A. Product Overview

The Metrix Plus MM 2 Digital Moisture Meter is designed for quick and convenient measurement of moisture content in different materials. Instead of using one general measurement setting, the meter provides dedicated modes for wood, paper and wall, allowing the user to select the appropriate material before taking a reading.

The instrument uses an integrated 10 mm electrode sensor and displays the moisture reading on a large 1.7 inch LCD. The 3 color backlight and buzzer make it easier for the operator to interpret moisture conditions during inspection.

Additional functions include reading lock, battery level warning, buzzer indication and automatic or manual power off. 

B. Working Principle

The Metrix Plus MM 2 measures the moisture condition of a material through its integrated electrode sensor.

The basic measurement procedure is:

1. Select the appropriate mode for wood, paper or wall.

2. Place the electrode sensor in contact with the material being tested.

3. The instrument senses the electrical characteristics associated with moisture inside the material.

4. The internal electronics process the measurement according to the selected material mode.

5. The moisture value is displayed as a percentage on the LCD.

6. The color backlight and buzzer help the operator identify the measured moisture condition quickly.

Moisture affects the electrical properties of materials. By evaluating these changes, a digital moisture meter can estimate the amount of moisture present and provide an immediate reading for inspection or quality control purposes. 

C. Why Is the Metrix Plus MM 2 Moisture Meter Used?

Excess moisture can cause problems in wood, walls, paper products and stored materials. Visual inspection alone may not reliably indicate how much moisture is present.

The Metrix Plus MM 2 provides a quick numerical indication so that users can make better decisions before processing, installing, storing or accepting a material.

Common Reasons for Using the MM 2

Detect moisture in walls:
Useful for checking walls where dampness, seepage or excessive moisture is suspected.

Check wood before use:
Woodworkers and furniture manufacturers can check whether timber or wooden components contain excessive moisture before processing.

Inspect paper and packaging material:
Paper, cardboard and packaging materials can be checked before manufacturing, storage or dispatch.

Prevent moisture related damage:
Early detection can help identify conditions that may contribute to material deterioration, swelling, warping or mold development.

Improve quality control:
Manufacturers and inspectors can compare moisture readings instead of relying only on visual judgement.

Monitor drying:
Measurements can be taken repeatedly to determine whether a material is becoming progressively drier.
