The MMS instrument is a battery powered handheld unit that has cluster of four buttons
and a large liquid crystal display (LCD). The bulge at the top of the instrument houses
a sensor for detecting moisture within solid materials. Edge connection1 (EC1) is for
use with a Hygrostick probe. The jack-socket (JC) is for use with a moisture probe, deep
wall probes or hammer electrode. EC2 is for use with the Direct Contact Surface
Temperature Sensor and for connection to a PC when using the optional MMS logging
software.
The Hygrostick probe measures relative humidity (%rh) and ambient air temperature
(T
AIR
) in rooms or materials. It can be connected directly to the MMS instrument or by
means of the Hygrostick extension lead. The surface temperature sensor is used (T
S
)
when investigating condensation situations. The moisture probe is used to obtain
percent moisture content values in wood or wood moisture equivalent (WME) values in
other non-conductive materials. Deep wall probes are used to obtain WME values at
depth in solid structures such as walls and floors.
