buzzer whose tone rises with increasing wetness; this feature
makes it easy to detect areas of peak moisture.
The LCD displays measurements of wood's or a building
material's moisture content as %REL (relative) readings with
no accuracy specification. Despite that shortcoming, relative
readings are useful for quickly comparing the moisture levels
of materials, or the wetness of different areas of the same
material. For example, you can use the meter to locate the
source of a water leak above a ceiling by comparing readings
at various points on it. If the ceiling is level, the point that
produces the highest reading is below the source of the leak.
The MMD5NP is powered by a 9V battery included in the
blister pack.
