Overview
This instrument detects and evaluates moisture conditions within various building materials by non-destructively measuring the electrical impedance by transmitting a low frequency electronic signal into the material via the electrodes in the base of the instrument. In addition, this meter determines the strength of the current and converts this to a moisture content value, displaying it on a large clear analog dial.

• Wood Moisture Content: 5-30%
• Reference Scale for Building Materials: 0-100
• Depth Of Penetration: Shallow Signal: up to 0.40" (10 mm), Deep Signal: up to 1.25" (30 mm)
• Construction: ABS body
• Display: Analog
• Power: 2 x AALR6 alkaline batteries
• Dimensions: 6.3'' x 3.5'' x 1.5'' (160 mm x 85 mm x 38 mm)
• Weight: 9.5 oz (270 g)
Application
• Locating moisture-related problems within and behind a variety of building materials in the building envelope
• Mapping the extent of moisture damage caused to buildings
• Monitoring progressive drying conditions in the drying process of building materials and surfaces
•Dual-depth penetration allows for comparative of surface and core moisture and elimination of substrate influence on the testing of coverings
