FNWMT10 Pinless Moisture Meter for Wood and Building Materials

SKU 6080-FNWMT10EAN 8219671111973Brand: FNIRSIProduct type: Wall & pipe detectors,

Description

Digital moisture meter designed for quick checks on the moisture content of wood, building materials and wall surfaces. Ideal for joiners, building technicians, maintenance staff and installers, it gives immediate readings without drilling into or scoring the material. Compact and simple to use, it suits professional and hobby work alike.

The FNWMT10 is a handheld contactless moisture meter designed for quick, non-invasive checks on the moisture content of wood and building materials. The instrument is intended for building technicians, installers, maintenance staff, joiners and inspectors who need a practical tool for preliminary assessments, inspections and checks in the field without damaging the surfaces being examined.
Being able to take readings without drilling into or scoring the material is a real advantage in many working situations, such as checking finished surfaces, clad panels, furniture, flooring or walls that have already been treated. The FNWMT10 quickly gives an indication of the moisture level present, supporting decisions before laying, maintenance or machining work.
Because it measures without contact, the instrument suits repeated checks at several points, cutting inspection time and preserving the integrity of the materials.

Contactless moisture measurement

The FNWMT10 uses a detection technology that is non-invasive, so the moisture content of materials can be estimated without probes or penetrating electrodes. The reading is taken by resting the device on the surface to be examined, which makes the check quick and leaves no marks or damage.
This way of working is particularly suited to:

  • painted or treated wood

  • panels and finished surfaces

  • walls, plaster and coverings

  • porous building materials

The reading gives a useful indication for locating areas of abnormal moisture, allowing comparative checks and preliminary assessments before any more specific investigation.

Display and operating interface

The FNWMT10 has a backlit LCD display that shows the readings clearly, for good legibility even where lighting is poor. The information is presented straight away, so the operator can read the result of the measurement at a glance.
The interface is deliberately plain and designed for intuitive use, with no complex menus or involved procedures. That makes the instrument suitable both for professional use and for anyone who needs a simple tool for quick checks.

Compact design for work in the field

Its handheld format and compact size make the FNWMT10 easy to carry and always ready for use. It fits in a pocket, a tool bag or a toolbox, which makes it ideal for site visits, inspections and checks spread over several rooms.
Having no probes or protruding parts further simplifies use in tight spaces and reduces the risk of accidental damage to the instrument.

Power supply and running time

The meter is battery powered, which makes it completely self-contained and suited to work in the field. Quick start-up and low consumption allow many consecutive readings during everyday work.

Where it is used

The FNWMT10 is used in a range of technical and professional settings, among them construction, maintenance, joinery, installation and technical inspection. It is particularly suited to preliminary checks, non-destructive inspection and quick assessment of the condition of materials.
Thanks to its contactless technology and straightforward operation, the FNWMT10 is a practical instrument for checking the moisture content of materials, useful as a decision aid in inspection and maintenance work and without compromising the integrity of the surfaces examined.


Pinless moisture meter, 4 modes, for wood and masonry

The FNWMT10 is a 4-in-1 pinless moisture meter designed for non-invasive checks on softwood, hardwood, walls and masonry.
Contactless measurement allows quick, non-destructive checks on finished surfaces, with the moisture shown as a percentage, graphic status indicators and support functions such as HOLD and temperature reading.


Contactless technology

It offers a measuring depth of up to 17 mm, a measuring range up to 75% and a resolution of 0.1%, with data logging, HOLD and temperature display.
Ideal for quick inspections of finished surfaces without damaging the material.


Non-destructive moisture detection

Measuring without contact, the FNWMT10 avoids holes, marks and damage to the material, which makes it ideal for treated, painted or already installed surfaces. A practical answer for preliminary inspections and comparative checks.


4 measuring modes

It has four dedicated modes (plasterboard, masonry, softwood and hardwood), with a measuring range up to 75% and a detection depth of up to 17 mm.
Ideal for quick checks on finished surfaces without causing damage.


Moisture measurement on a wide range of materials

Thanks to its dedicated modes and non-invasive measurement, the FNWMT10 lets you check the moisture content of materials commonly used in construction and joinery, supporting inspections, preliminary checks and comparative assessments.


Automatic material selection with dedicated modes

The FNWMT10 measures moisture through four dedicated modes, optimised for softwood, hardwood, masonry and walls.
Contactless inductive technology allows quick, non-invasive checks on different materials, matching the measuring range automatically to the type of surface being examined.


Moisture detection by electromagnetic field

Thanks to its built-in electromagnetic sensor, the FNWMT10 lets you check moisture without drilling into or damaging the material.
The wide detection area helps with quick, repeatable readings, even on larger surfaces.


Moisture detection down to 17 mm deep

With a measuring depth of up to 17 mm, the FNWMT10 can find moisture below the surface without damaging the material.
The range extending to 75% allows quick assessments on different types of material.


Clear indication of the moisture status of the material

While measuring, the FNWMT10 signals the moisture level automatically through colour indicators and audible warnings.
This makes it quick to identify low, medium or high moisture conditions without having to read the individual figures.


Saved readings for later analysis

During checks the FNWMT10 lets you save the measurement data and keep it on the display with the HOLD function.
That makes inspection work easier and reduces the risk of losing relevant information.


Clear data display even in poorly lit places

The backlit colour screen of the FNWMT10 makes the data easy to read during inspections, improving visibility and reducing the risk of misreading in difficult working conditions.


Longer running time with built-in power saving

Automatic switch-off after a period of inactivity means the FNWMT10 wastes less energy and works longer, which suits extended inspections and use in the field.
