DampMaster / DampMaster Plus Function/application: This material moisture device detects and evaluates the material moisture content of wood and building materials by way of electric resistance measurement. The displayed value is material moisture in % with respect to dry mass. Example: 100 % material moisture for 1 kg of wet wood = 500 g water.

Select building material (01, 02, 03, 04) MODE Just which building materials are grouped under 01 to 04 can be found in the table in Section 11. Measuring material moisture Be sure neither supply lines (electric lines, water pipes, etc) nor a metal subsurface is present at the location to be measured.
DampMaster / DampMaster Plus Material characteristics The material characteristics available for selection in the measuring device are listed in the tables below. The different types of wood are divided into Groups A ... C. Please set the measuring device for the respective group in which the type of wood to be measured is found (see Step 5).

Wet/dry indicator In addition to the measured value, a moisture evaluation will be displayed by the wet/dry indicator in the display. This indicator is tuned by the mate- rial characteristics (A, B, C; 01, 02, 03, 04) stored in the measuring device. This evaluation is subdivided into 5 steps and it makes an evaluation of the measured material easier.

Material temperature compensation Relative material moisture is dependent on the temperature of the material. The device automati- cally compensates different material temperatures in that it measures ambient temperature and uses this 1 sec measurement for its internal calculation. However, the measuring device also offers an option –...

Connecting deep electrodes (Art.-No. 082.023) with connecting cable (Art.-No. 082.022) Use of deep electrodes 1. Round deep-insertion electrode (non-insulated, ø 2 mm) for moisture measurements in building and insulating materials or between joints or joint intersections. 2. Round deep-insertion electrode (insulated, ø 4 mm) for moisture measurement in the concealed structure levels of multi-layer wall or ceiling structures.
