This device allows users to quickly identify potential problem areas and determine suitable locations for installing Rapid RH® L6 Smart Sensors. Its design prioritizes ease of use and accuracy, providing reliable measurements crucial for ensuring successful flooring installations and other concrete treatments.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Fast, Non-Destructive Measurement: Utilizes radio frequency (RF) technology to measure moisture content in concrete without causing any surface damage.
- 0.5-inch Measurement Depth: Accurately measures moisture levels up to half an inch (0.5") into the concrete, providing valuable subsurface information.
- ASTM F2659 Compliance: Adheres to the standard practice for preliminary evaluation of moisture content of concrete floors using a non-destructive electronic moisture meter, ensuring reliable results.
- Digital Backlit Display: Features a clear, digital display with a backlight, enhancing visibility and readability in various lighting conditions.
- Integrated Ambient Sensors: Equipped with built-in sensors to measure ambient temperature and relative humidity, providing comprehensive environmental data.
- Relative Mode Functionality: Offers a relative mode that allows users to take comparative moisture readings in other concrete-similar materials, expanding its versatility.
- Audio Threshold Alarm: Includes an audible alarm that can be set to alert the user when a pre-defined moisture level is exceeded, improving efficiency and preventing potential issues.
- Scuff-Resistant Teflon Sensor Pad: Features a durable Teflon sensor pad that resists scuffs and ensures smooth, consistent contact with the concrete surface for accurate readings.
- On-Demand Calibrator Included: Comes with a paired On-Demand Calibrator, enabling quick and easy user calibration in the field, maintaining accuracy and reliability.

- Compliance: ASTM F2659
HOW TO USE:
- Preparation: Ensure the concrete surface is clean and free of debris.
- Power On: Insert the 9V battery into the meter and turn it on.
- Calibration (Recommended): Use the included On-Demand Calibrator to calibrate the meter before taking measurements, especially for critical applications. Follow the instructions in the manual for the calibration process.
- Placement: Firmly press the sensor pad of the C555 onto the concrete surface. Ensure full contact for accurate readings.
- Reading: Observe the digital display for the moisture reading. The meter will provide a percentage value representing the moisture content.
- Ambient Readings (Optional): The meter will also display ambient temperature and relative humidity. Note these readings if required for your analysis.
- Relative Mode (Optional): If measuring a concrete-similar material, select the relative mode as per the instruction manual and take the reading.
- Multiple Readings: Take multiple readings across the concrete slab, especially in areas where moisture is suspected or where you plan to place sensors.
- Audio Alarm (Optional): If the audio threshold alarm is set, the meter will sound when the moisture level exceeds the set value.
- Power Off: Turn off the meter after use to conserve battery life. The automatic shut-down feature will also activate after a period of inactivity.
