To take a reading, push the contact pins into the
Sheetrock®
to their full penetration,
if possible.
Press the SELECT button and read the moisture content on the meter scale. The
meter displays the %MC for two seconds.
To add a reading to the previously stored readings, release the SELECT button if
you are in triggered mode. If you are in continuous mode, the meter will not store a
new reading until the SELECT button is pressed and released again during the
reading cycle.
Note:
Readings between 0.1% and 0.5% indicate a sufficiently dry moisture level.
Readings between 0.5% and 1% indicate a borderline situation. Readings
greater than 1% indicate material that is too wet for painting or wallpaper. A
reading above 1% also indicates enough moisture present to allow mold growth
to occur but only if other factors are also present such as a high RH level and
food source.
