Extech's MO297 pinless moisture sensor lets you measure moisture in wood and building materials reading up to 0.75" below the surface with virtually no surface damage. Its remote pin-type probe can be used for contact moisture readings in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas.
The MO297 has a large dual display screen that simultaneously displays percentage of moisture in wood or material being tested and air temperature, infrared temperature, or humidity. The non-contact IR thermometer has an 8:1 distance-to-spot ratio and a 0.95 fixed emissivity.
Quickly indicates the moisture content of materials with Pinless technology without damaging the surface
Built-in humidity/temperature probe measures relative humidity, air temperature plus grains per pound (GPP)/(g/kg), dewpoint, vapor pressure, and condensation point
Remote Pin-type probe (MO290-P) with a 3-foot cable allows for contact moisture readings
Manually store/recall up to 20 labeled readings
Programmable high/low moisture and humidity alarms
Infrared circuit to measure non-contact surface temperature; 8:1 distance to spot ratio with 0.95 fixed emissivity
