Notes regarding the operating manual
EN Operating manual – Material moisture measuring de vice T510 2
Description of the device
The material moisture measuring device T510 enables the determination of the moisture content in wood and other soft building
materials (e.g. gypsum, plaster) according to the resistance
measurement method.
The device comes with two different types of measurement: for
wood moisture on the one hand and for building moisture on the
other. Different wood types or materials can be set for these
measuring modes.
The device can be operated via a capacitive touchscreen control
panel.
When not in use, an automatic switch-off saves the battery.
Optionally, different electrodes can be connected via a separately
available adapter set.
You can connect the device to a computer by using the USB cable
included in the scope of delivery. Then you can extract and analyse your measured results with the optional MultiMeasure Studio
software.
