The Laserliner DampFinder Compact is a material humidity meter designed for builders, inspectors, and homeowners to quickly and accurately measure the moisture content in wood and construction materials, and to monitor relative air humidity. Its key benefit is providing precise, percentage-based readings for fast controls and early detection of potential issues like mold growth. A minor caveat is its reliance on specific battery types and the need to select the correct wood group for accurate wood moisture readings.

Accurate wood moisture readings depend on selecting the correct wood group (A or B) for your specific wood type and ensuring the probes make good contact with the material surface.
The Index Mode is used for comparative measurements. It helps to detect variations in moisture levels across different areas or types of materials, rather than providing a specific percentage.
It is recommended to check the device's accuracy periodically, especially before critical measurements, by using the protective cap for a reference measurement.
The device itself does not directly detect mold. However, it measures relative air humidity and material moisture, which are key indicators of conditions that promote mold growth. High readings can alert you to potential mold risks.
The device can measure moisture content in numerous construction materials. For specific material types and their corresponding readings, consult the product manual or perform comparative tests using the index mode.
The DampFinder Compact is powered by four 1.5 V LR44 batteries.
Yes, a large proportion of the housing is made from recycled material, contributing to the product's sustainable design.
Check that the LR44 batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
Ensure the probes are clean and making good contact with the material. For wood, confirm you have selected the correct wood group (A or B). Perform an accuracy check using the protective cap's reference measurement.
The device displays ambient temperature upon power-on. To measure material moisture, firmly press the probes into the material to be tested.
Replace all four LR44 batteries with new ones.
Setup: Ensure the device is powered by four LR44 batteries (1.5 V each). Insert them correctly according to the polarity markings. The device is ready for immediate use upon power-on, displaying the ambient temperature.
Compatibility: The DampFinder Compact is designed to measure the moisture content of numerous wood types (grouped as A or B) and various construction materials. It also measures relative air humidity.
Care: Keep the protective cap on when not in use to protect the measurement probes. Clean the device with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the device in water. Store the device within the specified storage temperature range (-10 °C to 50 °C) and relative humidity range (0 - 85%) to ensure longevity and accuracy.
