The ME5 features a large analog display for quick reads and an optional high moisture audio warning to alert you when readings exceed thresholds. This setup helps you inspect surfaces without leaving marks or damage, making it a practical companion for fieldwork and professional inspections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual-depth moisture for smarter testing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ME5 uses dual-depth measurement to compare surface and core moisture at two depths: up to 0.4 inches (9 mm) and up to 1.25 inches (30 mm). Testing both shallow and deeper layers helps you understand moisture behavior across substrates and finishes, while reducing substrate influence when assessing coverings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-depth readings minimize guesswork across walls, floors, and finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo depth settings enable quick, non-destructive checks before repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccurate, ready-to-use technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ME5 measures wood moisture content on a 5–30% scale and offers a 0–100 comparative scale for other materials, with adjustment tables that account for wood density.
