MS120

Pinless Moisture Meter

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Triplett MS120 Pinless Moisture Meter. The

MS120 sensor performs non-invasive, relative moisture measurements on

wood and building materials such as wallboard, sheet rock, cardboard,

plaster, concrete, and mortar. The MS120 also offers auto power off

(APO), display lock (hold), and self-calibration features.

The MS120 is ideal for building restoration projects and applications

where moisture detection on floors and under carpets is critical. The

MS120 is also a handy tool for analyzing the effects of water leakage

behind walls and in ceilings.

Measurement Considerations

To measure moisture, the MS120 sensor emits and senses low-power

electro-magnetic signals. The displayed reading in percent is an average

of the moisture content measured over the entire sensor’s surface area

(40x40mm [1.6x1.6”]) and the maximum depth of penetration (20mm

[0.8”]). Moisture that is closer to the surface has a greater effect on the

displayed average than the moisture nearer to the maximum depth of

penetration.

Placing the sensor on asurface whose thickness is less than themaximum

depth of penetration may result in unreliable moisture readings; in these

cases, you can stack material on top of the measured surface to increase

the thickness.

The MS120 also produces audible tones and ‘moisture droplet’ display

icons to indicate moisture level. The audible tone rate and number of

droplets increase as the moisture level increases. The MS120 also

produces audible tones and ‘moisture droplet’ display icons to indicate

moisture level. The audible tone rate and number of droplets increase as

the moisture level increases.

Operation

Powering the Meter and Self-Calibration

Long press the power button to switch the meter on/off. The meter

beeps and displays ON as it powers up. If the meter does not switch on,

please check the battery. The meter emits audible tones and performs a

self-calibration upon start-up. Keep the measurement sensor at least 8 to

10 cm (3 to 4”) from hands and objects during calibration. The calibration

reading must not exceed 0.5. If so, re-calibrate ensuring that hands or

other objects are clear of the sensor. Note: Calibrate the meter whenever

moving from one measurement area to another.

Auto Power OFF

The meter will automatically power OFF if the reading stays 0% for 3

minutes. If the meter detects readings, other than 0%, it will not

automatically power OFF.

Display Hold Lock

Short press the Display Lock button to freeze the displayed

reading. The icon is visible on the display when Display Lock is

active. Press again to return to the normal operating mode.

Beeper ON/OFF

The beeper defaults to ON. To switch the beeper OFF, long press the

Display Lock/Audible Beeper

button . When the beeper is active, the audio display icon will be

visible.

Pinless Moisture Measurements

1. Short press the Material Select button ( ) to toggle the Wood

and Building Material modes. The displayed icons indicate the

selected mode.

2. Position the sensor (located on back of meter, directly behind LCD)

firmly on a flat surface so that it directly touches the measurement

area. The measurement surface area should be larger than the

sensor surface area.

3. Observe the displayed relative readings, view the displayed moisture

droplet icon(s) (more drops indicate higher moisture levels), and

listen for the audible beeping (faster beeping indicates higher

moisture; there are eight intensity levels). As discussed in the

Measurement Considerations section, the displayed reading is an

average of the moisture measured over the entire sensor surface

area to the maximum penetration depth. The section Relative

Moisture Reading Ranges, below, provides measurement and

droplet icon ranges.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the battery status icon appears empty or flashing, replace the

battery.

1. Remove the rear battery cover by pushing the compartment latch

(bottom, back of meter).

2. Replace the 9V battery observing correct polarity.

3. Replace the battery cover securely.

4. Dispose of battery responsibly and within applicable legal

regulations.

Never dispose of used batteries or rechargeable

batteries in household waste. As consumers, users

are legally required to take used batteries to

appropriate collection sites, the retail store where

the batteries were purchased, or wherever batteries

are sold.

Disposal: Do not dispose of this instrument in household waste. The

user is obligated to take end-of-life devices to a designated collection

point for the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment.

Care and Cleaning

Store the meter in an environmentally stable, dust-free

environment, out of direct sunlight. Remove the battery from the

instrument if the meter is to be stored for long periods or if

the battery power symbol appears empty (or flashing) on the

display.

To clean the meter case, wipe with a damp cloth, do not use solvents or

abrasives.
