Wood Measurement
Switch on the unit, select the symbol for the wood measurement mode (D) and insert both
•
measuring probes approx. 3 - 4 mm into the wood you want to measure. The probes should be
inserted into wood perpendicular to the wood's fibre structure.
Read the moisture content on the display (6 to 60 %). If the display shows „OL" the moisture
•
content of the measured object exceeds the measuring range.
In the table below you will find guide values for moisture contents of wood. Take comparative
•
measurements in order to be able to correctly analyse the readings. Take measurements on a
reference sample which is kiln-dry and compare the readings with the wood you want to check.
Also take several readings in several locations on the wood for best representation of the amount
of moisture present.
The measuring unit automatically switches off after 15 seconds if the unit is not used or if the
•
measuring value does not change during this time. To activate the unit again, press on the
ON/SET button.
After each use, clean the measuring probes with a cloth and put the protection cap over the
•
probes. By doing this, you will avoid injuries caused by the probes.
Descriptions for wood moisture and their moisture range
Wood Moisture
freshly cut wood (wet)
saturated wood
half dry wood
air dry wood
kiln dried wood
Note:
If the ambient temperature is below 20°C, the wood moisture readings are lower and if the ambient
temperature exceeds 20°C, the measured readings are higher. The measured readings depend on
the material, the temperature of the material and the chemical material composition. Due to the salt
content in over salt materials, the electrical conductivity will be higher and the readings will increase.
In such a case, take the kiln comparative measurement with salt analysis for reference.
Material Measurement
Switch on the unit and select the symbol for wood measurement mode (B).
•
Push both measuring probes into the material you want to measure, e. g. floor pavement,
•
plasterboard or plaster.
The building material scale indicates measuring values from 0.2 to 2.9 %. Take comparative
•
measurements in order to be able to correctly analyse the readings. First, measure on a
completely dry wall and compare the readings with the material you want to check. By doing this,
you can compare if the material to be checked is dryer or wetter than the reference sample. Also
take measurements on several locations on the wall or floor in order to analyse the distribution of
the moisture content in the material.
If the display shows „OL", the moisture content exceeds the measuring range of the unit.
•
Temperature Measurements
To activate the temperatures measurement mode, press and hold the button ON/SET for approx.
•
3 seconds. Press several times to select the temperature symbol °C or °F. After approx. 4
seconds the unit turns automatically to measuring mode.
The ambient temperature will be measured in the selected measuring unit °C or °F and the result
•
will be displayed.
Please note that the built-in temperature measuring sensor is close to the ON/SET button. If the
•
unit is held in hand for long time and warms up, the readings will be different.
