Performing measurements

Measurements in wood
1. Lightly press the measuring needles into the wood you
would like to measure (approximately 1 mm).
2. The measurement is conducted automatically and the mea-
sured value can be read from the display.
The measured value resets to zero as soon as you remove the
measuring needles.
Select the associated material characteristic depending on the
wood type to be measured.
Attention: the characteristics have been designed for untre-
ated wood. Measurements in treated wood result in deviating
measurement results.
Measurements in plaster and brickwork
1. Lightly press the measuring needles into the material you
would like to measure (approximately 1 mm).
2. The measurement is conducted automatically and the mea-
sured value can be read from the display.
3. Measuring various different areas of a substrate helps to
expose moist areas. The depth measuring sensor may be
helpful here as it also penetrates insulation layers. Mea-
surements taken at different times can ascertain whether
the level of moisture has increased or decreased and this
helps to identify the cause of the issue.
