Operating Instructions This instrument is a conductivity moisture meter specifically designed for the timber industry. This instrument has eight calibration scales enabling the user to take accurate moisture measurements in 150 wood species. Moisture measurements can be taken using the integral pin electrodes or by using the heavy-duty moisture probe.
Connect the temperature probe into the instrument via the temp socket. Using the instrument to measure timber you can obtain the automati- cally temperature corrected (ATC) moisture value. If you need to read the current temperature of the timber press the button, then the LCD will display the temperature.
Calibration Table for Wood The calibration data in the below table is based on standard tests by oven drying commercial samples of the various wood species, between 7% and fiber saturation. Above fiber saturation point (25%-30%) readings are approximate and only generally apply to wood that has been dried and re-hydrated.
