Product catalog summary

Applications & Features
The MC-160SA is a microprocessor-controlled, hand-held instrument designed for non-destructive evaluation of moisture content in wood and building materials. It is suitable for use in production and construction sites to detect water damage. The device also calculates and displays relative humidity (RH) values, which can be more meaningful in certain contexts.

Direct moisture content reading in percent water or RH%
Non-destructive testing
Auto power off
Adjustable alarm threshold with audio alert
Hold function for readings

— Instruments— Moisture Content Meter for Wood and Building Material APPLICATIONS & FEATURES The new MC-160SA is a microprocessor-controlled hand-held instrument. It‘s reliable, easy to use and provides a faster and non-destructive evaluation of the moisture content of wood and building materials. The MC-160SA can be used in production or on construction sites for the control and inspection for the detection of water damage. In many cases is the relative humidity (RH) more meaningful. For this reason, the MC-160SA includes a software extension for the calculation and display of the RH-value of the moisture content of building materials. Features: • Direct reading of moisture content in percent water or RH% • Non destructive (causing no holes in the material under test) • Auto power Off • Adjustable Alarm Threshold • Audio Alarm • Hold Function New Features! - Additional wood and building material groups - Wood group selection via density values - Multi-Language User manual. Delivered complete with following accessories: + 9 Volt battery, Carrying bag and Marketing cardboard with Euro hole hanger. + Manual in Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Norwegian, Polish, Russian and Swedish.
