AMS-7000 & 7001 wood moisture meters are portable testing instruments for measuring the moisture content of wood, concrete, gypsum and other non-wood materials. The instrument consists of a smart control chip, data acquisition device, display screen, buttons, interfaces, etc. It can measure the conductivity of materials and convert it into % moisture content.
The AMS-7000 series offers rapid moisture measurement using conductivity, displaying results on a 30 mm LCD with function indicators. Features include memory of maximum values, data‑hold, low‑battery warning, auto power‑off, and a 1 m probe cable. Models AMS-7000/7001 target wood, concrete and gypsum, while AMS-7002 adds dedicated function keys for each material type.
Technical specifications list moisture ranges from 9 % to 30 % (MMS‑7000/7001) and 6 % to 40 % for wood (MMS‑7002), with additional ranges for concrete and gypsum. The device resolves to 0.1 %, operates on a 9 V PP3 battery, and measures 180 × 72 × 32 mm. Optional RS‑232 output and programmable temperature compensation enhance versatility.
