Page 3: Application
1. Application Wood Moisture Meter WIP-22D is designed for quick and non damaging measurement of moisture contents in wood. The device measures the dielectric constant (SIC) of the material. The wood is penetrated by the electromagnetic field generated by the device. The Moisture Meter is equipped with knobs for setting the density and thickness of the wood. -
Page 4: Preparing The Instrument
4. Preparing the instrument a) Preparing the instrument without the change in settings In this case quickly switch the upper control to SETTINGS CHECK. The LCD will display the density and thickness set during the previous measurements (e.g. 0.56 and 42). Hold the device in the air (fig. 1), switch the upper control knob to MEASURE. The device will calibrate automatically (the display shows - - -). -
Page 5: Measurements
5. Measurements The measurements should be conducted in at least several places. These places should be as flat, smooth and clean as possible. The actual result of the measurements is the arithmetic average of all the measurements. A line drawn between the electrodes should be perpendicular to the fibres. -

Page 8: Calculating Wood Density
8. Calculating wood density Calculating the density of a wood type can be necessary when the wood type is not in the table in chapter 7 or when it is suspected that the local wood has the density considerably different from the average for this type. -
Page 9: Errors
9. Errors If the instrument can not calibrate properly it indicates the following error: -AIr - generator voltage too low - generator voltage too high In such case power off the device, check the geometry of the electrodes, clean the electrodes, make sure the device is dry and then start the calibration again (see chapter 4).
