EXTECH MO220 Portble Wood Moisture Meter

EXTECH MO220 Portble Wood Moisture Meter has been explicitly designed for the wood industry, in order to monitor the levels of moisture in wood. It can take moisture measurements directly through the integrated moisture pins or alternatively, users can measure moisture on harder materials through a remote hand-press moisture probe.

Moisture meter also comes with a temperature probe, which enables temperature measurements or materials and surrounding area and also enhances the accuracy of measurements. It does so, by adding ATC, automatic temperature compensation, so can take into account any surrounding temperatures, which may affect the accuracy of measurement taking and so will adjust readings accordingly.

Moisture meter has eight wood calibration scales stored in its memory; these scales enable users of the meter to get extremely precise readings of the levels of moisture in approximately 170 different species of wood including logs. This results in the meter being an extremely useful piece of kit to have when needing to measure the moisture levels in wood burners or wood burning stoves.

Meter’s integrated pin electrodes are replaceable should the initial pair become defective and the remote hand-press probe is included in the package, as is a protective cap, two AAA batteries and a pouch to keep the meter safe in. The MO220 meter also comes with an auto power off function, which can be set to between 1 to 9 minutes and helps to ensure long battery life. This function can, however, be disabled depending on the preferences of the user.

Moisture meter itself is housed in a double moulded casing, which helps to ensure its sturdiness and at 180 x 50 x 31 mm, it is small enough to fit inside a pocket, as well as operated with only one hand.
