The Extech MO55 is a combination pin/pinless moisture meter that lets the user take quick moisture measurements on wood and building materials using a choice of the contact-pin method or the non-invasive pinless method. It is an easy-to-operate, compact handheld instrument that uses display icons to indicate the levels of moisture content and adds an audible alert to signal rising moisture.
The MO55 is suited to building restoration projects and applications where moisture detection on floors, tiles, and under carpets is critical. It is positioned as a tool for analyzing the after-effects of water leakage behind walls and in ceilings, giving the user two ways to locate and quantify moisture in a structure.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000-square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois.
Extech Instruments became part of FLIR Systems, Inc. in 2007, and Extech-branded test tools have been produced under FLIR ownership since then. This datasheet reflects that relationship, carrying the Extech product branding alongside the FLIR Systems copyright.
