Operation

1. Remove the protective cap to expose the electrode pins.

2. The meter automatically switches ON when the cap is removed.

3. The meter automatically shuts OFF when the cap is replaced.

4. To conserve battery life, the meter automatically shuts off after 15 minutes when

the cap is left off. To revive the meter after an Auto Power OFF, simply press the

yellow cut-off switch momentarily.

5. Slide material selection switch to read wood moisture or building moisure.

6. Carefully push the electrode pins as far as possible into the material under test.

Note that the pins should be inserted into wood perpendicular to the wood’s fiber

structure.

7. Take several readings in several locations on the material for the best

representation of the amount of moisture present.

8. Read the measurement values on the display.

9. Replace the protective cap when finished.

Reading the Display

1. The LCD display has two scales

2. The wood scale indicates wood moisture from

6 to 44%.

3. The building materials scale (plaster, brick,

concrete, mortar, etc.) indicates moisture

content from 0.2 to 2.0%.

4. A continuous line indicates an even number.

A dotted line indicates on odd number.

5. The battery icon appears when the batteries

are weak and require replacement.

Auto Power OFF

With the protective cap removed, the meter will

turn off after 15 minutes to conserve battery life.

Press the yellow cutoff switch momentarily to

restart the meter. Always secure the protective cap

when the instrument is not in use.

Instrument Measurement Verification check

1. With the meter wood moisture position, touch the electrode test pins to the two test

points 1 and 2 at the top of the protective cap labeled ‘T’.

2. With the unit on and the electrode pins touching the ‘T’ test points, the meter should

read 27% ±2%. If not, the meter may require repair.

Battery Check

1. With the meter wood moisture position, touch the electrode

test pins to the two test points 3 and 4 at the top of the

protective cap labeled ‘B’ (see diagram).

2. With the unit on and the electrode pins touching the ‘B’ test points, the meter should

read > 44% on the wood moisture scale. If not, replace the batteries.

CAUTION: The electrode measurement pins are extremely sharp. Use

care when handling this instrument. Cover the pins with the protective cap

when the instrument is not in use.
