1. MOISTURE METER FOR WOOD AND BUILDING MATERIAL
Used to measure the moisture level in sawn timber (also cardboard, paper) and hardened materials (plaster,
concrete and mortar). It displays the moisture level in the material straightaway.
Technical data
Measuring principle: Electrical resistance
Electrode length: 8 mm
Electrodes: Integrated, replaceable
Measuring range: Wood: 6 – 44 %
Material: 0.2 – 2.0 %
Display Wood: ±1 %
Accuracy: Material: ±0.05 %
Auto power OFF After approx. 15 minutes
Battery: 3 × Cr 2032, replaceable
Housing material: Impact-proof plastic housing
Ambient temperature: 0 - 40°C
Ambient Relative humidity: 0 – 85 %RH
Dimensions: 130×40×25 mm
Weight: 100g
Warranty: 1 year
2. MAINTENANCE
zAlways keep instrument dry.
zPrevent dirt from getting in between the measuring electrodes
zChanging the electrodes:
Unscrew the 5 screws at the back of the instruments.
Remove housing lid. Unscrew all 5 screws on the electronic plate. Replace electrodes.
Close instrument again.
3. FUNCTION CHECK
“O------T------O”
Connect electrodes with Tcontacts to the protective cap.
Reference display for wood: 27%±2%
Reference display for building material: 1.25%±0.1%
Function error: Send instrument for servicing.
4. APPLICATION
zRemove the cap from the top side and place on the bottom side
The instrument switches on automatically.
zPress the measuring electrodes as far as possible into the material.
zAlways measure the moisture in the wood perpendicular to the fibre structure.
zRepeated measuring yields representative measured data.
zOnce the measurement is finished, reattach the cap on the top side and the instrument switches itself off.

5. DISPLAY
The reading is shown in the form of bars:
a continuous line
= even values e.g. 6, 8, 14
dotted line
= uneven values e.g. 7,11
Overflow: reading  44%/2.0%
Please note: Characteristics due to growth or type of wood and deviating wood temperatures may make it
necessary to correct the displayed values. Measurements should be carried out according to the drying and
weighing/calcium carbide method in the case of inspections or for reference purposes.
Automatic Power OFF
In order to conserve battery life, the meter will automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes. To
press and restoration the power switches the meter display is on.
Battery check
“O…… B……O”
Connect electrodes with Bcontacts to the protective cap.
Reference display for wood: 44%
Reference display for building material: 2.05%
Display has to full.
6. CHANGING THE BATTERY
When the batteries become exhausted or drop below the operating voltage, the battery warning “ “
symbol will appear in the LCD display. The battery should be replaced.
Unscrew the 1 screws at the back of the instrument.
Remove the battery housing. Change battery. Observe polarization! Reconnect instrument.

NOTE: "This instrument doesn’t have ATEX protection, so it should not be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres (powder, flammable gases)."
