How to Use

1. Power, Charge, and Get Set Up
Unpack the FLIR MR60, insert the built-in rechargeable battery (already installed), and top it up using the international charger supplied in the kit (100–240 V input / 5 V 1A output). Power the meter on and confirm battery status on the color graphical display. With up to 18 hours max run time per charge (about 4 work weeks of typical use), you’re ready for extended inspection sessions in the field.

2. Navigate the Color Display and Select Mode
The bright 2.3″ QVGA (320×240) 64K color TFT display shows large readings, mode icons, and material group labels. Use the keypad to switch between pin (with the MR02 external probe) and pinless scan modes. Measurement resolution is 0.1, and live updates refresh at roughly 10 Hz, so what you see is current and reliable.

3. Choose the Correct Material Group Before Testing
For wood, select Groups 1–9 (examples include oak, maple, pine, hickory, teak, sycamore; engineered woods like plywood and drywall fall under higher groups). For construction materials, choose Group 10 (brick, cement screed, concrete) or Group 11 (cement mortar, anhydrite screed, lime mortar, plaster). Correct group selection improves interpretive accuracy across the reading range.

4. Measure with the MR02 Pin Probe or Pinless Sensor
In pin mode, use the MR02 probe to read moisture in woods from 7–30% (±1.5% MC accuracy) and track higher levels (30–100% reference only). For construction groups, you’ll see 0–20% reference guidance. In pinless mode, scan surfaces up to 0.75″ (19 mm) depth with a 0–100 relative scale; response times are fast—750 ms pin, 100 ms pinless—ideal for surveying large areas quickly.

5. Save, Review, and Export Data
The MR60 includes 4 GB internal memory and can store up to 9,999 images as BMP files with measurement overlays, plus logged readings in CSV format (with date/time stamps and reading type). Connect via micro USB to download data for reports, documentation, insurance claims, or job verification. Programmable Auto Power Off (OFF/1/5/20 min) helps conserve battery during long inspections.

How to Take Care

1. Clean Sensors and MR02 Pin Probe After Use
Wipe the pin probe tips and the instrument’s contact areas with a dry, soft cloth after each job. Do not apply solvents, alcohol, or water directly to the pins or case. Keeping probe surfaces clean helps maintain accurate readings and prolongs probe life.

2. Protect the Display and Housing in the Field
The MR60 features an impact-resistant plastic housing and IP54 environmental rating, but dirt and grit can still scratch the display. Use a screen film or store it face-in within a padded pouch when traveling. Avoid throwing it loose into tool buckets with metal parts.

3. Recharge Properly and Avoid Deep Discharge
Recharge via the included power adapter or micro USB before the battery fully drains for best long-term health. Because the 3.7 V 3000 mAh Li-ion pack is integrated, good charging habits matter. If the meter will sit unused, top it up to ~50% and power it down.

4. Observe Storage Temperature and Humidity Limits
Store the MR60 in a controlled environment between -10 to 60 °C (14–140 °F) with ≤90% RH. For operation, stay within 0–50 °C (32–122 °F) and follow the humidity curve (≤90% below 30 °C; ≤75% up to 40 °C; ≤45% up to 50 °C). Staying inside these limits preserves calibration stability.

5. Inspect for Wear, Impact, and Seal Integrity
Although drop-tested to 3 m (9.8 ft), repeated abuse can compromise accuracy. Periodically check the case seams, display, and probe cable. Replace worn MR02 pins and inspect the USB port cover so the IP54 protection remains effective against dust and splashes.

Safety Tips

1. Do Not Probe Live Circuits
The MR60 measures moisture, not voltage. Never push pins into energized wiring, outlets, or electrical panels. Always verify site power is off or follow proper lockout/tagout procedures before contact.

2. Avoid Testing in Standing Water
While splash-resistant, the instrument is not waterproof. Do not immerse the probe tips or the housing. Standing water around concrete or flooring can give false readings and risk damage to the electronics.

3. Usethe  Correct Material Group to Prevent Misinterpretation
Selecting the wrong group (wood vs masonry) may produce readings that appear alarmingly high or low. Always confirm your surface type before relying on numbers for repair estimates or insurance documentation.

4. Watch Operating Temperature in Hot Sites
Job sites like roof decks or boiler rooms can exceed the 50 °C (122 °F) operating limit. Let the meter cool before continued use; extreme heat can shift readings or reduce battery life.

5. Keep Out of Reach of Untrained Users
The probe tips are sharp, and the data is professional-grade. Store the meter safely when not in use and provide quick training before handing it off to crew members to avoid damage, injury, or incorrect reporting.
