Flooring Installer Technicians Kit - FTK
Compact Moisture Meter Kit For Measuring Moisture Content And Dew-point Of Concrete Floors And Slabs For Flooring Installation
Kit contents
- Concrete Moisture Encounter – CME5
- Feedback Datalogger – DL-RHTX
- Contact temperature probe
- Extension handle
- Tramex Meters app for Android and iOS (phone not included)
WITH ACCOMPANYING BLUETOOTH APP
The Tramex FTK is a compact kit for instant, non-destructive, quantitative moisture content testing of concrete floors and ambient conditions and is the ideal non-destructive test kit for monitoring the most crucial information at the time of installation.
The Tramex CME5 moisture meter allows for non-destructive quantitative testing of concrete moisture content using Gravimetric testing as a baseline and comparative testing per ASTM F2659.
The Tramex Ambient Feedback Datalogger is used for testing, monitoring and time logging relative humidity, temperature and dew point in the environment.
The Tramex Contact Temperature Probe provides temperature readings of the floor surface.
The Tramex Flooring Installer Tech Kit comes with an extension handle in a Tramex Easy-travel case.
Bluetooth connectivity to the Tramex Meters App allows for visualization of readings and data reporting to mobile devices, to GeoTag test results, create, save and share photos, reports and charts, as well as see your meter screen on your phone when extending to hard to reach places.

Flooring kits compared
| Kit | Contents |
| FZK – Inspection EZ Kit | CMEX5 + 1 Hygro-i2 RH probe |
| FIK – Inspection Kit | CMEX5 + 1 Hygro-i2 RH probe + heavy-duty pin-type wood probe |
| FTK – Installer Technicians Kit | CME5 + DL-RHTX datalogger + contact temperature probe + extension handle |
The FZK and FIK are built around the digital CMEX5 for inspectors; the FIK adds the pin probe for timber. The FTK is built differently – the analogue CME5 with a datalogger, aimed at installers monitoring a slab and ambient conditions over a job rather than producing one-off inspection readings.

Frequently asked questions
Why the analogue CME5 rather than the digital CMEX5?
The FTK is built for installers monitoring conditions over a job rather than producing inspection reports. The CME5 surveys the slab; the DL-RHTX does the logging and the reporting. If you need one instrument that both surveys and produces ASTM F2170 RH results, the FIK or a CMEX5 is the better fit.
What is the contact temperature probe for?
Surface temperature. Combined with the ambient RH the logger records, it gives dew point at the slab surface – which is what tells you whether an adhesive or coating can be applied that day.
Does it include Hygro-i2 RH probes?
No. The DL-RHTX accepts them but they are not in the kit. Add the AP-F2170-B pack or individual probes, cable and liners for in-situ testing.
Is a phone included?
No. The Tramex Meters app is a free download for iOS and Android and runs on your own device.
Can I buy the components separately?
Yes – every instrument in the kit is stocked individually. The kit is generally better value and removes the risk of ordering an accessory with the wrong connector.
