Used electrodes: impact-electrode GSE91 or GSG91, reciprocating piston electrode GHE91. For measuring wood, punch in the measuring-needles across to the wood-grain, having a good contact between the needles and the wood (measuring along wood-grain deviates minimal) Select correct wood-sort (refer to Appendix A).

Fast working splitting machines can produce heat which may falsify the measuring. Preparation of core temperature measuring of log: Drive in the impact electrode, put temperature probe into the generated hole.
