Note:
When holding the meter at the bottom, away from any
objects, it should not show any reading.
As reliable readings are obtained only if the
sensor bulge is in direct contact with the surface, the
Search
mode is not suitable for surveying textured
finishes. The nominal depth of penetration in dense,
homogeneous materials is up to 19mm (3/4”) in the
standard mode and up to 12 cm (5”) in the sensitivity
mode (varies with material under test). Readings taken
through low-density coverings (carpets, polystyrene
tiles, etc.) will not be representative of the moisture level
in the substrate itself. When using the MMS3 in
Pinless
mode, it is recommended that no attachments are
connected. This practice will minimize
reading errors and the potential for electromagnetic
interference with other electronic equipment. When the
Pinless Moisture Meter
mode is selected, the device will
display the surface moisture in terms of
Wood Moisture
Note:
Place the MMS3 on the surface, but do not slide it.
Sliding will wear out the back of the meter, as well as possibly
mark the wall.
