Frequently asked questions

How do I calibrate the R6015 moisture meter?

Use the two calibrators in the cap, select scale A, disconnect the temperature probe, and touch the needle to the poles. If calibrated correctly, the meter should register %H,O values between 17.7–18.3 or 25.5–26.5.

What is the measuring range of the R6015?

The meter measures moisture content from 6% to 99.9% MC with ±1% accuracy.

Can the R6015 measure wood without a temperature probe?

Yes, but measurements need manual correction: subtract 0.5% MC per 5°C above 20°C, or add 0.5% MC per 5°C below 20°C.
