PIN TALK
There are two types of contact pins - uninsulated, which were
provided with your meter, and insulated. When using uninsulated
pins, push them in to the wood to their full length, if possible.
This will give you the highest measured reading. Insulated pins
read only at the tip and can be driven to a desired depth to
gather shell and core (gradient) information. Additional types
and lengths of both the insulated and uninsulated pins are
available for specific applications.

Moisture content values shown in
bold are only qualitative,
since they are above the fiber saturation point.
The temperature correction values shown in this chart have
been rounded for easy reference. If you desire a reading closer
to your temperature for greater accuracy we have included a
temperature correction slide rule. This will give you correction
values for your meter readings in small gradual increments.
