Instructions 

 
 

TO OPERATE,

 press and release the ON button. Take readings by pressing the bottom of the meter to 

the wood surface. The meter will automatically shut off after 60 seconds of inactivity. 
 

Read the % MC on the panel meter (Figure1). If the wood is Douglas fir, the scale reading 
indicates the % MC in the wood.  
 
If the wood is not Douglas fir, you must make a species correction. 

 

SPECIES ADJUSTMENT TABLES 

are provided in this manual. When measuring a species other than 

Douglas fir, use the tables to locate your species and the corresponding meter reading. 

 

Example: 
Your meter reading is 13% (Figure1). Your species is Basswood, 
American. Locate your species in the tables provided. Find the species in 
the appropriate row. 
Find the meter reading in the appropriate column. Where row and column 
intersect is the actual reading for Basswood, American—16.5%.

 

 
THE LOW-BATTERY

 light will come on when the battery needs replacing. Replace with either four 

AA alkaline or NiCad rechargeable batteries, ensuring the battery polarity is correct. 
 

CALIBRATION

 is factory set. Factory calibration can be verified using a calibration verification block 

(CVB). The CVB is for 

calibration verification only

. NEVER calibrate your moisture meter to this 

device.
