How to Use the MESTEK WM700A Moisture Meter for Accurate Moisture Detection Malaysia
Introduction
Using a moisture meter correctly is essential for obtaining reliable results. The MESTEK WM700A Moisture Meter is a pinless moisture detector that allows users to check moisture levels without damaging the surface. Whether you are inspecting walls after a water leak, checking timber before installation, or assessing moisture in renovation projects, following the correct procedure will improve measurement accuracy.
Step 1: Turn On the Meter
Press the power button to switch on the WM700A. Ensure the battery has sufficient power before starting your inspection.
Step 2: Select the Appropriate Material
Choose the correct measurement mode based on the material being tested, such as:
Drywall
Wood
Concrete
Plaster
Brick
Selecting the correct material helps improve measurement accuracy.
Step 3: Place the Sensor Flat on the Surface
Position the back sensor of the WM700A firmly against the material.
Keep full contact with the surface.
Avoid gaps between the sensor and the material.
Do not tilt the meter during measurement.
Step 4: Scan Slowly
Move the moisture meter slowly across the surface.
Pay special attention to:
Corners
Windows
Door frames
Bathrooms
Kitchens
Roof areas
Around water pipes
The highest reading usually indicates the area with the most moisture.
Step 5: Compare Multiple Areas
Measure several locations to identify moisture differences.
For example:
Dry wall = Low reading
Damp wall = Medium reading
Wet area = High reading
Comparing readings helps locate hidden water damage more effectively.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
To obtain the best results:
Do not measure on metal surfaces.
Remove standing water before testing.
Avoid measuring immediately after cleaning.
Keep the sensor flat against the surface.
Test multiple points instead of relying on one reading.
