Measure Mode – Pin-Type

This mode is used to measure the moisture level at the surface and at incremental depth, when used with the auxiliary probes. Measure mode readings are precise and specific to the immediate area of contact of the electrodes. The actual moisture content of wood is shown on the digital display with the corresponding moisture condition shown on the accompanying scale of colour-coded lights. 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 provided wood species calibration chart for more precise readings)
• Deep wall probes establish the presence of moisture in wall cavity insulation, sub and surface structures

Options

• Exterior Insulation and Finished Systems (EIFS) probe finds moisture in exterior insulation finishing systems
• Hammer electrode for wood floor applications

Applications: Wood and wood floors, subfloors, drywall, concrete and concrete block, stucco, plaster, masonry and EIFS.

Reference Mode – (Patent Pending)

In both Pin and Search mode, GE’s patent pending Reference Mode can be used. Reference mode can be useful when trying to establish what materials are above or below a point of reference or dry standard.

Measure the dry standard or baseline material until the meter’s reading is stable, then press for seconds. This will store the reading until the mode changes of the meter turns off. Now all readings taken after will be displayed as normal, but below you will see a second reading that shows you if the material is measured above or below the original reading.
