Full details
This Stanley Intelli Tools Moisture Meter (UTTK5367) is designed for contractors, builders, and DIYers who need to quickly assess moisture content in building materials. Its key benefit is providing a precise digital percentage reading, allowing for informed decisions about potential water damage or drying progress. A minor caveat is its specific measurement ranges for wood and other materials. The device utilizes electrical resistance with two pins to deliver readings on an LCD screen, featuring a dual measurement bar graph for visual indication.

FAQs
How do I get an accurate reading on wood?
Ensure the pins are inserted into the wood at a consistent depth and are making good contact. Avoid testing on the very surface or on very rough, uneven wood. Readings are most accurate when the pins penetrate slightly into the material.
What is the maximum moisture level this meter can read?
For wood, the meter can read moisture levels up to 44%. For other building materials, the range is 0.2-2%.
Can this meter be used on drywall or concrete?
The meter can measure moisture in 'other building materials' within the range of 0.2-2%. For materials outside this specific range, the accuracy may be compromised. Consult the product manual for specific material compatibility.
What type of batteries does it use?
The meter uses 3 x Button Cell batteries, which are supplied with the unit.
How should I clean the moisture meter?
Wipe the device, particularly the pins, with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
What does the dual measurement bar graph indicate?
The bar graph provides a visual representation of the moisture level, complementing the precise digital percentage reading. It helps in quickly assessing whether the moisture content is low, medium, or high within the device's measurement capabilities.
Troubleshooting
No reading or erratic readings
Ensure the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Make sure the pins are making firm contact with the material surface and are clean. Avoid testing materials outside the specified moisture ranges.
Display is blank
Check if the batteries are depleted and replace them with new ones. Ensure the battery compartment cover is securely closed.
Low battery indicator is on
Replace the 3 x Button Cell batteries with fresh ones as soon as possible to ensure accurate readings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The meter is powered by 3 x Button Cell batteries, which are supplied with the unit. Ensure the batteries are correctly inserted according to the polarity markings inside the battery compartment. The device is ready for use immediately after battery installation.
Compatibility: This meter is designed to measure moisture in wood (6-44%) and other building materials (0.2-2%). It is not intended for use on liquids or for measuring moisture in organic materials outside these specified ranges.
Care: Keep the device clean and dry. After use, wipe the pins and the casing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the meter to extreme temperatures or moisture. Store it in a protective case or a dry environment when not in use.
