• Modes 3-7 (Building Materials Measurement): Covers materials like cement mortar, gypsum, and brick with ranges from 0.0-22.1% by weight.

5.3測定を行う

After selecting the appropriate material mode, firmly insert the two pins into the material you wish to measure. Ensure both pins penetrate the surface adequately to get a stable reading. The moisture content will be displayed on the LCD screen.

5.4 Interpreting Readings (Color-Coded LCD)

This image illustrates the meter's intuitive 3-color backlight system. A green screen indicates low moisture, blue indicates moderate moisture, and red signifies high moisture content, providing quick visual alerts.

The LCD backlight changes color to provide a quick visual indication of moisture levels:

• 緑： 水分含有量が低い（乾燥）ことを示します。
• 青： 適度な水分含有量を示します。
• 赤： 水分含有量が多い（湿っている）ことを示します。

5.5データ保持機能

を押す 所有 button (often combined with Power) to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold and resume live measurements.

5.6 MAX/MIN Function

を押す 最大/最小 ボタンを押す view the highest (MAX) or lowest (MIN) moisture reading recorded during a measurement session. This is useful for identifying moisture spread or variations.

5.7 Temperature Measurement & Unit Switch
