Default Moisture meters and radiant concrete slab

I put this on flooring but thought plumbers usually install these systems - so any ideas guys?

Can anyone tell me what they know about moisture meters? I tested a concrete radiant floor we have with plastic taped down for a full 48 hours and there is not a speck of moisture. Yet the moisture meter reads full moisture. I do not want to install ANY floor until I can figure out what is going on. There was vinyl flooring down and replacing it. No moisture underneath - it is ripped up now. The concrete is not brand new.

What do you all think? Is the moisture meter reading the water in the system and wire mesh? Or is there really invisible moisture underneath.?

I wanted to add this is supposed to be a flooring moisture reader that installers can use. Only had it here for a short time.

thanks
