3 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the FLIR MR77 with METERLiNK® Blue­tooth capabilities for use with FLIR infrared (IR) cameras.
This pinless moisture meter incorporates a patented built-in IR thermometer and 20-point memory. You can monitor moisture in wood and other building materials with no surface damage with the pinless moisture sensor (pin-type moisture probe included), and measure humidity and air temperature with the built-in probe, plus non-contact IR temperature using its patented IR design. Advanced functions provide moisture content, dew point, and vapor pressure calculations.
This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.

3.1 Key features

• Quickly indicates the moisture content of materials with pinless technology
without damaging the surface.
• Optional remote pin-type probe (MR77-P) allows for moisture readings at dif-
ferent penetration levels (0.9 m (3′) cable length).
• Easy to read, large dual display with backlight feature.
• Simultaneously displays the percentage moisture content of wood or material
being tested and the air temperature, IR temperature, or humidity.
• Uses a patented IR design to measure non-contact surface temperature, with
an 8:1 distance-to-spot ratio and 0.95 fixed emissivity.
• Built-in humidity/temperature probe measures relative humidity and air tem-
perature plus the mixing ratio and the dew point.
• Measures ambient and surface vapor pressure.
• Automatically calculates the differential temperature.
• Minimum/maximum and data hold modes.
• 20-point internal memory.
• Auto power off and low battery indication.
