HI510 Concrete and Mortar Moisture Tester

Description

HI510 Non-Destructive Moisture Tester (Legacy Model)

The HI510 is a handheld high-frequency capacitance moisture tester for cured concrete, mortar, and ALC. Place the sensor against the surface, read the moisture content directly. Three factory calibrations plus two legacy CH-2 channels carrying forward from earlier Kett mortar testers. Manual and automatic temperature compensation, thickness compensation up to 40mm, hold function, and an upper-limit alarm round out the feature set.

Replaced by the HI5202

Kett continues to support the HI500 with parts, calibration service, and maintenance agreements, but the model has been replaced in the active product line by the HI5202. The HI5202 retains the non-destructive surface measurement workflow and adds capabilities the original HI500 did not offer:

• Six factory calibrations covering concrete, mortar, lightweight concrete, gypsum board, ALC, and calcium silicate board — three additional materials beyond the HI510.
• Backlit display with three brightness settings for low-light measurement.
• Push-button menu replaces the three rotary dials of the HI500.
• 1,000-reading onboard memory with date and time stamping on every reading — useful for compliance documentation and customer audits.
• Eight user calibration slots for materials outside the factory list. Pair with the optional HDL-01 data logger software to simplify calibration creation and export readings to a Windows PC.
• S mode for shallower-point measurement on thin boards, in addition to the standard D mode.
• Manual temperature override down to −10°C (vs. 0°C floor on the HI510).
