Only use the product as described and for the specified applications. If you pass the product on to anyone else, please ensure that you also pass on all the documentation with it.
Intended use
This product is designed to measure and monitor the moisture content in materials such as softwood, hardwood, plaster, and cement screed.
The product can be used to check whether the surface is ready for painting or coating. The product generates a signal tone if the moisture level exceeds a limit value.
The material moisture is calculated in % using the conductive moisture sensor 19 and internal material-dependent characteristic curves. The displayed value in % refers to the dry mass.
Example: 1 kg of material contains 500 g of water = 100 % relative material moisture.
The product may only be used as intended. Intended use includes correct use under correct ambient conditions. The operating safety is not guaranteed in the event of modifications or conversions.
■ Any other use or product modification shall be considered improper use and holds considerable safety hazards.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages due to improper use.
This product is only intended for private household use, not for commercial purposes.
This product is designed for use in dry indoor spaces only.

Measuring
text_image
D DRY WET 2i INFO:
☐ The displayed moisture level is an average value that is determined by the moisture on the outer surface and inside the material.
☐ If there is any visible surface moisture or water: Wipe the surface and allow it to dry for a few minutes before starting the measurement.
☐ Before measuring: Remove colour residues, dust etc. from the corresponding surface.
☐ The product is not suitable for measuring metal or other highly conductive materials. If metal (e.g. nails, screws, cables, pipes, etc.) is enclosed in the measuring range of the moisture sensor 19, the measured values increase considerably.
□ Maintain a minimum distance of 8 to 10 cm from other objects to avoid interference.
☐ Place the moisture sensor 19 on smooth surfaces. Rough surfaces lead to inaccurate measurement results.
☐ The measuring depth of the product is 30 mm for softwood/hardwood and 10 mm for plaster/cement screed. Depending on the density of the material, it may not be possible to measure the inner core. If the material has a thickness of less than the above mentioned measuring depth, the measured value of the moisture level may be inaccurate due to neighbouring material.
☐ The density of the measured material plays an important role in the measurement result. The measured value increases with the respective density.
☐ Before use: Put the product for at least 5 minutes in the same temperature environment with the measured object.
☐ Alarm function: When the moisture reaches the red area (8th to 12th light) on the moisture display 2 , the alarm sounds every 0.5 seconds. The alarm stops, when the 8th light goes out.
☐ During measurement: Keep the moisture sensor 19 in complete contact with the object under test. The entire moisture sensor must lie flat on the surface to be measured. If only part of the moisture sensor is in contact with the surface, incorrect values show on the display 1.
- Place the product with the moisture sensor 19 against the surface.
- The measured moisture content is shown on the display 1 and on the moisture display 2.
Hold function
i INFO: If no button is pressed for 3 minutes while the hold function is activated: The product switches off automatically.
- Lock the value during measurement: Press TEMP/HOLD 6. HOLD 18 is shown.
- Unlock the value during measurement: Press TEMP/HOLD 6.
- Temperature mode
i INFO:
☐ No moisture is measured in temperature mode.
☐ The product switches off automatically after 3 minutes without operation in temperature mode.
- Enter the temperature function:
Press TEMP/HOLD 6 for approx. 3 seconds.
| Temperature range Display | |
| < 0 °C | LO |
| >+60 °C | HI |
- Exit the temperature function:
Press TEMP/HOLD 6 for approx. 3 seconds.
MIN and MAX mode
i INFO:
☐ After measuring the material moisture, switch to this mode to display the measured minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) moisture values.
☐ Only the maximum and minimum values of the currently measured material will be retained. The values will be cleared if you switch to another mode or level, and after switching the product off and on again.
☐ If no button is pressed for 20 seconds while the MIN or MAX mode is selected: The product returns to measuring mode.
□ Display the measured maximum value and minimum value:
| MODE/MAX/MIN 5 | Description |
| Long press (3 s) | MAX |
| Short press (1 s) | MIN |
| Short press (1 s) | Back to the measuring mode |
☐ Clear all values: Long press MODE/MAX/MIN 5 for 3 seconds in MAX/MIN mode.
Backlight function
i INFO:
☐ The backlight 1 is switched on by default if the product is powered on.
☐ If there is no operation for 30 seconds: The backlight 1 switches off. The display 1 is still switched on.
