Page 7: Set Up
SET UP Battery Installation This meter uses two AAA batteries. To install the batteries before first use: 1. Unscrew the single screw in the center of the back of the meter. This screw secures the battery cover. 2. Remove the battery door by inverting the meter and allowing the door to slide out. - Page 8 Meter On and Off 1. Press POWER to turn the meter on. 2. Press POWER to turn the meter off. 3. The meter will automatically turn off after ten minutes of inactivity. Backlight 1. Press the backlight button to illuminate the LCD screen.
- Page 9 Select Ambient Air Units IMPORTANT: The temperature and humidity readings represent the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air and do NOT represent the temperature or humidity of the material being tested. 1. Press UNIT to toggle through temperature and humidity unit options. The meter will toggle through temperature settings first (°C or °F) followed by the humidity options of Relative Humidity, Wet Bulb, and Dew...

CALIBRATION Check the meter periodically using its included calibration cap. The meter can be checked before each use or when switching between materials. 1. Turn the meter on and ensure it is set to Material 1. 2. Remove the protective cap and turn it upside down to expose the calibration sensors. - Page 11 5. If the meter does not display the number 35%, follow these troubleshooting steps. a. Ensure there is no residual material on the pins. Drywall, wood, wet concrete, or screed can adhere to the pins. Ensure both pins are clean and dry. b.

- Page 14 Read the Moisture Content 1. Remove the protective cap and insert the pins into the material to be tested using consistent firm pressure. 2. For best results, hold the meter by the dark rubber handgrip. If your hand is too close to the top of the meter, you could obtain incorrect ambient air readings or risk damage to your hand from the pins.
- Page 15 Data Hold The Minimum/Maximum functions on the meter are disabled during data hold. Also, new readings cannot be taken. 1. Press HOLD to freeze the reading on the display. “Hold” appears at the top of the LCD and the reading remains on the display until hold is disabled.
- Page 16 Maximum/Minimum Mode It is important to take readings from different areas of your material to determine the overall moisture content. This is especially true of large surfaces due to material inconsistency, location of moisture sources, depth of penetration, and environmental factors. Maximum/Minimum mode allows you to take several readings and displays the minimum and maximum values.
- Page 17 6. Press MAXIMUM/MINIMUM again to return to regular mode. You will not lose the previous MIN/MAX readings. 7. To clear the memory of previous readings, turn the meter OFF.
