damaging the wood. The FMW can also be used to indicate moisture levels in various
construction materials. The measurements can be stored in the memory.
Various symbols are used in these instructions:
This symbol indicates safety measures to be taken or instructions to be

Operating instructions FMW moisture meter
2Intended use
The meter should be placed in the measuring area several minutes before
starting a measuring session so that it can take on the ambient temperature
(acclimatise).
The meter may only be used for measuring the moisture content of non-
movable materials.
The purpose of the meter is to determine the moisture content of solid
materials.
The thickness of the material to be measured must be at least 10 mm for both
the FMW-T and the FMW-B.
