HYDROSENSOR TECHNOLOGY FOR MOISTURE DETECTION
The Dri-Eaz HydroSensor II Collapsible Moisture Probe detects moisture and determines the extent of water migration from its original source. Primarily used to map the presence of water in carpets and padding, this moisture probe is also designed for moisture detection in walls, ceilings, floors, insulation, attics and furniture. An LED light will blink and the transducer will beep when the nickel-plated pins detect moisture levels above 17%. The blinking and beeping become progressively faster when higher levels of moisture content are detected.
