have to be applied, we recommend to
consider drying intervals.

4. This moisture scanner reacts to metal in the same way as on
humidity. In case there is a nail, armouring or another metal
object to be found inside or near the material to be examined
close to the measuring field (plate on back side of device) the
readout value will be too high and cannot be used.
5. The moisture scanner 6200 is not a high-precision measuring
device. We shall not assume any liability for potential damage
resulting from incorrect use of the device or from the fact,
that the scanner has been used as a measuring instrument. For
more accurate measurements of wood and building material
it is recommended to use instruments with selectable material
groups.
