FAQs
What types of materials can this meter measure?
The DampFinder Compact Plus is designed for measuring humidity in wood and common building materials like plaster, concrete, and screed.
How does the mould risk alert work?
The device analyzes moisture levels in conjunction with ambient temperature and humidity to estimate the likelihood of mould growth, providing a warning when conditions are favourable for mould.
Is the Bluetooth feature mandatory for use?
No, the Bluetooth interface is optional. The device can be used effectively for direct measurements without connecting to a smartphone or tablet.
What is the typical accuracy of the moisture readings?
Accuracy depends on the material being measured and proper usage. Refer to the product manual for specific accuracy ranges for wood and building materials.
How do I connect the device to my smartphone via Bluetooth?
Download the compatible Laserliner app, enable Bluetooth on your phone, turn on the DampFinder Compact Plus, and follow the in-app instructions to pair the devices.
Can this meter measure moisture deep within thick walls?
The probe pins measure surface and near-surface moisture. For deeper moisture detection, professional assessment or specialized equipment might be required.
Troubleshooting
Device does not power on.
Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
Inaccurate moisture readings.
Ensure the probe pins are clean and making good contact with the material. Check if the correct measurement mode (wood/building material) is selected. Avoid measuring on highly conductive surfaces like metal.
Bluetooth connection fails.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone/tablet. Check that the device is within Bluetooth range. Restart both the moisture meter and your mobile device. Ensure you are using the correct companion app.
Temperature or RH readings seem incorrect.
Allow the device to acclimatize to the ambient environment for at least 15-20 minutes before taking readings. Avoid direct sunlight or proximity to heat/cold sources.
