TESTING GYPSUM
hSet the scale for #3 Gypsum (measures gypsum %MC over
the range of 0.2% - 50%).
hTo take a reading, push the contact pins
^ into the gypsum
to their full penetration, if possible.
hPress the read button
!, and read the moisture content on
the display. The meter displays the reading for 2 seconds.
The set-point buzzer will sound if the displayed reading is
above the set-point value. Also one of the LEDs on the front
panel will light up as follows:
Gypsum Scale #3
Green - 0% to 0.5% Yellow - 0.5 to 1% Red - > 1%
The LEDs are a visual aid to help quickly determine the
moisture level that each reading indicates. Readings that
activate the green light indicate a sufficiently dry moisture
level, those that activate the yellow light indicate a borderline
situation, and those that activate the red light indicate material
that is too wet for painting or wallpaper.
USING THE 0-100
REFERENCE SCALE
When taking a reading on hard materials such as concrete or
masonry, use Scale #2 to determine a qualitative reading.
Tests should be made on samples of material that are known
to be dry. Such readings can be used as standard or reference
points, against which subsequent readings are compared. All
readings should be evaluated in the light of factors such as
type of paint, type of construction, and climatic conditions.
The set-point buzzer will sound if the displayed reading is
above the set-point value. Also one of the LEDs on the front
panel will light up as follows:
0 -100 Reference Scale #2
Green - 0-85 Yellow - 85-95 Red - >95
The LEDs are a visual aid to help quickly determine the
moisture level that each reading indicates. Readings that
activate the green light indicate a sufficiently dry moisture
level, those that activate the yellow light indicate a borderline
situation, and those that activate the red light indicate
material that is too wet for most applications.
