Just finished an Inspection,
damn mositure meter playing up, sensor goes beserk, does not seem to pick up lower levels of detection. On search mode CF REL> Comes up.
Anyone else had errors with this type of meter?
Any input gratefully recieved,… its like loosing a limb being without it
I had similar problems once before…changed out battery…and good to go.
If it’s not the battery, GE will recondition it for around $100.00
Good luck!
Did you use the calibration tool that was provided with the meter?
Yes on the calibration it was OK, measure mode operated. Although it had a new battery I changed it, seemed to do the trick.
The fault was on search mode. In the manual certain conditions that come up “flashing” need attention/ contact with supplier.
I was thinking allthough HI tools are fairly basic if they go wrong it probably is not a quick fix.
Just reminded myself to get back up tools in.
Thanks for input
You should also verify the meter is working by placing a wet rag under a piece of 1/2" wood. They are not foolproof and it is possible to get erroneous readings if there is metal under the area being tested.
