Protimeter ReachMaster Pro Non-Invasive Moisture Meter
The ReachMaster Pro is a non-invasive moisture meter on a telescopic handle. The sensor head sits on a pole that extends to 114 cm and communicates wirelessly with a handheld display, so ceilings, high walls, roof spaces and under-floor areas can be scanned from the ground without a ladder.
Why the reach matters
Most ceiling moisture is found by someone standing on something. The ReachMaster Pro removes that step, which is a working-at-height reduction as much as a productivity gain. It also scans deeper than a standard non-invasive meter — up to 12 cm below the surface.
How to read it
Like all non-invasive meters, the ReachMaster Pro gives a relative reading rather than a moisture content percentage. Take a reference reading on known-dry material of the same construction, then compare. Metal behind the surface — mesh, foil-backed insulation, ducting, wiring — reads high on dry material, so confirm anything unexpected with a pin meter.

- Fibreglass marine hull inspection
Maintenance — the abrasion plate
The sensor head is dragged across surfaces, so the face wears. Protimeter supplies a replaceable abrasion plate kit (BLD5777-A) for exactly this reason. Replacing a worn plate is a five-minute job; scanning on a worn-through head is not something the instrument recovers from. Keep a spare with the meter.
Frequently asked questions
Does it give a moisture content percentage?
No. It is non-invasive and gives a relative reading for locating and comparing. For a moisture content figure you need a pin meter such as the SurveyMaster or the MMS3.
How is it different from the Aquant?
The Aquant is a handheld non-invasive meter reading to about 19 mm. The ReachMaster Pro reads to about 12 cm and puts the sensor on a 114 cm telescopic handle with a wireless display. Different jobs.
Does the sensor head need to touch the surface?
Yes, it is a contact-scan instrument — that is why the abrasion plate is a wearing part.
How many batteries does it take?
Six AA in total: two in the sensor head and four in the display module. Carry spares of both.
Calibration
For a documented conformance certificate, twelve months is a sensible starting interval, adjusted to your own work environment and quality procedures. Certification is available in Australia.
