PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THE MOISTURE METER.
This instrument can be used to measure the amount of water in
the wood, building material, and measure the environment
temperature.
FEATURES:
·Display: LCD display with green color backlight.
·Measurement range: Wood: 6 to 60%
Building material: 1.5 to 33%
Temperature: 0 to 50°C ( 32 to 122°F )
·Resolution: Wood and Building material: 0.1%
Temperature: 0 .1°C ( 0.1°F)
·Accuracy: Wood and Building material: ± 2%
Temperature: ± 2°C ( ± 4°F )
·8 calibration scales(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H), based on different
types of wood materials.
·Hold function to freeze the measurement.
·Low battery indication(< 2.2V).
·Automatic Power-Off in 3 minutes without operation.
·Operated Power: 2xLR03 AAA 1.5V batteries.
·Working current: <35mA@3.0V
·Operating Environment: Temperature: 0 - 40°C
Relative Humidity < 85%RH
INSTALLING BATTERY:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries with the correct polarity.
3. Reattach the battery compartment cover.
REMOVING PROTECTIVE CAP:
To remove the protective cap, press the “ ” position and
push the cap as the illustration below to open the cap.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION:
1.Press the “ ” button to turn on the instrument, press and
hold the “ ” button for about 3 seconds to turn off the
instrument.
2.Selecting desired Measurement Mode:
a. After turn on the instrument, press the “ ” button to
select desired measurement mode.
The two measurement modes are as follows:
Wood moisture measurement mode (“WOOD” displays),
building material moisture measurement mode (“BLDG”
displays).
Wood moisture measurement mode has 8 calibration scales(A,
B, C, D, E, F, G, H), based on different types of wood materials.
Check the Calibration Tables first, and then press the “ ”
button to switch to the matched calibration scale.
b. After the desired measurement mode is selected, you can
start measurement.
c.Temperature measurement mode displays in Celsius
temperature
measurement mode ( “°C” displays) or Fahrenheit temperature
measurement mode ( “°F” displays).
Press “ ” button to switch between °C and °F.
3.Performing Measurement
a. For temperature measurement, the display shows the present
environment temperature directly.
b. Before taking the first measurement check that the instrument
is functioning correctly.
For this you will need to use the Test Aid.
On the Test Aid there are two measurement holes as picture.
Switch to Wood moisture measurement mode (“WOOD”
displays) and choose A scale.
Insert the measuring pins into the measurement holes, the
measuring value on the display will show between 16.6% to
20.6%.
The instrument is workable when measured value was in the
error range.
c.To perform moisture measurement, press both pins into the
wood or material to be measured, read the value on the display.
d. Measured value will appear on the LCD, and Red, Yellow,
Green LED color light indicate the moisture condition level at
the same time.
Wood: Green: Low moisture (< 12%);
Yellow: Mid moisture (12% - 15.9%);
Red: High moisture (16%-60%).
Building material: Green: Low moisture (< 17%);
Yellow: Mid moisture (17% - 19.9%);
Red: High moisture (20%-33%)
4. Freeze the measurement
Press the “ ” button to saved measured value, the “HOLD”
will show on the screen. By pressing the “ ” or “ ” or
“” button, the measuring mode will get reactivated.
5. Automatic Power-Off feature
If you don’t operate the instrument (or the reading does not
change) about 3 minutes, the instrument will be turned off
automatically.
6.When the symbol “ ” appears, it indicates the batteries
are low and should be replaced.
MAINTENANCE:
The moisture meter has been designed to be a low maintenance
instrument.
However, in order to maintain its performance, you must always
follow these simple directions:
• AVOID exposing the instrument to shock, continuous vibration,
or extreme hot or cold temperatures.
• ALWAYS attach the protective cap when not in use.
• ALWAYS keep the instrument free of dust and liquids.
• Check the battery regularly to avoid deterioration.
• ALWAYS remove the battery when storing the instrument.
• DO NOT attempt to change any part of the unit.
• DO NOT disassemble the instrument. This will void the
warranty.
• Store the instrument in a dry location.
• After measurement, clean the probes and the case using a
clean cloth.
