Page 11: Detecting Hygroscopic Salts
Electrode. Detecting Hygroscopic Salts 4.1b The Protimeter MMS3 instrument can be used as a basic salts detector when used with the moisture probe, filter papers and distilled water (not included). Moisten the filter paper with the water and take a reference reading across it with the moisture probe. - Page 12 MMS3 Instruction Manual When holding the meter at the bottom, away from any Note: objects, it should not show any reading. As reliable readings are obtained only if the sensor bulge is in direct contact with the surface, the Search mode is not suitable for surveying textured finishes.
