KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Pinless Sensor Technology: Utilizes electromagnetic waves to measure moisture content without penetrating the wood surface, preventing damage and saving time.
Dual Depth Measurement: Offers flexibility to measure moisture at two different depths: 0.25 inches (6.4mm) for surface readings and 0.75 inches (19mm) with IntelliSense™ technology for deeper assessments.
Data Collection: Stores up to 100 moisture readings in manual or automatic mode, providing valuable data for analysis and record-keeping, including high, low, and average readings.
On-Demand Calibrator: Includes a paired calibrator for quick and easy calibration in the field, ensuring ongoing accuracy.
Fast Selection Species Settings: Enables quick selection of the appropriate wood species from a wide range of options, accommodating virtually any softwood or hardwood.
Relative Moisture Measurement Mode: Allows for relative moisture measurements in non-wood based materials and engineered wood flooring.
Temperature Stability: Readings are largely unaffected by the temperature of the wood or surrounding environment, reducing manual adjustments.
Programmable Alarm: Features an audible alarm that can be set to alert users when a user-defined high moisture content level is reached.
Hold Function: Freezes the current moisture reading on the display, useful for difficult-to-access areas.
Robust Design: Includes a flexible rubber protective boot to enhance durability and protect from impacts.
