The Protimeter BLD9800 Moisture Measurement System MMS3 is a 4-in-1 moisture measurement system with wireless capability, used for full building diagnostics both on and below the surface, from new construction through to refurbishment of existing buildings. Undetected moisture in walls, floors and slabs leads to flooring and coating failure, mould growth and structural problems, so a single instrument that diagnoses, searches, measures humidity and checks surface temperature speeds up the survey and reduces the risk of missing a problem.
The Protimeter BLD9800 Moisture Measurement System MMS3 combines pin moisture measurement with a built-in calibration check, improved non-invasive (RF) measurement with a sensitivity mode and simple field calibration, hygrometry, and non-contact surface temperature measurement using an infrared laser pointer. Pin readings of the Protimeter BLD9800 Moisture Measurement System MMS3 cover 6% to 100% WME (readings over 30% are relative). Non-invasive readings run 60 to 999 relative, up to 19 mm deep in standard mode and up to 12 cm deep in sensitivity mode, varying with material. The IR probe has a 12:1 (D:S) ratio and a range of -20 to 80 degrees C, and Hygrostick and Quickstick probes provide relative humidity measurement, including equilibrium RH in concrete floors.
Manual and automatic data logging stores up to 10,000 timestamped records, with live data streamed over Bluetooth into a file or embedded in an image in the Protimeter app, plus cloud storage and a web interface. Reporting also runs through Protimeter PC software. The Protimeter BLD9800 Moisture Measurement System MMS3 weighs 309 g with batteries, has a 2.4 inch colour TFT LCD and conforms to CE, RoHS, ETL and UKCA. The Protimeter BLD9800 Moisture Measurement System MMS3 is used in fire and flood restoration, concrete floor moisture measurement and home inspection. Supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised Protimeter distributor.

When to use the Protimeter MMS3
You are surveying a building end to end and want pin moisture, non-invasive moisture, surface temperature and humidity from one instrument. The MMS3 is a 4-in-1 system with wireless data logging for both new build and refurbishment work.
- 1Four functions in one toolPin, non-invasive, infrared surface temperature and hygrometry in a single device removes the need to plug in and swap multiple accessories during a survey.
- 2On and below the surfaceNon-invasive reading reaches up to 19mm in standard mode and up to 12cm in sensitivity mode, so you can find both surface and deeper moisture without changing instrument.
- 3Wireless logging and reportingUp to 10,000 stamped records with Bluetooth live data, cloud storage and PC software gives you a full audit trail and report from a building diagnostic.
- 4Built-in calibration checkPin measurement with a built-in calibration check and simple field calibration lets you confirm the instrument is reading true before you trust a survey result.
