Auto Power OFF
The meter will automatically power OFF if the reading stays 0% for 3 minutes. If the meter detects
readings, other than 0%, it will not automatically power OFF.
Display (Hold) Lock
Short press the Display Lock button
to freeze the displayed reading. The
icon is visible on
the display when Display Lock is active. Press
again to return to the normal operating mode.
Beeper ON/OFF
The beeper defaults to ON. To switch the beeper OFF, long press the Display Lock/Audible Beeper
button
. When the beeper is active, the audio display icon
will be visible.
Pinless Moisture Measurements
1.
Short press the Material Select button (
) to toggle the Wood
and Building Material
modes of operation. The displayed icon indicates the selected mode.
2.
To take a measurement, hold the meter and position the sensor so that it is directly touching
the surface under test (at any angle). The meter can sense moisture to a depth of 10.2cm (4”).
NOTE: The position of your hand can affect the reading. Do not move or reposition the hand
that holds the meter while taking measurements or when powering the unit.
3.
Observe the displayed relative readings, view the displayed moisture droplet icon(s) (more
drops indicate higher moisture levels), and listen for the audible beeping (faster beeping
indicates higher moisture; there are eight intensity levels). As discussed in the
Measurement
Considerations
section, the displayed reading is an average of the moisture measured over the
tested surface area to the maximum penetration depth.
4.
Long press the power button to power OFF the meter.
