the electrical impedance.

  Signals are transmitted into the material being tested.

The Survey Encounter processes this information together with the temperature, specific gravity (SG) contained in the instruments library and accurately calculates the moisture content.

The Survey Encounter Gives You:

  • Non-destructive readings
  • Stores up to 625 readings in 25 files
  • Accurate moisture readings from 5 to 30% in wood
  • Relative readings in walls, roofing and many other construction materials.
  • Automatic correction for density and temperature
