For best accuracy, it is important to use the temperature correction
in the meter, especially when working in extreme environments
(outside 50-90°F or 10-32°C) and environments subject to
temperature variation. Material Temperature correction is only
available when a wood material is selected.
Use: When active, press the left and right buttons to adjust the Material
Temperature down or up.

Pin Correction
Info: The Pin Correction option allows users to obtain a more accurate
reading in wood by adjusting the measurement according to the
type of pin being used: non-insulated and insulated. The factory
default of BDX meters is non-insulated pins. Insulated pins read
lower than non-insulated ones.
Non-Insulated Pins are conductive across the entire length of the
pin. The integral electrode pins mounted on top of the meter are
non-insulated. Select NON-INS when using the meter with its
integral electrode pins.
Insulated Pins are only conductive at the tips, with the rest of the
pin coated in a non-conductive material. Any reading displayed
when using these pins will reflect the moisture content of the
material at the location of the pin tips. Insulated pins are very useful
when measuring the moisture of a material at different depths and
identifying wet pockets and moisture gradients. Select INS when
using the meter with insulated pins (26-ES hammer electrode).
Use: When active, use the left and right buttons to switch between
Insulated and Non-Insulated Pin Correction.
