Pin Mode While taking measurements: - If the material is too dry to be measured, the meter will show the lowest possible value indicated by PIN/Min on the left side of the display. - If the material is too wet to be measured, the highest possible value is indicated by PIN/Max on the left side of the display. - Page 9 Measuring Building Materials Pin Mode For Sheetrock (light-weight), Gypsum: Select material setting #15 or 109 E14V Range: 0-22% (based on oven dry weight) - 0.1% to 0.7% is considered dry - 0.8% to 0.9% are questionable - 1% and higher is considered wet. If values between 8-12% are listed for dry sheetrock, they are based on WME percentages (Wood Moisture Equivalent) and not on oven dry weight.
