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.

(CVB). The CVB is for
calibration verification only
. NEVER calibrate your moisture meter to this
device.
