1 Safety Considerations
Calibration of unit - The
accuracy specifications of the
product are valid for one year after
the date of calibration, and the
product requires recalibration after
this period.
Only operate the measuring
instrument properly, for its
intended purpose and within the
parameters specified in the technical
data. Readings from moisture meters
are not definitive but are used to help
a professional make informed
judgment to the material’s moisture
condition. Conductive material such
as salts, carbon and metal can give
false positive readings.
2 Search Mode (REL)
The Aquant non-invasive mode gives
readings, in relative terms, of the
moisture condition up to 19mm / 3/4”
beneath the surface of materials. This
mode of operation is ideal for making
rapid surveys of solid walls and
floors and to pinpoint areas of
concern that may justify a more
extensive investigation.

2 Search Mode (REL) (cont.)
The Search mode may also be used as
an alternative to the Measure mode
when it is impractical or undesirable
to push electrode pins into surfaces.
Consider, for example, taking
moisture readings behind ceramic
tiles in shower cubicles or in walls
covered by quality wallpapers where
pinholes would not be acceptable.
Surface moisture (such as
condensation on an otherwise dry
wall) has little effect on Search mode
readings. Conductors (other than
water) within the material may cause
high Search mode readings. Make
sure the flat surface on the back of the
meter is in full contact with the
material to be tested.
It is recommended that users place
the meter onto different areas to
measure and do not slide the meter
across surfaces.
Note: Sliding the meter can cause
premature wear to the back of
the meter.

3 Reference Mode
Measure the material until the meter’s
reading is stable, then press for
2 seconds. This will store the reading
until the mode changes of the meter
turns off. Now all reading taken after
will be displayed as normal, but
below you will see a second reading
that shows you if the material is
measured above or below the original
reading. Reference mode can be
useful when trying to establish what
materials are above or below a point
of reference or dry standard. See
page 6 for further information.

Measurements:
The numeric measurement and color
LED will be shown as well as the
“DRY” (green) or “AT RISK”
(yellow) or “WET” (red), based on
the measurement shown.
70-169 DRY (Green)
170-199 AT RISK (Yellow)
200-999 WET (Red)
Reference Mode of Measurement:
Take the first measurement which
needs to be taken as reference. While
the first reading is displayed on the
screen, press and hold the button
for 2 seconds to enter the Reference
Mode. The display will be similar to
the one shown below.
To return to the normal measurement
mode, press again.

Settings:
Press and hold the button and
switch on the unit by pressing .
Hold both the buttons until the
Aquant displays the version.
Release both buttons while it shows
the version number. The unit enters
Settings Mode.

DRY, AT RISK and WET Settings:
The first screen to appear in Settings
is the DRY, AT RISK and WET
setting screen.
This screen sets whether the
indication on the display needs to be
switched ON or OFF. When it is ON,
the moisture condition will be
displayed on the screen. When it is
OFF, no indication is displayed on
screen.

DRY, AT RISK and WET Settings
(cont.):
Use the button to turn ON/OFF
the settings.
If the unit detects no key press for 2
seconds in the Setting screen, it
moves to the next setting.
Pressing the button, after you
have entered the desired setting, will
save the setting and move the screen
to the next setting.
