Moisture indicator, pinless
User guide
4. This moisture scanner reacts to metal in the same
way as on humidity. In case there is a nail, armouring
or another metal object to be found inside or near the
material to be examined close to the measuring field
(plate on back side of device) the readout value will
be too high and cannot be used.
5. The moisture scanner MC-500 is not a high-precision
measuring device. We shall not assume any liability
for potential damage resulting from incorrect use
of the device or from the fact, that the scanner has
been used as a measuring instrument. For more
accurate measurements of wood and building ma-
terial it is recommended to use Exotek Instruments
MC-160SA or MC-380XCA.
6. Handle the device carefully and use in accordance
with mentioned specifications only.

ZERO ADJUSTMENT

The scanner does automatic zero when the bottom of the
unit is held into the air and away from any material while
turning on.
1. Keep hands away from the bottom sensor.
2. Pay attention to dry hands when using the scanner.

REFERENCE MEASURING

First find a dry area on a material and use it as a refe-
rence value, moisture rating - dry.
Now you can quickly detect higher humidity or leaks
as the measured value increases, either by moving
the device over this surface, or making point to point
measurements.
