D E L M H O R S T B D - 2 1 0 0 The operating instructions for the model BD-2100 are divided into two sections. Section A is a step-by-step guide to the different features and basic use of your moisture meter.
A hard Reset is required if, after changing the battery, the hTo scroll backward through the set-point values, press and display is frozen. This is sometimes caused by the interruption hold the scale key within one second of pressing and of contact between the battery and battery lead wire.
26-ES, refer to the correction at the end of the manual. TESTING WOOD Species – Delmhorst uses Douglas Fir, the USDA standard, as the basis for all wood calibrations. Because the electrical hSet the scale to #1 Wood characteristics of different species vary, all species read differently at the same moisture content.
Also look for visible signs of water damage. If a can be used as standard or reference points, against which problem exists, use the BD-2100 with a #21-E electrode. subsequent readings are compared. All readings should be This electrode includes the #608 insulated pins that penetrate evaluated in the light of factors such as type of paint, floor 3 1/4".
Taking a Reading Below the Surface: the green or “dry” area, the surface is dry. However, subsurface tests should be made to verify if the slab is hDrive a pair of nails into the plaster at least 1/3 of the dry throughout.
Detecting Moisture in Insulation Meter readings should be evaluated in relation to other factors — Use the BD-2100 with the #21-E Electrode and #608 knowledge of the structure, type of paint used, expected weather insulated pins to detect moisture in insulation. These pins conditions in the near future, etc.
Delmhorst Instrument Co., referred to hereafter as absorbs moisture, water will displace the air in the material. Delmhorst, guarantees its BD-2100 meter for one year from Water also transmits heat at a faster rate than air, thus date of purchase and any optional electrodes against defects reducing the efficiency of the insulation.
