7. Measurement Tips
- For best results, push the pins deep into the material. Ensure the pins are in full contact with the material (wall, wood, or hardwood).
- Avoid shaking the device while taking a reading.
- If the reading is 0, it may indicate that the material is extremely dry, acting as an insulator, and not conducting electricity.
- The pin-type meter is ideal for wood and wood-based materials as the pins penetrate to measure internal moisture accurately.
- Be aware that the pins may leave small holes in the material. If non-invasive measurement is required, consider a pinless moisture meter.
