Procedure
ProScan is a capacitance-type moisture meter with patented sensor technology, using the relationship between the moisture content and the dielectric properties of the material under test. When the meter is placed on wood or other hygroscopic building material, an electro-magnetic field penetrates approximately ¾ to 1 inch into the material. The meter reading represents a biased average, with the MC nearest to the sensor having the greatest effect.
- Press the On/Hold key to turn the unit on.
- Press the Select key to enter Species mode. This will be confirmed by a red LED. The default SG is 0.46. Use the Up or Down arrow keys to select the correct SG or “reF” to select the 0-100 reference scale for non-wood materials. When the meter is set to the reference scale, the meter switches to a lower sensitivity mode which is suitable for a wide range of materials.
- Press the On/Hold key while reading to hold the current reading. The meter will beep slowly and continue to hold the reading until the On/Hold key is pressed again.
- The alarm (fast beep) will sound whenever the current reading is above the alarm setting.
