When the instrument is in Pin Moisture Meter mode, by
default it displays WME WOODTYPE A (see the
Protimeter wood calibration chart)
Use the up
and down buttons
to navigate between different wood types. From Wood
Type B to Wood Type H, if MC% is greater than 30.0,
ABOVE FIBER SAT will be displayed as the wood
status, otherwise the wood status will not be displayed.
When using the built-in pins, the operator should make
firm contact on the surface. It is not necessary or
recommended to push the pins deeply below the
surface.

Using Auxiliary Deep Wall Moisture Probes in
Measure Mode
To take sub-surface readings in masonry, the deep wall
probes should be used instead of the standard moisture
probe. To use the deep wall probes, drill two 1/4” (6 mm)
diameter clearance holes, spaced 2-3 in. (50-75 mm)
apart, to the required depth.
