Tracing Water Leakage
Touch the "measuring" pins to surfaces such as concrete,
wood, plaster, dry walls or ceiling. Notice the reading on the
LCD display, continuously take the measurement at different
locations approaching "higher" readings. Leakage is located
when the reading remains at "highest value".
EXAMPLES OF OTHER TYPICAL PROJECTS USING THIS METER
IMPORTANT NOTES
Chemical /
Pharmaceutical
Monitor the dryness or
conductivity of powers. Painting
Check the dryness of
walls prior to painting
or varnishing.
Tilling
Check wall dryness prior
to tilling. Agriculture /
Gardening
Monitoring soil moisture
conditions.
Furniture
Check de dampness
of wood prior to painting,
varnishing or processing. Wallpaper
Dampness check of
drywalls or plaster walls
prior to wall papering.
Gently push the measuring pins into the material to be
measured. Do not use excessive force. Do not bang or forcefully
push in to hard materials such as concrete. To more accurately
measure moisture below the surface of hard, non-porous
materials, drill 2 small holes at the same width as the pins and no deeper than the length of the pins. Then
touch the bottom of the holes with the tips of the measuring pins. To measure moisture in concrete and other
porous materials you need only touch the surface as there is no need to penetrate into porous materials.

When removing the protective cover be careful not to hurt your hand on the pins.
When measuring the moisture content of soil, higher and more
accurate readings appear the deeper the pins are inserted.
In some cases, readings may not be even across different locations of the same
material due to changes in the density of the material.
When a surface of an object is
conductive, as with a metallic
material, the maximum reading
of ''50'' or ''33'' will appear on
the LDC screen.
Always keep the measuring
pins clean and replace the
protective cover when not use
