Operating Instructions
INSTRUMENT OPERATION
7000 Moisture Meter - Connect a probe
via the BNC socket located at the top of the
instrument and switch the instrument on.
7250 Moisture Meter - Remove the black
protective cap on the top of the instrument,
taking care of the moisture meter pins.
Press the pins on the moisture meter or
probe firmly to the surface to be measured.
A moisture reading will then be displayed on
the screen and the LED's within the keypad
will illuminate to indicate the moisture
measurement. The LED displays three colours
green - OK, amber - WARNING and red -
DAMP .
MODE - The instrument incorporates five
different measurement scales. Press the
MODE button to cycle through the different
scales of measurement which are listed in
the table below.
Linear/Reference is a general scale of
moisture measurement used for all materials
and is listed to cover materials which are not
covered by the scales 1 - 4. This scale can
also be used to compare the material under
test to a known dry sample.
Readings above the fibre saturation point of
the material are only approximations. The
saturation point for different species of wood
is typically in the range of 25 to 30 %.
