Page 5: Operation
Powering the meter Remove the RH sensor protective cap before use. Press the power button to turn the meter on. If the symbol appears or the meter does not turn on, replace the battery. Note: Operation with Bluetooth enabled reduces battery life to less than 8 hours. Using an external AC adaptor is recommended when the meter will be used for monitoring over a long period of time. Humidity (Dew point, GPP, g/kg) Measurements Press the power button to turn the meter on. Press the RH button Relative Humidity will be displayed in the primary display and the temperature will be displayed in the secondary display. Press the up or down arrow button to change the temperature units. Press the MODE button to display the DEW point. Press the MODE button to display GPP (°F) or g/kg (°C). Press the ▲or ▼button to toggle between GPP or g/kg. Pinless Moisture Measurements Press the power button to turn the meter on. Press the MOIST button to select Moisture measurement.” MOIST”, and “INT” (internal pinless sensor) will appear in the display. Hold the meter so that the rear sensor is away from any surface or your hand. The reading should be near 0.0. If not, press and hold the ZERO button for more than 2 second and the ZERO icon appears. Place the rear sensor on the surface of the material to be tested and read the relative moisture content. Pin Type Moisture Measurements Connect the external pin probe to the jack on the bottom of the meter. Press the power button to turn the meter on. Press the MOIST button twice to select Moisture measurement.” MOIST”, and “EXT” (external pin probe) will appear in the display. Press the probe pins into the material and read the % moisture content in the display. MO300-EN v1.3 5/14... - Page 6 EXTECH INSTRUMENTS Infrared Temperature Measurements Press the power button to turn the meter on. Press the IRT button to enable the IR thermometer and the laser pointer. The laser pointer icon will flash while the mode is active. Press the ▲or ▼button to change the temperature units Aim the laser pointer at the surface to be measured and read the surface temperature in the secondary display. Release the IRT button. The last temperature measured and the laser icon will remain on the display for approximately 10 seconds before returning to ambient temperature measurement. IRT MAX MIN display: The meter can be set to display only the maximum or minimum temperature measured during an IR scan. With the meter in the IR hold mode, press the MODE button. “MIN” will appear in the display. Press the IRT button to enable the IR thermometer. The meter will display the minimum temperature measured and will update only when a lower temperature is measured. Press the MODE button twice to enable the MAX mode and proceed as stated above for the maximum temperature. The MAX or MIN temperature is not stored when the function is exited. The unit automatically exits MAX/MIN mode after approximately 10 seconds. MO300-EN v1.3 5/14...
- Page 7 40mm @ 320mm WARNING: Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye. Low power visible lasers do not normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed directly for extended periods of time. Condensation Mode The Condensation feature alerts the user when the surface temperature as measured by the IR thermometer is close to or has reached the Dew Point temperature. Press the power button to turn the meter on. Simultaneously press the MOIST and RH buttons. The “COND” icon will appear. Point the meter at a surface, press the IRT button to measure the surface temperature. The small display will indicate the IR surface temperature and the large display will indicate the difference between the IR temperature and the Dew Point temperature. The meter will then report the potential for condensation on that surface in the following manner If the temperature of the IRT is more than 14°C (25°F) above the Dew Point, the temperature difference shall be displayed, with no other warning. If the temperature of the IRT is 3‐14°C (5‐25°F) above the Dew Point, the temperature difference shall be displayed, along with a standard Condensation Indicator icon. The meter shall beep once to confirm that the reading is in the risk area. If the temperature of the IRT is less than 3°C (5°F) above the Dew Point, the temperature difference shall be displayed, along with a flashing Condensation Indicator icon. The meter shall beep twice to confirm that the reading is in the high‐risk area. Press the RH button to exit the mode. MO300-EN v1.3 5/14...
- Page 8 EXTECH INSTRUMENTS Vapor Pressure Mode Ambient Vapor Pressure With the Condensation mode active, press the MODE button to display the Vapor Pressure in mBAR (°F) or kPa (°C).

Press the IRT button and aim the laser pointer at the surface to be measured to display the Surface Vapor Pressure in mBAR (°F) or kPa (°C). Alarm High and Low Limit Setting High and Low alarm points can be set for Humidity and Moisture measurements. Humidity Alarm Set Procedure: With RH% displayed, simultaneously press the RH and MODE buttons. The “HIGH” icon will appear on the display. Press the ▲or ▼button to set the high limit desired. Press the STORE/ALARM SET button to save the value and proceed to the LOW set value. With the “LOW” icon in the display, Press the ▲or ▼button to set the low limit desired. Press the STORE/ALARM SET button to save the value and to return to the normal mode. If the humidity measurement is lower than the low alarm setting or higher than the high alarm setting, the meter will beep once every second. Moisture Alarm Set Procedure: With MOIST displayed, simultaneously press the MOIST and MODE buttons. The “HIGH” icon will appear on the display. Press the ▲or ▼button to set the high limit desired. Press the STORE/ALARM SET button to save the value and proceed to the LOW set value. With the “LOW” icon in the display, Press the ▲or ▼button to set the low limit desired. Press the STORE/ALARM SET button to save the value and to return to the normal mode. If the moisture measurement is lower than the LOW alarm setting, the meter will beep once every second If the moisture measurement is higher than the HIGH alarm setting, the meter will beep continuously.

Auto Power Off The meter will enter a sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity. The meter will emit a warning beep 15 seconds before shutting down. To disable the APO feature, press the MODE button when turning the meter ON. The “APO” icon will not appear, indicating it is disabled. Bluetooth and Android Communication This meter includes a Bluetooth module designed to communicate with an Android Application ExView MO300. Enable the MO300 Bluetooth by pressing and holding the ▲button for two seconds. The Bluetooth icon will appear in the display. Pair the meter to the Android App ExView MO300. Once paired, the data from the MO300 will be continuously displayed and updated on the Android App ExView MO300. Typical Moisture Measurement and Documentation Procedures Use the Moisture meter to measure the moisture levels at various suspect locations. When a spot of interest is located, store the moisture reading in the moisture meter’s memory. Recall the reading from memory. The moisture meter will now continuously transmit this reading via Bluetooth. MO300-EN v1.3 5/14...
