By means of measur- ing the electrical impedance, the moisture content of concrete can easily be determined by just pressing the instrument against the concrete surface. Te electrical impedance is measured through generating a low frequency electric feld between eight electrodes at the bottom of the instrument. Depending on the moisture content, the measure- ments are made to a depth of several centimeters. Four scales allow fexible use of the instrument as an accurate measuring device or just as a detector to fnd moisture traces or leakage. Te meter measures low intensity alternat- ing current fowing through electric feld, and on that basis, calculates moisture of tested material. Concrete Moisture Meter L19200 does not detect concrete moisture through electric- ity conducting materials like metal coverings/linings, PE-rubber, or any wet surfaces.
