4.2 Pinless Moisture Meter — Selection and Use (cont.)
In Search mode, the device has the capability to give comparative
measurement.
Note:
If metal is present below the surface, the MMS2 may give a false
positive.
Comparative measurement helps in measuring whether the surface
moisture/material is wetter or dryer than the Reference surface/ material. If
the surface moisture/material is wetter than the reference surface/ material,
then the progress bar is red, or if it’s dryer, then the progress bar is green.
This method takes four steps:
1. Select
Pinless Moisture meter
under the Main Menu .
2. Place the device on the material which has been chosen as the reference
material.
3. Press the right arrow button for two seconds to store the reading as
reference reading.
4. Now if the device is placed on any material, it indicates whether the
material is wetter or dryer than the reference material.
