The Tramex CDTK Concrete Determinator Technicians Kit pairs the digital CMEX5 with the Determinator concrete moisture probe. Together they give non-destructive moisture content at the slab surface and in-situ moisture content within the body of the slab, in the Tramex Unified Moisture Content Test Method – the starting kit for a flooring contractor or inspector who does not already own a Tramex concrete meter.

How the Determinator works
The CMEX5 is pressed onto the Determinator cradle, which sits flat on the slab surface with the meter's pins fully compressed, and the probe is inserted into a pre-drilled 19 mm hole. A low frequency alternating electric field between the meter's electrodes and the probe penetrates the concrete to about 100 mm, and the meter converts the resulting current into a moisture value. The probe reads from the bottom, within the body of the slab, up to the surface – so you can tell whether moisture is coming from below or above.

Which Determinator kit do I need?
The three kits differ by what is in the case, not by how the probe works.
CDK Concrete Determinator Kit — the probe and case only. No meter. Choose this if you already own a Tramex CME instrument.
CDTK Technicians Kit — probe plus the CMEX5 meter. The working combination for a contractor starting from nothing.
CDIK Inspector Kit — everything in the Technicians Kit plus a Hygro-i2 relative humidity probe, calibration check plate, infrared thermometer, hole liners and extension handle. Specified where a full documented survey is required.
The Determinator works with the CME5 and CMEX5, and with the older CME4 and CMEX2. This kit includes the CMEX5.
How deep does it read?
The probe gives in-situ moisture content readings in the top 19 mm layer and within the body of the slab to an extendable depth of about 100 mm. A slab can be dry on top while still holding moisture below, and the probe is what shows it.
Do I need to drill the slab?
Yes. The probe goes into a pre-drilled 19 mm hole – the same hole made for an ASTM F2170 test – which is what allows the reading to be taken within the slab rather than at the surface.
Is this a replacement for a relative humidity test?
No. The Determinator gives quantitative moisture content in the Tramex Unified Moisture Content Test Method. In-situ relative humidity testing is a separate measurement, which is why the Inspector Kit includes a Hygro-i2 probe. Which one a specification calls for depends on the flooring manufacturer and the standard — ask us if you are unsure.
Is a phone included?
No. The Tramex Meters app is a free download for iOS and Android and runs on your own device.
