SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL BATTERY
Open the battery compartment at the bottom of the meter
(Fig. 1, Callout J) by placing a fingernail in the slot on the right
side of the housing where it meets the compartment door. Push
the tab on the door gently to the left until it pops open. Remove
the "9V" battery from the packaging and slide it into the
compartment "terminals-first", with the anode (+ terminal) on
the right, as indicated by the markings inside the compartment.
Swing the door back toward its closed position until it snaps
shut.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To power on the meter, press and hold the
Callout E) for at least three seconds. (To power off the meter,
follow the same instruction.)
To measure the moisture level of wood or a building material,
power on the meter and remove the pin cover (Fig. 1, Callout A)
by squeezing it gently to pop it off. The LCD will display the word
WOOD (Fig. 2, Callout B) and the pin-mode icon (Callout C) at its
right. Remove the black rubber insulating sleeves from the pins.
To measure wood, carefully press the test pins into the sample.
Its absolute moisture level will be displayed as a percentage,
with the unit %WME (Fig. 2, Callouts A and G). Simultaneously,
the bar graph LEDs will illuminate to mirror the digital reading.
To measure a building material, press the MODE button to
change the indication on the top line of the LCD from WOOD to
BLDG (Fig. 2, Callout D). As with wood, carefully press the test
pins into the sample. Its absolute moisture level will be displayed
as a percentage, with the unit %WME. Again, one or more bar
graph LEDs will illuminate to mirror the digital reading.
In wood measurement mode, the available moisture level range
is 5% to 50%. When the level is below 5%, the LCD will show
__ __ __. When it is above 50%, the LCD will show ￣ ￣ ￣.
In building material measurement mode, the available moisture
level range is 1.5% to 33%. When the level is below 1.5%, the
LCD will show __ __ __. When it is above 33%, the LCD will
show ￣ ￣ ￣ .
