Mms2 Modes; Pin Moisture Meter - Selection And Use - Protimeter MMS2 Instruction Manual

4. MMS2 Modes

The Protimeter MMS2 can be used to detect and measure moisture in
non-conductive solid materials such as wood, drywall and masonry. The
MMS2 can measure the different parameters in building applications: room
temperature, room relative humidity, surface temperature with contact and
non-contact method, qualitative measurements and precise and localized
moisture content measurements in wood or WME values in materials other
than wood.

4.1 Pin Moisture Meter - Selection and Use

Navigate to
SELECT MODE -> PIN MOISTURE METER
Pin Moisture Meter mode. Connect the moisture probe, deep wall probe, or
Hammer electrode into socket B of the MMS2 instrument.
The instrument can now be used to take actual
readings in wood and
than wood by placing the moisture probe pins in firm contact with the surface
as shown in Figure 2 on page 6. The measured value is displayed and the
progress bar indicates whether the material is in a
condition.
