Page 19: Operation Principle
Wet Roof Pro’ Operation Principle Wet roof leak detection relies on the roof’s surface moisture forming an electrically conductive path to earth via the building substrate. The Wet Roof Pro’ utilises the conductive properties of water to allow the operator to locate the source or origin of a leak. This method is also known as voltage gradient mapping or vector mapping. - Page 20 Instruction Manual The stainless steel trace wire is used to form a conductive perimeter around the area of roof to be tested and is connected to the negative output of the Wet Roof Pro’ generator unit. The positive output of the Wet Roof Pro’ generator is connected to a suitable earthed point of the building substrate.

Page 21: Using The Wet Roof Pro
Wet Roof Pro’ Using the Wet Roof Pro’ Preparation Before conducting a survey, the roof must be wet and the trace wire needs to have been laid down to form a perimeter bordering the area to be tested. Use the 10m lead (clip to black plug) to connect the ends of the trace wire to form a closed loop. - Page 22 Instruction Manual Prior to using the Wet Roof Pro’ for the first time the batteries will need to be installed, once inserted the batteries can remain in the units until charging is required. To fit the generator unit batteries (4 x ‘D’ cell) remove the twist-grip cap from each battery tube located on the rear of the unit and slide two batteries into each battery tube (positive to cap) as shown in fig.
