SKIPPER 5 MOISTURE METER USER GUIDE
NOTE:
While the Shallow Depth scale reduces the influence
of any deep moisture beyond 10mm (0.4 inches), the
regular depth does not eliminate the moisture near or
on the surface. The regular depth gives readings from
the surface to a depth of up to 30mm (1 ¼ inches).
Using the Dual-Depth functionality by switching between
the appropriate ‘regular depth’ scale and shallow depth
scale, allows for a comparative of ‘surface’ versus
‘surface + core’’ moisture.
• Shallow Depth reads the surface or top 10mm only.
• ‘Regular depth’ scales read the surface and the core
up to 30mm.
• A comparative of moisture conditions both ‘surface’’
and ‘surface + core’ can be made on this basis.
