4. MEASURING PROCEDURE
4-1 Measurement by selecting the different
material
1)Turn on the meter by pressing the " Power Button "
( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) momentarily.
* Press the " Power Button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 )
momentarily again will turn off the meter.
2)Remove the " Protection cover " ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ) away
from the top head of the meter.
3)Press the" Material button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) to select the
desired testing material.
Material 1 :
* 0 to 100% relative moisture value for
Concrete. and other non-wood material.
* The right bottom display show " 1 "
Material 2 :
* 6 % to 40 % moisture range on wood.
* The right bottom display show " 2 "

3)It is recommended that the test pins are inserted to a
minimum depth of 2 mm into the material under test.
If a depth of 2 mm can not be obtained, then insert the
test pins to their maximum achievable depth.
4)Display will show the moisture contents in " %
moisture content " directly.
Consideration :
If the sample under test has a high moisture
content it may take a few minutes to obtain a
stable reading.
4-2 Data Hold
* During the measurement, press the " Hold Button "
( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) momentarily to hold the measured
value. The LCD will show a " HOLD " symbol.
* Press the" Hold Button " once again to release the
data hold function.
