Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The DampCheck 082.003E is ready for immediate use after battery installation. Open the battery compartment on the back, insert four LR44 1.5V batteries ensuring correct polarity, and close the compartment. The device is powered on when the probes are placed on or inserted into the material to be measured.
Compatibility: This device is specifically designed for measuring moisture content in soft building materials (like plaster, drywall) and firewood. It also measures ambient temperature. It is not intended for dense, finished concrete or metal surfaces.
Care: To ensure longevity and accuracy, keep the device clean and dry. After use, wipe the probes with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures outside its operating range. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Do not immerse the device in water. Replace batteries promptly when indicated or if performance degrades.
