Summary

Safety Considerations

WME Pin Safety Precautions

Caution regarding sharp WME pins and protective cap usage.

Unit Calibration and Accuracy Validity

Calibration is valid for one year; recalibration is required thereafter.

Proper Instrument Usage Guidelines

Operate within parameters; readings are for judgment, not definitive.

Pin (WME) Mode Operation

Principle of Pin Moisture Measurement

Uses electrical conductance to measure material moisture between two electrodes.

Checking WME Mode and Taking Readings

How to verify WME mode and perform measurements using the instrument's pins.

Interpreting WME Measurement Values

Notes on actual %mc versus %WME values for wood and other materials.

Using Auxiliary Probes in Pin Mode

Heavy Duty Probe Connection and Use

Connect and utilize the Heavy Duty Moisture Probe for hard-to-reach measurement points.

Deep Wall Probes Installation and Measurement

Drill clearance holes and insert probes for deep moisture readings in walls and floors.

Pin Mode Measurement Interpretation

Contact Area and Moisture Value Types

Readings precise to contact area; %mc for wood, %WME for other materials.

Instrument Calibration Verification

Calcheck Device for Calibration Check

Use Calcheck to verify Measure mode calibration; target reading 18.2 ±1.0.

Search Mode (REL) Operation

Search Mode Functionality and Application

Detects moisture up to 19mm deep; ideal for rapid surveys of walls and floors.

Alternative Use and Surface Contact

Use as alternative to Measure mode; ensure flat surface contact with material.

Reference Mode Functionality

Activating Reference Mode Measurement

Press and hold button for 2 seconds to store a reference reading.

Operating the Surveymaster

Powering On the Unit

Press the ON/OFF button to activate the instrument.

Switching Between Measurement Modes

Use the mode button to toggle between WME (Pin) and REL (Search) modes.

Understanding Measurement Display Indicators

Numeric measurement and color LED (DRY, AT RISK, WET) indicate moisture condition.

Reference Mode Measurement Procedure

Take a reference measurement, then press button for 2 sec to enter Reference Mode.

Accessing Device Settings Mode

Press/hold mode button, then ON/OFF until version number appears to enter Settings.

Configuring DRY, AT RISK, WET Display

Set ON/OFF for moisture condition indicators on the display screen.

Configuring Buzzer ON/OFF

Enable or disable the audible buzzer for key tones and measurement indications.

Configuring Backlight ON/OFF

Enable or disable the display backlight for improved visibility.

Setting Auto Off Time

Set automatic shutdown time (1-6 min) or disable auto-off feature.

Battery Low Level Indicator

A symbol appears on screen indicating low battery requiring replacement.

Freezing Measurement Readings

Press ON/OFF button during measurement to freeze and hold the displayed reading.

Battery Replacement Procedure

Battery Life and Low Battery Indicator

550mAh battery lasts over 20 hours; low battery indicator signals replacement needed.

Accessing the Battery Compartment

Remove screw, slide lid downwards to access and replace the battery.

Technical Specifications

Operating Conditions and Humidity

Temperature range 0-50°C; Humidity 0-90% RH non-condensing.

Moisture Measurement Specifications

Pin probe range 7.9-99% (%MC wood/%WME); non-invasive up to 3/4" deep.

Physical Specifications

Device Power, Size, and Weight

Powered by 9V battery; dimensions 19x6.5x5cm; weight ~240g.
