The ME5 features a large analog display that shows moisture content readings. The top scale indicates Wood %MC (Moisture Content) from 5-30%, while the bottom scale provides a 0-100 comparative reading for other materials.

Selecting Material Mode and Depth

The ME5 allows you to select different material modes and measurement depths:

• Wood - Timber: Measures wood moisture content percentage (5-30 %).
• Shallow Depth: Penetrates up to 0.4 inches (9 mm) for surface readings.
• Drywall - Roofing: Comparative scale for these materials.
• Plaster - Tile: Comparative scale for these materials.
• Mauerwerk: Comparative scale for masonry materials.

Use the mode selection buttons on the device to cycle through the material types and depth settings. The selected mode will be indicated by an illuminated LED.
