Introduction 

 

 

 

Thank  you  for  selecting  the  Triplett  MS120  Pinless  Moisture  Meter.  The 
MS120 sensor performs non-invasive, relative moisture measurements on 
wood  and  building  materials  such  as  wallboard,  sheet  rock,  cardboard, 
plaster,  concrete,  and  mortar.  The  MS120  also  offers  auto  power  off 
(APO), display lock (hold), and self-calibration features. 

 

The MS120 is ideal for building restoration projects and applications 
where moisture detection on floors and under carpets is critical. The 
MS120 is also a handy tool for analyzing the effects of water leakage 
behind walls and in ceilings.
