1. Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the device to high temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight to prevent damage.
2. Calibrate Regularly: Ensure the meter is properly calibrated before use for accurate readings.
3. Clean the Surface: Ensure the material’s surface is clean and free from debris for precise measurements.
4. Use Correct Mode: Select the appropriate mode (hardwood, softwood, packing, or building) based on the material being tested.
5. Prevent Impact: Handle the device carefully to avoid shocks or drops that could affect its functionality.
6. Read Instructions: Follow the manufacturer’s user guide for proper operation and maintenance.
7. Avoid Wet Surfaces: Do not use on excessively wet or submerged surfaces, as it may damage the meter.
Pinless Wood Moisture Meter for Woodworking
The LT-18 is a non-destructive induction moisture meter, specifically designed for the softwood/hardwood /packing material /building material industries.
● Built with a non-damaging pinless sensor;
● It reads to a depth of approximately 40mm into the slab;
● Wipe measured material surface dry and neat for best results;
● Audible and visual alarm when the moisture exceeds the range;
Moisture Meter Description
This non-destructive induction moisture meter is designed for hardwood, softwood, packing, and building material industries. It offers two classifications—hardwood and softwood—for accurate moisture measurements across various wood species.
The packing mode tests cardboard, carton, and paper, while the building mode measures moisture in materials like sheetrock, red brick, and cement blocks.
Key features include HOLD, Alarm Warning, Auto Power OFF (after 2 minutes), and a Calibration Function, activated by pressing the “ZERO/HOLD” button for over 2 seconds. This versatile tool ensures precise and reliable moisture testing.
