The Tramex FZK Flooring Inspector EZ Kit is a compact kit for flooring inspectors and installers who test concrete slabs and timber floors. It pairs the digital CMEX5 with a Hygro-i2 RH probe and a pin-type wood probe, so concrete moisture, in-situ RH and timber moisture content all come from one meter.
Kit contents
Per the Tramex FZK kit data sheet (September 2021):
- Concrete Moisture Encounter X5 – CMEX5
- 1 x Hygro-i2 relative humidity probe
- Heavy-duty pin-type wood probe
- Hole liners
- Tramex easy-travel case
- Tramex Meters app for Android and iOS (phone not included)
What the kit does
The CMEX5 gives non-destructive quantitative moisture readings in concrete, using gravimetric testing as the baseline, and comparative readings to ASTM F2659. Its built-in hygrometer measures ambient RH, temperature and dew point. Plug-in reusable Hygro-i2 probes let you perform ASTM F2170 relative humidity testing in concrete slabs, and the heavy-duty pin probe measures the moisture content of timber.
Over Bluetooth, the Tramex Meters app geotags results, creates and shares reports, photos and charts, and mirrors the meter screen on your phone when the meter is out of sight.

Earlier versions of this page listed Concrete Determinator probe and IRT2 infrared thermometer specifications and a larger case. Neither instrument is in the FZK, and the case size and weight above are from the Tramex FZK data sheet.
Flooring kits compared
| Kit | Contents |
| FZK – Inspector EZ Kit | CMEX5, 1 Hygro-i2 RH probe, pin-type wood probe, hole liners, easy-travel case |
| FIK – Inspector Kit | As FZK, plus IRT2 infrared thermometer and extension handle, in a heavy-duty case |
| FTK – Installer Tech 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 infrared thermometer for dew point work and the handle for surveying standing up. The FTK is built differently – the analogue CME5 with a datalogger, aimed at installers monitoring a slab and ambient conditions over a job.
Before you order – a full ASTM F2170 test needs more than one probe
The kit includes one Hygro-i2 probe and hole liners. ASTM F2170 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 a complete test. Tramex's data sheet also does not list the RHIE2B interface cable that connects a Hygro-i2 probe to the CMEX5; ask us to confirm before you order if you need it.

Frequently asked questions
FZK or FIK?
Both have the CMEX5, a Hygro-i2 probe, the pin-type wood probe and hole liners. The FIK adds the IRT2 infrared thermometer and the extension handle. If you do not need surface temperature readings or a handle, the FZK is the lighter, lower-cost kit.
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 also sold individually. The kit is generally better value and removes the risk of ordering an accessory with the wrong connector.
