Pinless Moisture/Humidity Meter with Memory + IR Thermometer

Model MO295

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech MO295 Pinless Moisture Meter with Patented Built-in IR Thermometer and 20 Point Memory. Monitor moisture in wood and other building materials with no surface damage with the Pinless Moisture sensor (Pin-type Moisture Probe included). Measure Humidity and Air Temperature with built-in probe plus non-contact InfraRed Temperature with patented IR design. Advanced functions provide Grains per Pound, Dew Point and Vapor Pressure calculations. This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.

Safety

• Use extreme caution when the laser pointer beam is on

• Do not point the beam toward anyone's eye or allow the

beam to strike the eye from a reflective surface

• Do not use the laser near explosive gases or in other potentially explosive areas

Features

• Quickly indicates the moisture content of materials with Pinless technology without damaging the surface;

• Optional remote Pin-type probe (MO290-P) allows for moisture readings at different penetration levels (3ft/0.9m cable length);

• Easy to read, large dual display with backlit feature;

• Simultaneously displays % moisture of wood or material being tested and Air

Temperature, IR Temperature, or Humidity

• Designed with patented IR design to measure non-contact surface temperature; 8:1 distance to spot ratio with 0.95 fixed emissivity

• Built-in Humidity/Temperature probe measures Relative Humidity,

• Air Temperature plus Grains Per Pound (GPP) and Dew Point (DP)

• Ambient and Surface Vapor Pressure

• Automatic calculation of differential Temperature (IR - DP)

• Min/Max and Data Hold

• 20 point internal memory

• Auto power off and low battery indication

Battery Replacement

1. Turn off the meter.

2. Remove one Philips head screw and lift off the rear battery cover.

3. Replace the 9V battery.

4. Secure the rear battery cover.
