When examining wood, make sure that measurements are carried out
in accordance with its fi bre direc on – otherwise the measured values
will be too low. The measuring direc on is correct when the wood fi bre
direc on is parallel to the indicator (see below).

REFERENCE MEASUREMENT

How to locate moist and leakage:
1. Set the Material code to 200 or CC2
2. Hold the spring electrodes or the bo om sensor to a surface you know is dry
3. The received value corresponds to a "dry material" and could be used as
reference value
4. Now it is possible to locate moist and leakage using the reference value
5. By moving the measurement springs over the surface you could quickly
locate the leakage and fi nd out about the extent of the moist damage
