Calibration:
- Calibration Interval: We recommend that customers establish calibration intervals based on their own experience, work environment and quality procedures. Based on our product knowledge, data and customer feedback, a one-year calibration interval is a good starting point.

How it Works
Search Mode Non-Invasive
The search mode is used to assess the moisture level beneath the surface of solid walls and floors, independent of surface conditions. The nominal depth of measurement is 19mm (3/4"); this depends on the density and other characteristics of the material being measured. When held against the surface, the Instrument transmits a signal into the material. The relative moisture level is displayed on the digital display, and its moisture condition is shown on the accompanying colour-coded light scale. The measurement presentation helps the user to:
- Look for moisture behind wall and floor coverings, such as tile and vinyl
- Assess, in relative terms, if the material is in dry, borderline or damp condition
- Map the extent of the problem numerically
- Non-invasive pinless radio frequency finds moisture at a depth where moisture is not always visible - up to 19mm (3/4") below the surface.
This measurement method is not adversely affected by surface moisture.
Applications: Shower pans, behind ceramic tile, fine finishes, water stains, tile and vinyl floor coverings, joists, around toilets, drywall, below-grade floors and walls, plaster, masonry, concrete and concrete block
Note: Metal additives in concrete or foil linings can create false positive readings
Measure Mode Pin-Type
This mode measures moisture levels at the surface and at incremental depths when used with the auxiliary probes. Measure mode readings are precise to the immediate area of electrode contact. The actual moisture content of the wood is displayed on the digital display, with the corresponding moisture condition shown on the accompanying colour-coded light scale. Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) values are shown for other non-conductive, porous building materials.
- Pin-type probes measure moisture in wood and other building materials (use the provided wood calibration chart for more precise readings)
- Deep wall probes detect moisture in wall cavity insulation, substructures, and surface structures.
- Other probes are available for EIFS, wood floors, baseboards and more
Applications: Wood and wood floors, subfloors, drywall, gyprock, concrete and concrete block, stucco, plaster, masonry and EIFS
