Function/application: This material moisture instrument detects
and evaluates the material moisture content of wood and building
materials by way of electric resistance measurement. The displayed
value is material moisture in % with respect to dry mass. Example :
100% material moisture for 1 lb of wet wood = .5 lb water.
Measurement procedure notice:
Be sure neither supply lines (electric lines, water pipes, etc) nor a
metal subsurface is present at the location to be measured. Insert
the electrodes as far into the material as possible but never use
excessive or sudden impact force as this could damage the unit.
Always pull the unit out of the material with left/right twisting
motion. Perform several comparative measurements at die-
rent locations to minimise measurement error.
The sharply pointed electrodes present an injury hazard . Always
put the safety cap on the unit when it is not in use or being
transported.
Wood
5
Mineral building materials
The location to be measured
should be untreated, free of
knots, dirt and resin.
Measurements should not
be made on the end faces of
wood because these areas
dry particularly quickly such
that they produce incorrect
measurement results.
Read measurement results
from the left-hand wood
moisture scale.
Refer to the conversion table
below in order to obtain more
precise measurements for
dierent materials.
Be aware that walls (or surfaces) made of several dierent
materials, or even variations in
the material‘s consistency, can
cause measurement results to
be falsied. Perform multiple
comparative measurements.
Read measurement results
from the right-hand building
materials scale.
Refer to the conversion table
below in order to obtain more
precise measurements for
dierent materials.

Table notices:
Measurements indicated on the instrument‘s dual-scale are based
on the common built-in material characteristics for wood and
building materials. More precise results can be obtained for the
given wood or building material when the indicated measurement
is referenced to the conversion table.
Example: Measurement on the left scale: 24%, corresponds
to 1,2% for gypsum plaster. Values with a grey background are
considered to be wet.

General notices:
Functional and operational safety is only warranted when the
instrument is operated within the specied climatic conditions
and is only used for those purposes for which it is designed.
Responsibility for the interpretation of measurement results and
consequent actions taken lie entirely with the user.
Warranty
The warranty period is 1 year from the date of purchase. The warranty
covers all material or manufacturing defects occurring during this time.
The following are excluded from warranty: Damage due to improper
use (e.g. operation with wrong type of current/voltage, connection
to unsuitable power source, fall onto hard surface, etc.) or improper
storage, normal wear and tear, and defects which only insignicantly
impair the value or suitability for use. Any tampe
persons will render this warranty void. In the event that you need
to claim warranty, please take the complete device together with
all information and the invoice to one of our dealers and have them
contact us.
