PIN-FREE MOISTURE METERS
MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
With the MC-160SA moisture-measuring instrument, EXOTEK
INSTRUMENTS has introduced a hand-held moisture-measuring unit,
incorporating electronic circuitry perfected over years of development
and practical applications with the latest technology.
It is easy to determine moisture content in wood and building materials
with the contact measurement procedure without destroying the
material. Reliability, durability and a high standard of accuracy are
assured by modern, digital and analogue components built to cope with
the stress of everyday use.
The setting of wood-groups and building material groups combined with
an automatic zero-correction, allow more accurate measurements on all
European and exotic timbers, as well as on a great number of building
materials.
SWITCH-ON
By pressing this key once, if the device is off, the unit is
switched on.
SWITCH-OFF
By pressing this key once, if the device is on, the unit is
switched off.
Or: Automatically after approx. 2 minutes.
ALARM FUNCTION
The MC-160SA has the possibility to give an acoustic alarm in case
of an user selectable alarm threshold is reached or exceeded. This
function is most useful for sorting out timbers.
By pressing this key once, the actual threshold value (L6
– L0 or; L 0.6-L .0 or; 60-99% in RH mode) if the Building
material group E1-E5 is selected) is indicated and the alarm
function is activated. To de-activate the alarm function,
the unit has to be switched off. In case this key is pressed
again, while the limit is indicated, the threshold value is being increased
by 1% moisture in the range of 6 – 0% or If the E1 to E5 is selected the
alarm threshold is increased with 0,1%. For RH mode the step increases
by 1% when the key is pressed). After 2 sec. the unit is ready to take
measurements.
INSTALLING BATTERY
• Open the battery lid on the backside of the meter.
• Install a 9 volt L6R22.
• Close the lid.
A low voltage is indicated by an arrow in left direction "←" at the left;
upper side on the display when the battery needs to be replaced. A new
battery should be inserted to achieve correct measuring results.
