2. Locating the source of a water leak above a ceiling, by comparing the
REL readings at various points on it. If the ceiling is level, the point with
the highest REL reading is below the source of the leak.
The biggest advantage of the spherical sensor is its ability to sense moisture up
to 4 in. below or behind the surface of a material. The remote probe's pins can
also sense moisture just below the surface of some materials. However, for
hard materials like wood, measurements made by pins mostly represent
surface moisture content.
For softer materials like soil, paper or powders, the pin measurements are
more likely to reflect the average moisture level of the material between its
surface and the penetration depth of the pins (usually far less than 0.4 in.).
KEY FEATURES
• Two measurement modes: Pin (conductivity-based) and pinless (based
on the fringing field effect)
• Spherical sensor gauges moisture level up to 4 in. below a surface
• Conventional test pins at end of 46 in. remote cable
• Pin measurement accuracy of ±3% in pin measurement mode
• Displays %WME and relative readings simultaneously on two displays:
6.0 to 87.6 count jumbo LCD with 0.9 in. (23mm) digits, and 40-dot
tri-color LED bar graph
• Manual or automatic calibration checking
• Data hold (display lock or "freeze" function)
• User-programmable beeper function, backlight function and auto power
off time
• Low battery warning
• Includes two pairs of replacement test pins
• Spare pins storage compartment
WHAT'S IN THE CASE
The MMD950 comes in a custom molded plastic case along with a remote
pin-type probe and cable, a 9V battery, two pairs of replacement pins and this
user's manual. An optional deep wall moisture probe (General P/N MP905) is
available.
