Features (All 200 Series Meters) 

 
 

Auto-Shutdown: 

The meter will automatically shutdown in 60 seconds when the meter’s moisture content reading has not 
changed  by  more  than  2%,  and  none  of  the  meter  buttons  have  been  pressed.  The  shutdown  timer  will 
reset anytime the meter reading changes or a button has been pressed. 
 

Low Battery Indicator: 

If the meter is On, and battery voltage is low, the LO BAT indicator will be shown on the left side of the 
display. When the LO BAT indicator is on, you must replace the battery or the meter may not function 
properly. If the battery needs to be replaced, use either a 9-volt alkaline or a ni-cad rechargeable.  Be sure 
to observe proper battery polarity. 
 
 
 

Meter Storage 

 
 
For  a  long  service  life,  it  is  important  to  store  your  meter  properly.  Avoid  excessively  hot  or  cold 
locations,  and  keep  the  meter  in  the  case  provided.  Do  not  store  the  meter  in  an  area  with  excessive 
electro-magnetic  interference,  such  as  near  an  electric  motor,  or  where  it  could  be  crushed,  such  as  in 
front of a forklift.  Do not leave the meter in an operating kiln during the drying cycle. 
 
 
 

Meter Calibration 

 
 
The meter has been calibrated at the factory and should not require re-calibration. If you need to have the 
calibration  verified,  please  contact  the  Wagner  Meters  Sales  Department  to  purchase  a  calibration 
verification block if you don’t already have one.  Should the meter need to have a calibration adjustment, 
it will need to be returned to Wagner Meters Technical Services Department.
