Dual Moisture Meter Pro

Pin / Pinless Moisture Meter with remote probe

Model MO265

MO265-EU-EN-V1.0-10/10

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech MO265 Moisture Meter. The MO265

detects moisture in wood and other materials such as particle board, carpeting, and

ceiling/bathroom tiles using the non-invasive method (pinless); the MO265 also measures

moisture in sheet rock and other building materials using the pin method. The remote

probe can also be used to make pin measurements. This meter is shipped fully tested

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

Features

•%WME (wood moisture equivalent) pin moisture reading

•Relative (REL) pinless moisture reading for non-invasive measurement

•Remote probe measurements

•Digital LCD readout with backlighting feature and tri-color LED bargraph

•Quickly indicates the moisture content of materials

•Pinless measurement depth to 0.75" (22mm) below the surface

•Electro-magnetic sensing technology for pinless operation

•Built-in calibration check and calibration zero

•Replaceable measurement electrode pins

•Low battery indication

•Cap protects pins during storage

•Cap can be snapped onto the side of the housing during use

•Complete with 9V battery, replacement pins, protective cap, and pouch case

Bargraph Display Description

The bargraph indicates WET / DRY measurements using three LED colors: Green

(for dry), Amber (for moderate moisture), and Red (for very moist). As the reading

moves up the bargraph scale from the DRY indicator to the WET indicator, the LED

color changes from green, to amber, and then to red.

Operation

Electrode Pins

The electrode pins are replaceable. To insert or replace the pins refer to the illustration

and instructions below. Replacement pins are stored in the battery compartment at the

rear of the meter.

a) Remove the protective cap at the top of the meter by pushing it toward the back

of the meter.

b) To remove the pins, loosen the locknut at the base of the electrode pins

c) Install the new pins and tighten the locknuts

d) Replace the protective cap

1. Electrode pins

2. Locking nuts

3. Threaded posts

4. Electrode jacks at top of meter

Pin Measurements

1. Remove the protective cap to expose the electrode pins. The cap snaps off easily if

it is pushed towards the rear of the meter. The cap can be affixed to the side of the

meter using the protective cap holders (6).

2. Press the key to turn the meter ON / OFF.

3. Press the MODE key to select the Wood Moisture Equivalent (%WME) mode of

operation.

4. Carefully push the electrode pins a minimum of 0.07” (2mm) into the material under

test. Note that the pins should be inserted into wood perpendicular to the wood’s

fiber structure. For high moisture readings, it may take several minutes for the

meter reading to stabilize.

5. Take several readings in several locations on the material for the best

representation of the amount of moisture present.

6. Read the measurement values on the LCD digital display and the LED bar graph

7. Replace the protective cap when finished.

CAUTION

: The electrode measurement pins are extremely sharp. Use care when

handling this instrument. Cover the pins with the protective cap when the

instrument is not in use.

Pinless Measurements

1. Ensure that the protective cap is attached to the meter

covering the pins.

2. Press the key to turn the meter ON.

3. Press the MODE key to select the Relative (REL) mode of

operation.

4. The pinless moisture detector is located at the rear of the

instrument, just behind the display. Place the meter so that

the sensor is touching the surface of the material under test.

5. Take several readings in several locations on the material

for the best representation of the amount of moisture present.

6. Read the measurement values on the LCD digital display and the LED bar graph.

Remote Probe Pin Measurements

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Remote Probe cannot be used at the same time as the meter

probe. Please use one probe or the other but not both at the same time.

1. Connect the Remote Probe to the right side of the meter using the RJ-11 plug at

the end of the Remote Probe cable.

2. Remove the protective cap from the remote probe to expose the electrode pins.

The cap snaps off easily if it is pushed long-wise to the side.

3. Press the key to turn the meter ON / OFF.

4. Press the MODE key to select the Wood Moisture Equivalent (%WME) mode of

operation.

5. Carefully push the electrode pins a minimum of 0.07” (2mm) into the material under

test. Note that the pins should be inserted into wood perpendicular to the wood’s

fiber structure. For high moisture readings, it may take several minutes for the

meter reading to stabilize.

6. Take several readings in several locations on the material for the best

representation of the amount of moisture present.

7. Read the measurement values on the LCD digital display and the LED bar graph

8. Replace the protective cap and disconnect the remote probe when finished.

Calibration Zero for Pinless Mode

1. Switch the meter to the Pinless mode of operation (REL mode).

2. Ensure that the meter is not near any objects or surfaces. Hold the meter near the

bottom to avoid contact with the pinless sensor.

3. Press and Hold the MODE button for 3 seconds until rEL appears in the display.

Release the MODE button and the display will blink for several seconds and then

switch back to the normal display mode.

4. The display should now read zero indicating that the calibration is complete.

5. If an E32 error is displayed, try the zero calibration again with the pins further away

from any objects or surfaces.

Calibration Check for Pin Mode

1. Switch the meter to the Pin mode (%WME).

2. The two calibration check points are located in the holes at the top of the protective

cap.

3. Insert the electrode pins into the two holes at the top of the protective cap to make

contact with the test circuit.

4. The display should read between 17.5 to 18.5 %WME, indicating that the

calibration is verified.
