Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech MO257 Pinless Moisture Meter. The

pinless moisture sensor monitors the moisture in wood and other building materials without

causing surface damage. High frequency sensing technology allows the meter to take non-

invasive moisture measurements. User programmable alarms alert the user if moisture

measurements exceed alarm set-points. This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated

and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.

Operation

Pinless Moisture Measurements

1. Press the power button to turn the meter on.

2. Before first use the meter must be calibrated to a known dry area as described below.

3. To calibrate, press the MEAS button immediately after powering the meter. The

display will audibly beep and visually flash the CAL display icon. Keep the

measurement sensor at least 3 to 4” (8 to 10 cm) from any object during calibration.

4. When the calibration is complete the beeping and flashing stop. The calibration

reading must not exceed 0.5. If so, re-calibrate ensuring that hands or other objects

are kept clear of the measurement sensor.

5. The meter should be calibrated whenever it is moved from one measurement area to

another.

6. To take a measurement, hold the meter and position the sensor so that it is very near

or directly touching the surface under test. The meter can sense moisture to a depth

of 0.79 to 1.57” (20 to 40mm).

7. IMPORTANT NOTE: The position of the hand can greatly affect a reading. Do not

move or reposition the hand that holds the meter while taking measurements or when

calibrating the unit.

8. The LCD indicates a relative moisture reading in numeric digits from 0.0 to 100.0 and

with programmable alarm alerts (DRY, RISK, and WET).

9. Press the MEAS button to hold (freeze) a reading on the LCD (the HOLD icon will

appear on the LCD). The meter will hold the reading for 30 seconds before

automatically shutting the meter down.

10. The MAX and MIN display areas indicate the highest and lowest readings

encountered since the measurement session was started.

11. If the battery symbol appears or if the meter does not switch ON, replace the

batteries.

Alarm Settings

Two high alarm points can be set for Moisture measurements: A RISK Alarm (0 to 50

setting range with a default setting of 30 units) and a WET Alarm (50 to 100 setting range

with a default setting of 60 units).

Moisture Alarm Setup Procedure:

1. Press the SET button. The RISK display icon will appear flashing on the LCD

indicating that a RISK alarm can now be programmed.

2. Use the up/down buttons to select the desired RISK Alarm value.

3. Press the SET button when the desired setting is displayed.

4. The WET icon will appear flashing on the LCD indicating that the WET Alarm is ready

to be programmed.

5. Use the up/down buttons to select the desired Wet Alarm setting.

6. Press SET to complete the programming.

7. Now, if the moisture measurement is higher than the RISK setting, the meter will beep

once every two seconds and if the moisture measurement is higher than the WET

setting the meter will beep four times per second.
