Overview: The James T-M-170 Moisture Master is a handheld device designed for fast and accurate measurement of moisture content in solid materials. It is particularly useful in construction and maintenance applications.
Features and Benefits:- Direct moisture content readout without the need for charts or tables.
- Separate modes for different materials including concrete, brick, various woods, and gypsum.
- Measures moisture in most solid materials with a color-coded LED indicating moisture condition.
- User-settable alarm values for moisture levels.
- Pin mode for low-density materials and capacitive mode for high-density materials.
Applications:- Locating leaking pipes in walls and floors.
- Detecting seeping water in basements and masonry tanks.
- Checking moisture levels before applying coatings or adhesives.
- Assessing curing conditions of wood, stucco, and other construction materials.
Technical Specifications:- Size: 165mm x 62mm x 26 cm (6.5 x 2.4 x 1 in).
- Weight: 175 grams (6 oz).
- Measurement Range: 0 – 80.0% with a resolution of 0.1%.
- Battery: 4 x ‘AAA’ batteries.
- Operating Temperature Range: 0° to 50° C.
Technical Details: The device uses advanced electronic technology to measure water content through two modes: pin mode and search mode. The pin mode involves inserting two pins into the material to create a high-frequency field, while the search mode uses a capacitive sensor to sample a large volume of material. The changes in the electromagnetic field are proportional to the dielectric constant of the material, which correlates to moisture content. This technology allows for direct readout of moisture content for various materials.
