Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech MO250 Moisture Meter. The MO250

detects moisture in wood and other building materials such as brick, wall board, sheet

rock, cardboard, paper, plaster, concrete, and mortar. This meter is shipped fully tested

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

Features

•Designed to check the moisture level of wood, concrete, and other non-wood material

•Measures from 6% to 40% moisture in wood

•Measures 13% to 100% relative moisture for concrete and other non-wood material

•Measurements are shown on Red LED bargraph indicator and LCD digital display

•Optional external moisture sensor probe (MO252) for remote moisture measurements

•Microprocessor provides high accuracy and advanced features such as MAX / MIN

•Data Hold feature freezes displayed reading

•Heavy duty construction and compact housing enhance portability and durability

•Low battery indicator alerts user when battery needs replacing

Operation

Electrode Pins

The electrode pins are replaceable / removeable and must be inserted before the meter

can be used. To insert or replace the pins refer to the illustration and instructions below:

a) Remove the protective cap at the top 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

Basic Operation

1. Remove the protective cap to expose the electrode pins.

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

3. Press the MATERIAL key to select the material under test.

A ‘1’ will appear in the right bottom display for concrete and other non-wood

material. A ‘2’ will appear for wood. See details below:

Material 1: 13 to 100% relative moisture for concrete and other non-wood

materials; display shows a ‘1’ on the bottom right.

Material 2: 6% to 40% moisture range for wood; the display shows a ‘2’ on the

bottom right.

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.

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 or the LED bar graph (see bargraph diagram)

7. Replace the protective cap when finished.

1. Material 1 (non-wood) moisture scale 13-100%

2. Material 2 (wood) moisture scale 6-40%

3. LED bargraph reading

4. Color code for material 2 (High Moisture)

5. Color code for material 2 (Medium Moisture)

6. Color code for material 2 (Low Moisture)

7. Color code for material 1 (High Moisture

when LEDs reach darker color)

Data Hold feature

The Data Hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the HOLD key

momentarily to activate the Data Hold function. The reading will freezee and the ‘HOLD’

display icon will appear. Press the HOLD key again to exit the Data Hold function (the

HOLD display icon will switch off).

Max/Min Memory feature

The meter’s Max/Min feature allows the user to take multiple readings while storing the

highest (Max) and lowest (Min) readings.

1. Press the REC MAX/MIN key to activate the MAX/MIN recording mode. The

display icon ‘REC’ will appear. Now begin taking measurements.

2. To view the MAX reading, press the REC MAX/MIN key again. The display icon

‘MAX’ and the maximum recorded value will appear on the display. The meter will

now display and hold the maximum reading. To return back to the MAX/MIN

recording mode, press the ‘HOLD’ key. It will update only when a new ‘Max’

occurs.

3. To view the stored Min reading, press the REC MAX/MIN key again. The display

icon ‘REC MIN’ and the minimum value will appear on the display. The meter will

display and hold the minimum reading. To return back to the MAX/MIN recording

mode, press the HOLD key. It will update only when a new ‘Min’ occurs.

4. To exit MAX/MIN mode press and hold the REC MAX/MIN key for 2 seconds then

release. The display icon ‘REC’will switch off.

External Probe (optional)

An optional external probe is available (part number MO252) that allows the user to reach

into areas that would be difficult to access with the meter’s built-in electrode pins.

1. The input socket for the external probe is located at the top of the meter.

2. The plug and jack are keyed so that the plug can only fit in the jack one way.

3. Turn the plug carefully until it lines up with the jack and then firmly push the plug in

place. Do not apply undue force or try to twist the plug side-to-side.

4. The meter will continue to operate as described in this manual.

Battery Replacement

If the instrument does not switch ON or displays the low battery symbol , replace the

battery as follows:

1. Open the rear battery cover by removing the screw using a Phillips head

screwdriver

2. Replace the 9V battery

3. Put the battery cover back in place. Secure with the Phillips screw.

Maintenance

•Always keep the instrument dry

•To clean, wipe the meter with a damp cloth. Use a mild detergent if necessary

but never use abrasives or solvents.

•Prevent dirt from accumulating at the electrode pins
