Extech MO297 Pinless Moisture Psychrometer with IR Thermometer and Bluetooth MeterLink Review

The Extech MO290 is an 8-in-1 meter that combines a pin/pinless Moisture Psychrometer with a built-in infrared (IR) thermometer. This pinless moisture sensor allows users to measure moisture in various types of wood and building materials with virtually no surface damage. The remote pin-type probe can be used for contact moisture readings in hard-to-reach areas. The meter has an easy to read, large dual display screen with a back light feature that can be used in dimly lit areas. It simultaneously displays percentage of moisture in wood or material being tested and air temperature, IR temperature, or humidity. Pinless moisture measurements can read to a depth of 0.75-inch below the surface. The non-contact IR thermometer has an 8:1 distance to spot ratio and a 0.95 fixed emissivity. The built-in humidity and temperature probe measures relative humidity, air temperature plus grains per pound (GPP), dew point (DP), and vapor pressure. Additional features include programmable high or low moisture and humidity alarms, automatic calculation of differential temperature to determine condensation point, minimum/maximum function, data hold, and an auto power off function. Comes complete with a pin moisture probe (MO-P1), one 9-volt battery, carrying case, and user manual. Optional specialty moisture probes are available.

The Extech MO290-RK kit uses a combination of moisture meter and various probes to capture all of the ambient conditions as well as the moisture levels under baseboards, in between walls and in hard wood and plywood subfloors. It uses the included RHT10 USB Humidity and Temperature datalogger with RHT10-SW software for GPP (g/kg) calculations. The MO290-RK kit includes an MO-P1 pin probe, MO290-HP hammer probe, MO290-EP deep wall probe and an MO290-BP baseboard probe for all contact moisture readings. The kit is supplied in a rugged, hard carrying case. The kit also includes the MO290 Pinless Moisture Psychrometer and IR Thermometer that monitors moisture in wood and building materials with virtually no surface damage. It has a built in IR thermometer for non-contact temperature readings and a built-in sensor that measures Air Temperature, Relative Humidity, GPP (grains per pound), Dew Point and Vapor Pressure.

Hammer Probe for Model MO265/290/295/297 Moisture Meters includes four pins (1.6-inch/4cm pin depth)
