The Extech MO290 gives you an all-in-one way to track moisture and climate data on site, and you see the readings at a glance because the bright LCD keeps every value clear. You choose between pinless scanning or pin insertion, and you work without delay because the meter updates instantly and shows a rising tone as levels climb.
Versatile 8-in-1 Field Tool
Extech MO290 couples a fast infrared sensor with a classic contact probe; therefore you verify surface, core, and ambient values during one pass, and you avoid carrying several meters. The 8:1 optical ratio fits routine surveying, while the fixed 0.95 emissivity removes setup steps, and you reach small targets from a safe distance.
Reliable Readings in Real Time
Internal sensors track temperature, relative humidity, dew point, vapour pressure, grains-per-pound, and water activity, and they store them logically so you compare trends in moments. The rugged housing guards the Extech MO290 during daily site work, and a quick self-test confirms that every circuit still holds calibration, so you leave the office with confidence.
You stay productive because battery status and probe health are visible as soon as you switch on, and you hear the audible alert grow faster as moisture rises, so no pocket of dampness goes unnoticed. The Extech MO290 helps you finish surveys sooner, and clients gain concise reports backed by traceable data.
