Faithfull Damp & Moisture Meter - Multicolor

The measuring range for timber is 6% to 42% moisture content.

The measuring range for hard materials (mortar, concrete, plaster) is 0.2% to 2.0% moisture content.

Yes, it can measure moisture content in hard materials like plaster and mortar, which are commonly found in walls. Higher readings may indicate dampness.

Ensure the probes are firmly pressed into the material. For timber, insert the pins perpendicular to the grain. For hard materials, ensure good contact. Avoid measuring on the surface only.

It uses 4 x LR44 batteries, which are included with the meter.

Yes, the meter features an auto power-off function to conserve battery life.

Yes, you can use it outdoors, but ensure the meter itself is protected from excessive moisture or rain. It can also measure ambient temperature.

The backlit display illuminates the screen, making it easier to read the moisture and temperature measurements in low-light conditions.

Ensure the batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Check if the battery compartment is clean. Try replacing the batteries with new ones.

This indicates the moisture level is below the measurable range or there is a connection issue. Ensure the probes are making good contact with the material and try measuring again.

This indicates the moisture level is above the measurable range. For timber, this means it is excessively wet. For hard materials, ensure the reading is within the 0.2-2.0% range.

Ensure the probes are inserted to a consistent depth and are in firm contact with the material. Avoid measuring over knots in timber or aggregates in concrete. Clean the probes if they appear dirty.

Allow the meter to acclimate to the ambient temperature for a few minutes before taking a reading. Ensure the meter is not placed near a direct heat source.
