Introduction Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most accurate moisture measurement instruments for wood in the world. Using patented electromagnetic wave technology, hand-held moisture meters from Wagner Meters have been proven by universities and institutes worldwide to provide superior measurement results.
Operational Instructions — MMI 1100 On/Off Button: When the meter is Off, momentarily pressing and releasing this button will cause the meter to turn On, and briefly display the firmware version, then enter Measurement mode. When the meter is in Measurement mode, and the On/Off button is momentarily pressed and released, it will enter Hold mode to allow the user to “freeze” the moisture content reading. Hold mode is selected when the symbol (÷) appears in the left corner of the display.
Mode Button: The Mode Button changes the operation mode. If the meter has been turned Off, the mode always defaults to Mode 1 after turning power back On. View/Change MODES Overview: When the meter is turned On, pressing the Mode button will cause the current mode to be displayed on the screen. Momentarily pressing the Mode button again will increment the operating mode selection value. The mode increments until it reaches 7 and then wraps back to 1.
Mode 3 = Review Mode A sample Review mode screen is depicted in Figure 3. Figure 3 When Review mode is first selected, the memory location of the most recently viewed MC reading is displayed momentarily (see Figure 2, previous page). The MC reading in that memory location will then be displayed momentarily. If you miss the displayed MC reading for that memory location, press the On/Off button again, to return to Review mode.
If there is no stored low reading, the display will indicate: Mode 5 = View High Reading. Figure 5 Selecting Mode 5 will cause the display to show “HI” (see Figure 5) momentarily followed by the highest reading stored in memory. After momentarily showing the highest reading, the display will revert back to showing the Mode 5 screen. If you miss the displayed high reading, press the On/Off button again, to return to View High Reading mode.
Mode 7 = Erase Data Figure 7a When the Erase Data mode is selected, it will first indicate how many memory locations are currently used. The Erase Data mode can then be used to erase all of the stored MC readings. The display will first show the Erase screen as shown in Figure 7a. The Erase screen shows how many stored readings are about to be erased.
Taking Measurements Continued… Additional meter corrections may be necessary if you are measuring Raft Wood (salt water permeated), or lumber treated with CCA, ACQ or any other treatment with metallic or other components that might bias the moisture readings.4 MMI 1100 Features Auto-Shutdown: The meter will automatically shutdown in 60 seconds when the meter’s moisture content reading has not changed by more than 2%, and none of the meter buttons have been pressed.
