Product Information
Full details
The Laserliner WetFinder (MPN: 082.095E) is an electronic material moisture measuring device designed for non-destructive detection and evaluation of moisture distribution in walls, floors, and ceilings. It helps users quickly identify areas with the most significant moisture damage, enabling informed repair decisions. While ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professionals like assessors or plumbers, its reliance on a universal index means readings require interpretation based on material type.

FAQs
What does the 'Universal Index' mean?
The Universal Index is a relative scale used by the device to indicate moisture levels. It allows for comparison of moisture content across different areas and materials, but does not provide a direct percentage of moisture. Users should refer to the manual for guidance on interpreting these relative values for different building materials.
Can this device measure moisture in wood?
While primarily designed for building materials like walls, floors, and ceilings, the Universal Index may provide comparative readings on wood. However, for precise wood moisture content, a dedicated wood moisture meter is recommended.
How do I know if the reading is accurate?
The WetFinder provides a non-destructive, relative measurement. Accuracy is best assessed by comparing readings from different areas. A significantly higher reading in one spot compared to surrounding areas indicates a potential moisture issue. Always ensure good contact between the device sensors and the surface.
What is the range of the Auto-Hold function?
The Auto-Hold function retains the last measured value on the display, allowing you to read it after removing the device from the surface. There is no specific range limitation for this function itself, only that it holds the most recent measurement.
How do I clean the sensor pads?
Gently wipe the sensor pads with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. Ensure the device is powered off and unplugged before cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the device in water.
What type of batteries does it use?
The device is supplied with batteries. Please refer to the product packaging or manual for the specific battery type required for replacement.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on
Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
Inconsistent or no readings
Ensure the sensor pads are in full contact with the material surface. Check for any obstructions or dirt on the sensor pads. Try measuring a known dry area to calibrate your understanding of the readings.
Readings seem unusually high or low
Refer to the user manual for guidance on interpreting readings for different material types. Note that material density can affect readings. The device provides a relative measurement; compare readings between different areas rather than focusing on absolute values.
Pros and Cons
