TESTING DRYWALL
USING PIN MODE
To take a reading,
set the meter scale for drywall and push the contact pins on the 2-E electrode
into their full penetration, if possible.
Press the SELECT button
and read the moisture content on the meter scale. The meter displays
the %MC for two seconds.
USING SCAN MODE
You can also take a reference reading on drywall using the meter’s
SCAN
mode
. To take a
reading,
firmly press the back of the meter onto the material to be tested while in
SCAN
mode.
This will display a relative reading that ranges between 0 and 300. Remember to establish a
baseline reading by taking a reading in an area you know to be unaffected, then take a reading in
the affected area and compare the two readings.
