until the desired material type appears on the display.

3. Scan the material by pressing the sensor

against the material to be tested. To ensure the best accuracy, press the back of the meter against a flat area of the material. The material should be at least 3/4" (19 mm) thick, which is the depth of the sensor penetration. If not, consider stacking the material to be measured. The display will show the percentage of moisture numerically

and segments of the Bar Graph

will illuminate as a visual reference of the level of moisture present in the material per the chart below. NOTE: "OL" will appear on the display if the moisture content detected lies outside the meter's measurement range.
