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.
Section B contains information on how the meter is used for
testing different materials.

Please read the instructions carefully. If you require additional
information, please contact Delmhorst for assistance.

SECTION A
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

KEY FUNCTIONS

!

Read Key

- This key reads the Percent Moisture Content

or relative moisture value in the material under test.

@

Calibration Check Key

- This key, (when pressed with the

read key) checks the meter calibration. It also displays
the number of readings in memory (up to 100), the
average, and the highest stored reading. It also clears
the memory.

#

Scale Key

- This key sets the display scale to #1 (Wood),

#2 (0-100 Reference scale), and #3 (Gypsum). It also
acts as a scroll key, depending on the function.

$

Set-Point Key

- This key programs the set-point value. A

buzzer will alert you if the meter reads higher than the
selected value. It also acts as a scroll key, depending on
the function.

simultaneously. Meter is in calibration if it displays 12%
(+/- 0.2). Make sure the pins are not in contact with anything
when checking the calibration.

If you check the calibration and the meter does not display 12%,
it is likely an indication of a low battery. If this occurs, replace
the battery with a new one immediately. Continued use with a
low battery may cause the meter to go out of calibration. If you
have a fresh battery and the instrument still does not indicate a
correct calibration, return it to DELMHORST for service. See

Service for Your Meter

section.

Note:
When the battery is removed and then reconnected, the
meter displays its software version for one second and then
turns itself off. After replacing the battery, you must reset
the meter as described in

Resetting the Mete
