Page 11: Detecting Hygroscopic Salts
Electrode. Detecting Hygroscopic Salts 4.1b The Protimeter MMS3 instrument can be used as a basic salts detector when used with the moisture probe, filter papers and distilled water (not included). Moisten the filter paper with the water and take a reference reading across it with the moisture probe. - Page 12 Pinless Moisture Meter mode is selected, the device will display the surface moisture in terms of Wood Moisture Place the MMS3 on the surface, but do not slide it. Note: Sliding will wear out the back of the meter, as well as possibly mark the wall.
