Extech MO280 Pinless Moisture Meter

Extech MO280 Pinless Moisture Meter Theory of Operation:

The square sensor on the rear of the Extech MO280 sends and receives a low power electromagnetic signal through the material under test. The LCD shows the average relative moisture content (in %) of the material under test to a max. depth of 20mm. Moisture that is closer to the surface of the material under test has a greater effect on the average than moisture deeper in the material. The MO280 is an auto-calibration device; no user calibration is needed

The thickness of the sample under test must be at least 3/4” (20mm). If the sample is thinner, use a stack of samples to measure. Also, the measurement area of the sample should be larger than the MO280 sensor area which is 1.6 x 1.6” (40 x 40mm).
