Model MO55W

Wireless Datalogging Dual Moisture Meter

Pin and Pinless Moisture Measurements

MO55W-en-GB_V1.1 11/18

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the MO55W Wireless Datalogging Dual Moisture Meter. Use the MO55W

to take pin-based and pinless moisture measurements on wood and other building materials.

The MO55W is compact, easy to operate, and indicates moisture levels in a variety of ways:

digitally, audibly, and with ‘moisture droplet’ icon displays (1 drop for low levels, 2 for moderate

levels, and 3 drops for high moisture levels).

Pin-based measurements are the most accurate; however, they are invasive. Pinless

measurements are also accurate, but for best results use them for dry/wet comparison testing.

The MO55W is perfect for building restoration projects and other applications where it is critical

to detect moisture in and around flooring, tiles, and carpeting.

Transmit real-time readings, data-logged readings, and alarm data to your iOS® or Android™

devices thanks to the supplied Bluetooth® Wireless Datalogging Module (DAT12) and the ExView®

W-Series application.

The free ‘app’ is available from the Apple App store and Google Play™ store.

We ship this meter fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, it will provide years of

reliable service. Please visit our website (www.extech.com) to check for the latest version of the

User Manual and for Customer Support.

Features

•Detects moisture in wood and other building materials (wall board, sheet rock, cardboard,

plaster, concrete, and mortar)

•Pinless measurements (internal moisture sensor) provide reference readings for dry/wet

comparison testing

•Pin-based moisture measurements for highest accuracy

•Easy ZERO/OFFSET calibration for pinless mode

•Beeper rate increases as moisture level increases (8 tone variations)

•‘Moisture droplet’ icons indicate low, medium and high levels of moisture

•Easy-to-use, battery operated, and compact design

•‘Display Hold’freezes reading on display

•Supplied Bluetooth® Wireless Datalogging Module (DAT12) transmits real-time moisture

readings, logged readings, and alarm data using the free iOS® or Android™ ExView® W-Series

application. The DAT12 stores over 15k readings.

•Auto Power OFF (APO) after 3 minutes to conserve battery power. There is no APO when

connected to the wireless application.

Operation

Operating Steps

1. For pin mode, carefully remove the protective cap to expose the electrode pins.

2. Switch the meter ON by long pressing the button. While powering, the meter emits

audible tones and the display switches on. If the meter does not switch on, please check the

battery (9V) in the rear compartment.

3. Short press the button to step through these operating modes:

•Wood (pin mode)

•Building Material (pin mode)

•Wood (pinless mode) icon blinking

•Building Material (pinless mode) icon blinking

4. For pin mode, push the electrode pins into the material under test.

5. For pinless mode, zero the display by holding the meter in air.

Then press the sensor firmly against a surface to begin testing.

6. Pin-based measurements are the most accurate as they make

direct contact with the test material. Pinless measurements are

also very accurate; for best results use the pinless mode to

compare dry area readings to areas of unknown moisture levels.

7. View the displayed reading and the number of moisture droplet icons . One droplet

indicates low moisture; two droplets indicates moderate moisture; three droplets indicates

high moisture. Refer to the chart on the meter and the one reproduced below.

8. In addition, listen for the audible tones, the higher the moisture the higher the beep rate;

note that there are eight tone variations indicating moisture levels.

9. Long press the power button to switch OFF the meter.

Auto Power OFF (APO)

To conserve battery energy the meter automatically switches off after a three-minute period of

inactivity. Several seconds before switching OFF, the meter beeps to alert the user. APO is

disabled while the meter is connected wirelessly to the smart device application.

Display Hold

Press the Display Hold button to freeze the displayed reading. The icon is visible on the

display when Display Hold is active. Press again to return to the normal operating mode.

Beeper ON/OFF

The beeper defaults to ON. To switch the beeper OFF, press and hold the Beeper button

until the icon disappears. Press and hold again to switch the Beeper ON. When the beeper is ON,

the audio display icon will be visible.

Pin-Mode Accuracy Test

Set the meter to Pin mode (Wood or Building materials) and then touch the electrode pins to

the contacts through the holes at the top of the cap. Expected result: Wood 17.0 to 19.0%;

Building 15.5 to 17.5%. If the reading exceeds these ranges, replace the battery and retry. If the

meter continues to read inaccurately, return the meter for service.

High and Low Alarm Limits (for use with ExView® W-Series wireless application)

ExView® W-Series application. Set the high/low alarm limits per the steps below.

1. To set the High Alarm limit, long press the and buttons until the symbol H% appears

2. Use the button to adjust the left flashing digit, then press to confirm

3. Use the button to adjust the right flashing digit, then press to confirm

4. To disable the Alarm, long press the button until dashes appear

5. Repeat the above steps to program the Low Alarm limit (L%)

Alarm limit adjustment ranges:

•Pin (Wood): 6.0 to 50.0%

•Pin (Building materials): 2.0 to 33.0%

•Pinless (Wood and Building materials): 1.0 to 99.0%

Note that an error message appears (Err) when the High Limit is set </= Low Limit value
