- This reliable moisture meter has two modes of operation, search and measure.
- These functions can help the user to distinguish sub-surface from surface moisture, essential information when trying to establish the extent and cause of a dampness problem.
- It is a versatile pin and non-invasive meter, ergonomically designed for easy, one-handed operation to measure moisture in buildings and other related structures both on and below the surface.
- This allows you to assess moisture levels for new or refurbishing activities and diagnose moisture-related problems in existing buildings.

Benefits:
- Easy-to-use
- Allows rapid assessment of building moisture
- Instant readings in a wide range of building materials
- Non-invasive measurement not adversely affected by surface moisture
- Two meters in one
Search Mode: Non-Invasive:
- The search mode is used to assess the moisture level beneath the surface of solid walls and floors independently of surface conditions.
- The nominal depth of the measurement is ¾ inch (19 mm); this depends on the density and other characteristics of the material being measured.
- When held against the surface, as shown below, the instrument transmits a signal into the material.
- The relative moisture level is shown on the digital display and its moisture condition is shown on the accompanying scale of colour-coded lights.
This measurement presentation helps the user to:
- Look for moisture behind wall and floor coverings, such as tile and vinyl.
- Assess, in relative terms, if the material is in a dry, borderline or damp condition.
- Map the extent of the problem numerically.
- Non-invasive pinless radio frequency finds moisture at depth where moisture is not always directly visible—up to 3/4 in (25.4 mm) below the surface.
- This mode of measurement is not adversely affected by the presence of surface moisture.
Note: Metal additives in concrete can create false positive readings.
Measure Mode: Pin-Type
- This mode is used to measure the moisture level at the surface and at incremental depth, when used with the auxiliary probes.
- Measure mode readings are precise and specific to the immediate area of contact of the electrodes.
- The actual moisture content of wood is shown on the digital display with the corresponding moisture condition shown on the accompanying scale of colour-coded lights.
- Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) values are shown for other non-conductive, porous building materials.
- Pin-type probes measure moisture in wood and other building materials (use provided wood species calibration chart for more precise readings)
- Deep wall probes establish the presence of moisture in wall cavity insulation, sub and surface structures
Reference mode (Patent Pending):
- In both Pin and Search mode, the Reference Mode can be used.
- Reference mode can be useful when trying to establish what materials are above or below a point of reference or dry standard.
- Measure the dry standard or baseline material until the meter’s reading is stable then press for seconds.
- This will store the reading until the mode changes of the meter turns off.
- Now all readings 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.
