If you suspect a problem conduct a visual inspection.  Look for gaps around 
windows, doors, air conditioning units, light fixtures, hose bibs, dryer vents 
and other areas of potential penetration. Also look for visible signs of water 
damage. If you believe a problem exists, use TechScan as a quick scanning 
tool to determine the general location of the moisture. Then use a pin- type 
meter to better identify exact problem areas and depth of moisture intrusion. 

 
 
CARE OF YOUR METER: 

 

  Store the meter in a clean, dry place. The protective carrying case provided is 

an ideal storage place when the meter is not in use. 

  Change the 9-Volt battery as needed. Continued use with a low battery may 

cause the meter to go out of calibration. 

  Clean the meter with any biodegradable cleaner. Use the cleaner sparingly 

and on external parts only.  

  Remove the battery if the meter will not be used for one month or longer.
