2 Pin (WME) Mode Operation (cont.)
%WME will appear in the display.Push the pins firmly onto the
surface of the material at the required point of
measurement.Read the moisture level value from the display and
note the moisture condition of the material from the color coded
LED scale.
Note: Measurements taken in wood are actual % moisture
content values, whereas readings taken in material other
than wood are % Wood Moisture Equivalent (%WME)
values - see Pin Mode Interpretation for more details.
3 Using Auxiliary Moisture Probes
The Digital Mini is supplied with an auxiliary plug-in moisture
probe and lead for taking measurements at points that cannot be
reached easily with the integral electrode pins. To use, connect
the Moisture Probe jack plug to the socket on the right side of
the instrument and push the Probe pins onto the surface at the
chosen point of measurement.
Optional Deep Wall Probes can also be used for taking readings
at depth in walls and floors. To use, drill two clearance holes of
diameter 6mm (1/4'') roughly 40mm (1 1/2'') apart to the
required depth. Connect the Deep Wall Probes to the instrument
and push the two probe rods into the clearance holes. Hold them
firmly against the base of the holes and take the reading.
The optional Protimeter Hammer Electrode can also be used to
make measurements deep into hard and softwoods.
Note: Deep Wall Probes may be used to investigate high
readings. Deep Wall Probes may be used to determine the
moisture profile through a structure by increasing the
depth of the clearance holes incrementally.
