wood it is best, if to pull it out, you slide something (like
a screwdriver) between the electrode and the wood. This
will prevent the needles from bending.
(b) It is also possible to beat the hammer electrode into the
wood with a normal hammer.
(c) When measuring a very thick timber you can use nails of
appropriate length and
2-3 mm. You should beat the
nails into the wood. The distance between them should be
25 mm. A line drawn between them should be per-
pendicular to the fibres in the wood Then touch the nail
heads' with the needles of the hand electrode, turn on the
moisture meter and read the result. However the
measurement done in this way is less accurate.
(d) When measuring a very dry wood:
-
do the measurements in a place where the electro-
magnetic interference is minimal (away from electric
engines, high voltage wires etc.),
-
do not move the device or it's cable during the
measurement,
-
use as thin needles as possible as they provide a better
contact with the wood.
