CONCRETE MOISTURE ENCOUNTER X5 USER GUIDE
8
In PIN Meter mode the Concrete Moisture Encounter X5
is a resistance-type pin-meter that works on the principle
of DC resistance. When the electrode pins are pressed or
driven into the wood, the electrical resistance between the
electrodes is measured. If the wood is dry, the resistance
is high. If moisture is present in the wood the electrical
resistance between the pins changes. The higher the
moisture content the greater the reduction in resistance.
The level of resistance is accurately measured by the
instrument, which translates it into a moisture value. This
is a percentage of dry weight moisture content for wood.
International wood standards such or pre-programmed
wood species can be selected.
PIN meter mode can also be used for Drywall and WME
(Wood Moisture Equivalent) readings for many other
materials.
PIN meter mode should not be used for concrete or other
cementitious materials.
