MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
With the MC-60A moisture-measuring instrument, EXOTEK
800
INSTRUMENTS AB has introduced a hand-held moisture-measuring
700
unit, incorporating electronic circuitry perfected over years of
development and practical applications with the latest technology.
800
600
It is easy to determine moisture content in wood and building materials
with the contact measurement procedure without destroying the
600
material. Reliability, durability and a high standard of accuracy are
600
assured by modern, digital and analogue components built to cope with
800
the stress of everyday use.
The setting of wood-groups and building material groups combined with
800
an automatic zero-correction, allow more accurate measurements on all
400
European and exotic timbers, as well as on a great number of building
materials.

SWITCH-ON
600
By pressing this key once, if the device is off, the unit is switched on.
600
SWITCH-OFF
400
By pressing this key once, if the device is on, the unit is
500 switched off.
Or: Automatically after approx. 2 minutes.

ALARM FUNCTION

The MC-60A has the possibility to give an acoustic
600
alarm in case of an user selectable alarm threshold
500
is reached or exceeded. This function is most useful for sorting out
300
timbers.
By pressing this key once, the actual threshold value (L6 – L30 or L
1000
0.6-L 3.0 if the Building material group E1-E5 is selected) is indicated
200
and the alarm function is activated. To de-activate the alarm
function, the unit has to be switched off. In case this key
800
is pressed again, while the limit is indicated, the threshold
400
value is being increased by 1% moisture in the range of 6
400
– 30% or If the E1 to E5 is selected the alarm threshold is
increased with 0,1%.
300
HOLD – FUNCTION:
400
If this key is being pressed before measurement is taken, the measured
400
value is kept „frozen". Now it is possible to take measurements at places
where the values can't be read directly.The activated HOLD function is
800
indicated with a colon ":" at the left side of the display.
200
By pressing this key again, the HOLD-function is de-activated.

INSTALLING BATTERY

1000
• Open the battery lid on the backside of the meter.
700
• Install a 9 volt L6R22.
• Close the lid.
400
A low voltage is indicated by an arrow in left direction "←" at the left;
800
upper side on the display when the battery needs to be replaced. A new
400
battery should be inserted to achieve correct measuring results.
