Pinless Moisture Meters
Manual
INTRODUCTION
With the MC-380XCA moisture-measuring instrument, EXOTEK INSTRUMENTS
has introduced a hand-held moisture-measuring unit, incorpora ng electronic
circuitry perfected over years of development and prac cal applica ons with
the latest technology.
It is easy to determine moisture content in wood and building materials with
the contact measurement procedure without destroying the material. Reli-
ability, durability and a high standard of accuracy are assured by modern digital
components built to cope with the stress of everyday use.
The se ng of wood-groups and building material groups combined with an
automa c zero-correc on, allow more accurate measurements on all European
as well as Tropical mbers, as well as on a great number of building materials.
The Unique switchable dual Scanning Depth of 10 and 100 mm makes it easy
to determine Moisture Content even in fl oors with built in Central Hea ng.
SWITCH-ON
By pressing this key once, if the device is off , the unit is switched on.
SWITCH-OFF
By pressing this key once, if the device is on, the unit is
switched off . Or:
Automa c off a er approx. 30 seconds if the value is stable.
ALARM FUNCTION
The MC-380XCA has the possibility to give an acous c
alarm in case of an user selectable alarm threshold is
reached or exceeded. This func on is most useful for
sor ng out mbers.
By pressing this key once, a L-sign is indicated on the display. During this
indica on, the key has to be pressed again. Now the actual threshold value (L6
– L30 or; L 0.6-L 3.0 or; 60-99% in RH mode) if the Building material group CC2
– b30 is selected) is indicated and the alarm func on is ac vated. In case this
key is pressed again, while the limit is indicated, the threshold value is being in-
creased by 1% moisture in the range of 6 – 30% or If the CC2 to b30 is selected
the alarm threshold is increased with 0,1%. For RH mode the step increases
by 1% when the key is pressed). A er 2 sec. the unit is ready to take measure-
ments. To turn off the alarm func on, select only a diff erent func on.
INSTALLING BATTERY
•
Open the ba ery lid on the backside of the meter.
•
Install a 9 volt L6R22.
•
Close the lid.
A low voltage is indicated with
the ba ery needs to be replaced. A new ba ery should be inserted to achieve
correct measuring results.
