The Protimeter TimberMaster Moisture Meter (part number BLD5675) is a hand-held moisture meter built for the timber industry. Wood that is too wet will shrink, warp, split or fail to take a finish once it dries in service, so knowing the moisture content before cutting, gluing, coating or shipping is a basic quality control step for sawmills, joinery and timber merchants.
Readings are taken with integral pin electrodes, which measure moisture content as a percentage across a pin range of 6 to 99 percent, with values over 30 percent treated as relative. The Protimeter TimberMaster Moisture Meter carries eight built-in calibration scales and ten preferred wood species set by default, and through the Protimeter Connect app the user can select from a list of 150 wood species worldwide, so the reading is corrected for the specific timber being tested. A built-in calibration check and a large LCD that stays readable in all conditions help keep results reliable on site.
The Protimeter TimberMaster Moisture Meter has Bluetooth, measures 195 x 63 x 35mm and weighs 240g, runs on two AA batteries and operates from 0 to 50 degrees C. An optional slide-hammer electrode connects to the auxiliary socket to measure sub-surface moisture to a depth of 30mm regardless of surface moisture. The pins of the Protimeter TimberMaster Moisture Meter reach a maximum depth of 10mm. The TimberMaster Basic Moisture Meter carries CE, RoHS, ETL, FCC, UKCA and R-NZ compliance and a two-year warranty on manufacturing defects. Supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised Protimeter distributor.

When to use the Protimeter TimberMaster
Quality control on timber means pin readings that are calibrated to the species in front of you, not a generic average. The TimberMaster is a hand-held pin meter built for the timber trade, with calibration scales covering 150 wood species and an optional hammer electrode for sub-surface depth.
- 1Calibrated to the actual speciesEight calibration scales covering 150 wood species mean the reading reflects the timber being tested rather than a generic wood average, which is what makes the moisture content figure trustworthy.
- 2Finds wet cores below the surfaceThe optional hammer electrode reads to 30mm depth regardless of surface moisture, so a damp core under a dry face does not slip through.
- 3Built for the yardA rugged hand-held body with a large LCD and a built-in calibration check keeps it usable and verifiable across timber-yard conditions.
- 4Faster repeat testing across mixed stockBluetooth and the app let you set a default species from the full 150-species list, which speeds testing when batches of different woods come through.
