    If you have a fresh battery and the instrument still does not indicate a proper calibration, return it to DELMHORST for service. See Service for your Meter section. When the battery is removed and then reconnected, the meter displays its software version for one second and then turns itself off.

    The J-2000 can be used to test more than just wood. It will also give a relative reading on plywood, OSB, particleboard and MDF or can be fitted with a 26-ES slide hammer for specific applications.

  • Page 6: Species Code Chart

    COFI (code #48) and SPF-COFI (code #44) were developed by COFI. When comparing readings between the model RDM-2/COFI or the RDM-2S/COFI, used with type 26-E electrode with insulated pins, and the J-2000, be sure both meters are set to 2-pin electrode (insulated pins).

  • Page 7: Set Temperature

    SET TEMPERATURE The J-2000 defaults to a temperature of 70ºF. As wood temperature increases, its electrical resistance decreases and indicated moisture content rises. Lower wood temperatures result in lower indicated moisture content. A correction is necessary if the wood temperature is outside the range of 50ºF (10ºC) to 90ºF (32ºC).

  • Page 8: Set Pin Calibration

    SET PIN CALIBRATION The basic factory calibration of the J-2000 is for use with uninsulated pins – either the integral pins or with an optional external electrode, such as the #4-E. The difference in readings between insulated and uninsulated pins is small below 10% moisture content.

  • Page 9: Information About Your Readings

    INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR READINGS Readings below 6% will be displayed as a numeric value, (-##.#), and will not be added to accumulation. A reading below 6% which is due to temperature and species adjustments will be shown as a numeric value with no minus sign and this reading will be added to the accumulation.

  • Page 10: Pin Talk

    PIN TALK There are two types of contact pins - uninsulated, which were provided with your meter, and insulated. When using uninsulated pins, push them in to the wood to their full length, if possible. This will give you the highest measured reading. Insulated pins read only at the tip and can be driven to a desired depth to gather shell and core (gradient) information.
