DEDRA MC0970 Moisture Meter with Pin Electrodes for Wood and Building Materials

The DEDRA MC0970 is a professional moisture meter that uses electrical resistance to accurately measure moisture content in wood and building materials. With a wide wood moisture range of 6% to 42% and building material range of 0.2% to 2.0%, this device is essential for construction, renovation, and woodworking projects. Its integrated pin electrodes provide direct, reliable readings, while the backlit LCD ensures clear visibility in any lighting.

Advantages

The MC0970 offers high accuracy of ±1% for wood and ±0.1% for building materials, with a resolution of 0.1%. It supports 8 wood groups and 2 building material groups (cement and lime mortar) for versatile use. The auto power off function conserves battery life after 15 minutes of inactivity, and the data hold function freezes readings for easy recording. A low battery indicator alerts you when replacement is needed.
