2 Search Mode (REL) (cont.)
The Search mode may also be used as
an alternative to the Measure mode
when it is impractical or undesirable
to push electrode pins into surfaces.
Consider, for example, taking
moisture readings behind ceramic
tiles in shower cubicles or in walls
covered by quality wallpapers where
pinholes would not be acceptable.
Surface moisture (such as
condensation on an otherwise dry
wall) has little effect on Search mode
readings. Conductors (other than
water) within the material may cause
high Search mode readings. Make
sure the flat surface on the back of the
meter is in full contact with the
material to be tested.
It is recommended that users place
the meter onto different areas to
measure and do not slide the meter
across surfaces.
Note:
Sliding the meter can cause
premature wear to the back of
the meter.
