The device uses a 12-LED indicator to show the degree of moisture. It provides a relative measurement rather than a specific percentage value, indicated by the illuminated LEDs.
The device features an automatic shut-off after 3 minutes of inactivity and a low battery indicator. Specific battery life depends on usage, but it is designed for efficient power consumption.
Yes, the device has a selectable profile for 'Cement Screed', allowing it to measure moisture in concrete building materials.
The housing is primarily made of recycled plastic and is designed for typical use in crafts, refurbishment, or warehouse control. Handle with care to ensure longevity.
Yes, the device is supplied with a battery.
The 12 colored LEDs indicate the moisture level. More LEDs illuminated generally signify higher moisture content. An additional acoustic warning is provided for wet materials.
Check if the battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Replace the battery if necessary.
Ensure the correct material profile is selected. Make sure the pins are clean and making good contact with the surface. Test on a known dry material to calibrate your understanding of the readings.
Verify that the device is indeed detecting a wet material, as the warning only activates under specific moisture thresholds. Check the battery level, as low power can affect audible alerts.
Clean the LED display area with a soft cloth. Ensure the device is not exposed to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight which could affect visibility.
Setup: The MoistureFinder Compact comes with a battery included. To begin, ensure the battery compartment is securely closed. Select the appropriate material profile (soft wood, hard wood, plaster, or cement screed) by pressing the designated buttons before taking a measurement. Place the device's pins onto the surface to be tested.
Compatibility: This device is designed to measure the moisture content of wood and specific building materials like plaster and cement screed. It is not designed for liquids or other types of materials.
Care: Keep the device clean by wiping it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the pins remain clean and free from debris for accurate readings. Store the device in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan. The housing is primarily made of recycled plastic, so handle it with care to avoid damage.
