Hidden moisture in caravans, motor homes and boat hulls can cause expensive damage long before stains become visible. This capacitive handheld meter helps detect and evaluate moisture in wood, GRP and light insulation materials without damaging the surface.
For targeted checks, the device offers 10 mm and 25 mm measuring depths and displays either material moisture %u or water content %w. Material curves for wood, GRP and insulation materials support application-specific measurements, while the rEF curve enables high-resolution relative comparisons on other materials.
Detector mode makes it easier to scan larger areas for moisture accumulation, metal structures or beams using relative digit values and an adjustable alarm threshold. A 6-level WET to DRY bar graph, acoustic signal, hold function and backlight support clear, comfortable readings in typical caravan and boat inspection areas.
The device measures by means of an electric field from the rear measuring surface. The full rear surface is placed flat on the material during measurement.
Measuring mode uses stored material curves and displays readings in %u or %w. The selected material curve and measured value are shown on two displays.
Detector mode works with the rEF curve and relative digit values. The adjustable dEt SCL threshold sets the bar graph and acoustic alarm sensitivity.
Stored characteristics include wood density curves, GRP and ISO for light insulation materials. A wood species table supports selection of the correct wood curve.
The rEF characteristic allows relative measurements on materials without a stored curve by comparing a dry reference point with other measured points.
The menu includes detector mode, detector sensitivity, auto power-off, display unit, backlight, acoustic signal and auto hold settings.
Accuracy can be checked with the optional PW 25 test cube. Slope correction is available for both 10 mm and 25 mm measuring depths.
