How does the moisture meter work? - Measuring Tools & Sensors

Sure, I'd be happy to help you recalibrate your Super Pro moisture meter. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Find a reference sample: You will need a sample of maize that has a known moisture content that is different from the current reading on your moisture meter. You can either purchase a certified reference sample or make your own by drying a sample of maize in an oven or using a moisture analyzer.
2. Adjust the calibration: Turn on your Super Pro moisture meter and press the "calibrate" button. Using the reference sample, adjust the calibration of the moisture meter by adding or subtracting the required percentage points to match the known moisture content of the reference sample. For example, if the reference sample has a moisture content of 14% and your moisture meter is reading 16%, you will need to subtract 2% from the calibration.
3. Verify the calibration: After adjusting the calibration, test the moisture meter again using the reference sample to verify that the readings match the known moisture content. If the readings do not match, adjust the calibration again until you get an accurate reading.
4. Document the calibration: Once you have verified the calibration, document the adjustments you made and the reference sample used for future reference.

It's important to note that different types of maize can have different calibration requirements, so it's a good idea to recalibrate your moisture meter regularly and for different types of maize samples. You can also refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific calibration procedures for your Super Pro moisture meter.

Most moisture meters measure the moisture content of wood or concrete is measured in percentages. So if the reading says 15 that means that there is a content of 15% moisture in the concrete.

There are a few moisture meters that you can find that will measure both wood and concrete moisture levels like this one.

Turn on the meter by pressing the large button below the LCD screen; this is the single button below the 3 buttons. To change modes, press and hold this button for 3 seconds or more. The Setting mode symbol will begin to flicker. Press the power button again to toggle through the available modes. When you have the mode set, wait until the symbol stops flickering to take a measurement.

In the wood mode, just press the probes into the wood to get the moisture reading. The unit will turn off after 1 minute. If you want a deep moisture measurement, put a pair of screws (shorter than the width of the board) into the wood at the same distance apart as the probes. Then press the probes to the screw heads.

I hope this helps.

read a manual (couple pages) - very easy to use

It starts from $50 and can go up to $1000. personally I wouldn't buy the cheapest one, but will go for the 300-400

I had this trouble after 3 or four rainy days..i believe that it is moisture detected in your strips. a pinch of rice in the plastic vial will absorb the water-worked for mine.

The problem is that the unit is not initiating the defrost cycle. This can be caused by a bad defrost heater. This can be tested with an ohm meter to see if it has continuity. It can also be caused by a bad temperature sensor, this can also be tested by an ohm meter. (it should change resistance based on temperature) It can also be caused by the defrost timer failing (this is a microcontroller board in newer units)
