QUICK 1-2-3 START GUIDE
Your Bessemeter pinless meter is designed to be extremely easy and
intuitive to use. In fact, using your meter is truly as simple as 1-2-3.
1. With the meter turned off, press and release the On/
Hold button to power on your meter. After a brief display
of the model number/fi rmware revision number, your
meter will quickly go to Standard Measurement mode,
showing 0.0% on the display when held in the air.
2. Next, press the Species button, which you use to
program your meter with the specifi c gravity (SG) setting
for the wood species that you are testing. Use the species
settings table on pages 13-23 to fi nd the correct setting
for your wood (or if you cannot fi nd the setting, contact our customer
support team at [email protected]). Use the Up and Down
buttons to toggle to the correct setting. Once you have the SG setting
programmed, press the Species button
again or the On/Hold button to return
to Standard Measurement mode. For
additional details about programming
for species, refer to the Species button
section on page 7-8.
3. Take measurements by pressing
the meter down fi rmly on the face of
the wood sample, making sure the
rectangular sensor plate on the back
of the meter is completely covered
by the wood. The dimensions of the
wood sample should be at least 2.0”
(51mm) wide by 2.5” (64mm long).
