Tramex RHP-SWB – RH Short Probe (Bayonet)
RHP-SWB has a bayonet connection and is for use with the CMEX5, MEX5 and DL-RHTX. It will not connect to a CMEX2 or MRH3.
The Tramex RH short probe allows the user to evaluate moisture conditions within the building structure and ambient conditions within the building envelope. It suits flood and water damage restoration and building survey work where a robust general-purpose probe is wanted rather than a narrow wand.
The probe measures relative humidity, temperature, dew point temperature and grains per pound (grams per kilogram) humidity ratio. The Tramex relative humidity probes house Hygro-i2® technology and are reusable, with calibration checks carried out using calibration check salts.
Features
- 10 mm diameter short probe – for general in-situ and ambient measurement
- Fast acclimation and temperature response time
- Proven robustness – durable and reusable
- Best in class accuracy, reliable even above 90% RH
- Measures in-situ and ambient RH, temperature, dew point and grains per pound
Important – check your meter's connector before ordering
Tramex uses two accessory connectors and the part numbers differ by a single trailing B. They are not interchangeable.
| DIN connection | CMEX2, MRH3 |
| Bayonet connection | CMEX5, MEX5, DL-RHTX |
This is the bayonet version. If your meter is a CMEX2 or MRH3, order the RHP-SW instead.

Frequently asked questions
Which probe length do I need?
The 260 mm narrow probe reaches into deep cavities and wall structures. The 110 mm short narrow probe suits shallower work and tighter access. The short probe has a 10 mm diameter body for general in-situ and ambient use. All three read the same values – the difference is reach and the size of hole they need.
Can this probe be used for ASTM F2170 in-situ testing?
These wand probes are used for in-situ and ambient RH measurement in structures and cavities. For ASTM F2170 and AS 1884-2012 concrete slab testing with sleeved holes, the Hygro-i2 insertion probe is the correct product, left in the sleeve to equilibrate.
How do I check the probe is still accurate?
Use the 75% calibration check salt. Seal the probe in the salt chamber, let it stabilise, and confirm it reads 75% RH. Worth doing before any job where the reading goes into a report.
Will it work with an older Tramex meter?
Only if the connector matches. This bayonet version fits the CMEX5, MEX5 and DL-RHTX. Contact us with your meter model if you are unsure – it is a quick check and avoids returning the wrong probe.
