Species/Material Selection and Correction
Info: BDX series moisture meters are calibrated based on the USDA
standard material, Douglas Fir. Each wood species/material reads
differently at the same moisture content. Therefore, best accuracy
can be obtained by applying a correction factor to the
species/material.
The BDX-30 can save up to 12 material corrections at once.
Through the
EDGE
™ app
, users can select from a list of 36
species/material corrections. Once a species/material correction is
loaded and selected within the meter, the BDX-30 will
automatically apply a correction to each reading. The BDX-20 has
3 corrections available. To make additional species/material
corrections when using a BDX-20, set the meter to the Douglas Fir
scale and reference Table 4 in the Appendix.
Use: Select the Read menu. While the underline flashes, press the down
button to enter the species/material selection field. Press the left
or right buttons to scroll through available species/materials. Any
