That is the correct way to use a non-invasive meter: it locates and compares. A reading of 400 on a wall does not mean 400 of anything — it means that spot is considerably wetter than a dry reference reading taken on the same material nearby. Always take a reference reading on known-dry material of the same construction before drawing conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e60–169\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry — green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e170–199\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAt risk — yellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e200–999\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWet — red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat produces a false high reading\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-invasive mode responds to anything conductive behind the surface, not only water.
