Power Strip Brennenstuhl BN-1298680 Auto Power Off 3 min 65mm 150mm 25mm

A moisture meter for determining the moisture content of wood and various building materials such as concrete, brick, screed, plasterboard and wallpaper. The device displays results on a large LCD in percent (resolution 0.1%) and offers an acoustic signal that can be switched off. Measurement ranges: 5–50% for wood and 1.5–33% for building materials. The meter features a practical hold function for readings in hard-to-reach places, an automatic power-off approximately 3 minutes after last use, a low battery indicator, a robust ergonomic housing with a separate compartment for a 9 V monobloc battery (not included), and a protective cap. Comes in colourful display packaging.

Advantages

The moisture meter provides clear numerical readings on a large LCD with fine resolution and an optional acoustic signal. Its hold function enables stable measurements at difficult angles or positions. Automatic switch-off conserves battery life, while the low-voltage indicator alerts when the 9 V battery needs replacement. The ergonomic, durable housing and protective cap increase on-site durability and ease of handling.

Usage recommendations

For reliable readings, ensure contact points are clean and press the sensor firmly against the material. Allow the device to stabilise for a moment before recording the measurement. Replace the 9 V battery when the low-voltage indicator appears. Store the meter in its protective cap and packaging to protect the sensors during transport and storage.
