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

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.

5.3 Hygrometric measurements
In Hygrometer mode, the meter measures and displays the relative humidity, dew
point temperature, mixing ratio, and ambient air temperature.
The three-digit main display shows the relative humidity, dew point temperature,
or mixing ratio, and the four-digit secondary display shows the ambient air temperature. The bar graph matches the reading on the main display.

5 Operation
3. Press the
button repeatedly to cycle through the display of relative hu-
midity, dew point temperature, and mixing ratio.
• Relative humidity: The
indicator is displayed and the reading is
displayed in percent (%).
• Dew point temperature: The
indicator is displayed and the reading
is displayed in ℃ or ℉, depending on the unit setting.
• Mixing ratio: The reading is displayed in grains per pound (GPP) or grams
per kilogram (g/kg), depending on the unit setting.
5.4 IR temperature measurements
IR temperature measurements can be performed in all operating modes.
The meter is equipped with a laser pointer diode, which is used as a targeting
pointer for the IR temperature measurements. The target of the measurement
should be larger than the size of the laser beam spot. As the distance from an object increases, the spot size of the area measured by the meter becomes larger.
The meter’s field of view ratio is 8:1, meaning that if the meter is 8 cm (3.2″) from
the target, the diameter (spot) of the object under test must be at least 1 cm
(0.4″). Refer to Figure 5.1.
Figure 5.1 IR spot-to-distance ratio
IR measurement notes:
• The object under test should be larger than the than the size of the laser
beam spot.
• If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc.,
clean the surface before measuring.
• If the surface of the object is highly reflective, apply masking tape or flat black
paint to the surface before measuring.
• The meter may not make accurate measurements through transparent surfa-
ces such as glass.
#T559822; r.9065/9080; en-US 14
5 Operation
• Steam, dust, smoke, etc., may obscure measurements.
• To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest, then scan across
(in an up and down motion) until the hot spot is located.
WARNING
Do not look directly into the laser beam. The laser beam can cause eye
irritation.
WARNING
Do not use the laser pointer near explosive gases or in other possible explosive areas. Injury to persons can occur.

2. Aim the laser pointer at the surface to be measured. The IR temperature
reading is displayed on the four-digit secondary display.
3. Release the
button to disable the IR sensor and the laser pointer diode.
The last IR temperature reading remains on the display for 8 seconds; then
the meter returns to a display of the ambient air temperature, and the
in-
dicator disappears.
5.5 Condensation measurements
In Condensation mode, the meter determines whether a surface is at risk of condensation, based on measurements of the dew point temperature (relative humidity and ambient air temperature) and the IR temperature of the surface.
1. Press the
button to enter the Condensation mode. The indica-
tor is displayed.
2. Aim the meter at the surface. Press and hold the
button. The indi-
cator is displayed
#T559822; r.9065/9080; en-US 15
5 Operation
3. The dew point temperature is displayed on the main display. The IR temperature of the surface is displayed on the secondary display. The bar graph indicates the level of risk for condensation:
• If the IR temperature is more than 14℃ (25℉) above the dew point tem-
perature, the bar graph is empty.
• If the IR temperature is 3–14℃ (5–25℉) above the dew point tempera-
ture, the bar graph indicates a percentage of full scale.
• If the IR temperature is less than 3℃ (5℉) above the dew point tempera-
ture, the bar graph is full.
4. Release the
button to disable the IR sensor and the laser pointer diode.
The last IR temperature reading remains on the display for 8 seconds; then
the meter returns to a display of the ambient air temperature and the
in-
dicator disappears.
5.6 Vapor pressure measurements
Vapor pressure measurement is a special variant of condensation measurement.
The meter calculates the vapor pressure based on measurements of the relative
humidity and the IR temperature of the surface.
1. Press the
button to enter Condensation mode. The indicator is
displayed. The unit of measurement on the main display is ℃ or ℉, depending on the unit setting.
2. Press the
button once more to enter Vapor pressure mode. The unit
of measure on the main display changes to kPa or mBar, depending on unit
setting.
3. Aim the meter at the surface. Press and hold the
button.
4. The vapor pressure is displayed on the main display. The IR temperature of
the surface is displayed on the secondary display.
5. Release the
button to disable the IR sensor and the laser pointer diode.
The last IR temperature reading remains on the display for 8 seconds; then
the meter returns to a display of the ambient air temperature and the
in-
dicator disappears.

5 Operation
5.7 Selecting measurement units
There are two sets of units; US and metric. The unit setting can be changed at
any time in any mode, by pressing and holding the
button for 2 seconds.
The unit setting applies to all modes. It is not possible to, for example, display
moisture in g/kg while showing temperature in ℉.
US unit setting:
• Temperature is displayed in degrees Fahrenheit (℉).
• Mixing ratio is displayed in grains per pound (GPP).
• Vapor pressure is displayed in millibars (mBar).
Metric unit setting:
• Temperature is displayed in degrees Celsius (℃).
• Mixing ratio is displayed in grams per kilogram (g/kg).
• Vapor pressure is displayed in kilopascals (kPa).
5.8 Storing and recalling measurements
5.8.1 Datalogger memory locations
The meter has 20 datalogger memory locations for the storage of measurement
data. Each memory location stores the current readings for all operating modes,
with the current unit settings. Thus, each location contains moisture, humidity,
ambient temperature, and IR temperature data.
5.8.2 Storing a measurement

5.11 Streaming measurement data using Bluetooth
5.11.1 General
Some IR cameras from Flir Systems support Bluetooth communication and to
those cameras you can stream measurement data from the meter. The data is
then merged into the result table in the IR image.
#T559822; r.9065/9080; en-US 19
5 Operation
Streaming measurement data is a convenient way to add important information
to an IR image. For example, when identifying a water leakage in a wall, you may
want to know the humidity in the wall.
The Bluetooth range is 10m (32ft) maximum.
5.11.2 Procedure
1. Pair the IR camera with the instrument. Refer to the camera manual for information on how to pair Bluetooth devices.
2. Turn on the camera.
3. Turn on the meter.
4. Press and hold the
