Measuring moisture content and RH in concrete and wood
With BLUETOOTH and accompanying APP
A compact kit for instant and precise moisture testing of concrete and wood flooring.
The Tramex CMEX5 digital moisture meter allows for non-destructive quantitative testing of concrete using Gravimetric testing as a baseline and comparative testing per ASTM F2659. The CMEX5 built-in hygrometer measures ambient RH, temperature and dew point conditions.
Plug-in reusable Hygro-i2 RH probes allow for performing ASTM F2170, BS8201, BS8203 and BS5325 for relative humidity readings in concrete slabs. The Tramex heavy-duty wood pin-probe measures the moisture content of wood.
The Flooring Inspector EZ Kit comes 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.
Before you order – in-situ RH testing needs more than the probe
The Tramex data sheet lists one Hygro-i2 relative humidity probe in this kit. A Hygro-i2 probe cannot connect to a meter without the RHIE2B interface cable, and an ASTM F2170 test also needs 19 mm hole liners for each test hole. Neither is listed in the kit contents.
ASTM F2170 also requires three test locations for the first 100 m² and one for each additional 100 m², so one probe is a starting point rather than a full test set. The AP-F2170-B accessory pack covers all of it. Contact us before ordering if you are unsure what you already have.

Frequently asked questions
FZK or FIK?
The FZK is the concrete-focused pairing. The FIK adds a heavy-duty pin-type wood probe for timber moisture content. Same meter, same RH probe – the pin probe is the difference.
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.
Contact Carpet Cleaners Warehouse if you want help choosing between these kits for the work you take on.
