Extech MO55 – Moisture Meter

The MO55 is a versatile moisture meter that combines pin and pinless measurement methods. It allows you to quickly take moisture readings on wood and building materials, offering the choice between pin or non-invasive (pinless) methods. The device is easy to operate, with display icons that indicate the levels of moisture content, and an audible alert feature that becomes more rapid as the moisture level increases.

This moisture meter is an essential tool for building restoration projects and applications where detecting moisture on floors, tiles, and under carpets is critical. It is particularly useful for analyzing the after-effects of water leakage behind walls and in ceilings.

The MO55 comes complete with two pins, a protective cap, and a 9V battery. It can measure moisture levels in a variety of materials, including wood, wall board, sheet rock, cardboard, concrete, plaster, and mortar.

The Moisture Icons on the display provide a visual reference for low, medium, and high levels of moisture, making it easier to interpret the readings. The Audible Alert Tone feature is particularly useful, as it beeps faster as the moisture level increases, alerting the user to changes in moisture content.

One of the standout features of the MO55 is its Pinless Measurement Mode, which can read moisture up to 1 inch below the surface without the need for invasive pin insertion. This makes it ideal for taking measurements in sensitive areas or on delicate surfaces.

Another useful feature is the Data Hold Function, which freezes the readings on the display, allowing the user to easily record or reference the moisture level at a specific location.

Overall, the MO55 is a versatile and user-friendly moisture meter that is well-suited for a wide range of building restoration and moisture detection applications. Its combination of pin and pinless measurement capabilities, along with its intuitive display and audible alert features, make it a valuable tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
