Frequently Asked Questions - RH250W Extech
How do I turn on the Extech RH250W?
Press the Power button located on the front panel. The device will power on and display the current moisture reading.
What materials can I measure with this meter?
The RH250W is designed for wood and building materials such as drywall, concrete, and brick. Use the appropriate mode for the material being tested.
How do I calibrate the moisture meter?
The meter is factory-calibrated. For verification, use the included calibration check or a known moisture standard. If needed, contact Extech for recalibration.
Why does the display show '0' or 'OL'?
A reading of '0' may indicate the material is dry or the pins are not making good contact. 'OL' means over range; the moisture content is above the measurement limit (99.9%). Ensure pins are fully inserted.
How do I replace the battery?
Open the battery compartment on the back, remove the old 9V battery, insert a new one observing polarity, and close the compartment securely.
Can I use the meter on live electrical wires?
No. The RH250W is not rated for live circuits. Using it on energized wires may damage the meter and pose a safety hazard.
How deep do the pins penetrate?
The built-in pins are 5 mm (0.2 in) long. For deeper measurements, you can use optional external probes (not included).
What does the bargraph indicate?
The bargraph provides a quick visual reference of moisture level, with segments lighting up as moisture increases. Use it together with the digital reading.
How do I clean the device?
Wipe the housing with a soft, dry cloth. Clean the pins with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use solvents or immerse in water.
