3. Introduction

Thank you for selecting the FLIR MR160 Imaging Moisture Meter. The MR160 integrates high

quality thermal imaging technology with the best in class moisture detection and measurement.

The MR160 includes an integrated non-invasive pinless moisture sensor, and an external pin

moisture probe (MR02).

Featuring Infrared Guided Measurement (IGMTM) technology, the MR160 helps to quickly scan and

target moisture issues; visually guiding the user to the spot where measurements can be

confidently made and where readings can be easily analyzed. The MR160 can save measurements

and images for later transfer to a PC; reports can be generated with FLIR Tools PC software. Please

see www.flir.com/test for additional accessories available for this device. This device is shipped

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

5. Operation

Important Note: Please charge the meter’s battery before first use. Instructions for battery

charging are provided in Section 6.2.

5.1 Powering the Meter

1. Press the Power button momentarily to switch the meter ON.

2. Press and hold the Power button for > 1 second to switch the meter OFF.

3. If the battery status indicator shows that the battery voltage is low, or if the meter does not

power on, charge the battery. See section 6.2 Battery Charging. The battery status indicator

is visible in the Main Menu (press the center Select button to access the Main Menu).

4. Please fully charge the battery before use.

5.1.1 Auto Power OFF (APO)

The meter switches OFF automatically after a programmed period of inactivity. Press any

button to reset the APO timer. To disable APO, or to change the APO time-out value, use the

Settings mode, accessible from the Main Menu. The default time-out is 20 minutes.

5.2 Moisture Measurements

5.2.1 Moisture Measurement Overview

Moisture measurements can be performed using either the internal pinless moisture sensor

(rear) or by connecting an external probe. A standard external pin probe is included which

connects to the MR160 via the jack at the bottom of the meter. Other external probes are

available; please visit www.flir.com/test for details.

NOTE: Objects near the internal pinless moisture sensor (located on the rear of the unit) will

affect the reading on the display; Keep hands and fingers clear of the sensor when taking

measurements.

The internal moisture sensor detects moisture to a depth of approximately 19mm (0.75”). The

actual depth will vary depending upon the amount of moisture, the material under test, surface

roughness, and other factors.

Moisture readings are shown on the display (digitally and with bar graph) in the Moisture-only

mode or in small digits (upper left-hand corner) in the IR + IGM Moisture mode. See Fig. 5-1.

Pinless measurement readings are ‘relative’scaled (0~100). Pin-based readings are represented

in terms of %MC (moisture content) for wood and %WME (wood moisture equivalent) for non-

wood materials; additional information is provided in Section 5.2.6 External Pin Probe Moisture

Measurements and in the specifications.

Moisture measurements are covered in detail in the following sections. Be sure to select Pin

Mode or Pinless Mode in the Moisture Menu to match the measurement type.
