GE Protimeter Aquant Sensing User Instructions Introduction The GE Protimeter Aquant BLD5760 moisture detector is used to assess and monitor the relative moisture level of non conductive and porous materials such as plaster masonry concrete and fiberglass GRP It is an ideal instrument for making rapid surveys of solid walls and floors and to pinpoint areas of concern in tiled shower cubicles GRP boat hulls motor homes and caravans etc The Aquant BLD5760 has a digital display that is synchronized with a color coded LED scale The digital display shows the relative moisture level of the material under investigation on a scale of 0 1000 and the LED scale indicates moisture condition of the material The color coded zones signify the moisture condition of the material under investigation The green yellow and red color coded zones indicate the following e Material in the green zone is in a safe air dry condition In the yellow zone moisture levels are higher than normal but not critical further investigation is recommended The red zone represents excessive moisture levels If sustained red zone moisture levels will lead to decay in organic materials 1 Operation The Aquant BLD5760 moisture detector has a radio frequency transceiver located in the bulge on it s underside to give relative readings within the material against which it is held up to a nominal depth of 3 4 in 19 mm The depth of measurement is su
