1. Application
Wood Moisture Meter WIP-22D is designed for quick and non damaging measurement
of moisture contents in wood. The device measures the dielectric constant (SIC) of the
material. The wood is penetrated by the electromagnetic field generated by the device.
The Moisture Meter is equipped with knobs for setting the density and thickness of the
wood. It can be used to measure wood planks 10 mm to
60 mm thick and of density within the range of 0.3 to 1.1 g/cm³. The measuring range is
4% to 60% of moisture contents.

3. Description of the controls
There are
two control knobs
on the front panel:
upper
– to select the operating function,
OFF – power off.
DENSITY – setting the density with the lower knob.
THICKNESS – setting the thickness with the lower knob.
SETTINGS CHECK – alternately displaying the previously set density and thickness.
MEASURE – automatic calibration (approx. 4 sec.) and measurement.
lower
–to set the density and thickness of the wood. This knob is active when the
upper knob is set to DENSITY or THICKNESS.
