Duracell brand 9V. Continued use with a low battery may cause the meter to go out of calibration. If you have a fresh battery and the instrument still does not indicate a proper calibration, return it to DELMHORST for service. See Service for your Meter section. -
Page 6: Set Species
Proper setting of each will insure the most accurate readings. SET SPECIES The J-2000 defaults to Species Code #1 - Douglas Fir - the USDA standard and basis for all Delmhorst calibrations. Because the electrical characteristics of different species vary, all species read differently at the same moisture con- tent. -
Page 7: Species Code Chart
COFI (code #48) and SPF-COFI (code #44) were developed by COFI. When comparing readings between the model RDM-2/COFI or the RDM-2S/COFI, used with type 26-E electrode with insulated pins, and the J-2000, be sure both meters are set to 2-pin electrode (insulated pins). -
Page 8: Set Temperature
SET TEMPERATURE The J-2000 defaults to a temperature of 70ºF. As wood temperature increases, its electrical resistance decreases and indicated moisture content rises. Lower wood temperatures result in lower indicated moisture content. A correction is necessary if the wood temperature is outside the range of 50ºF (10ºC) to 90ºF (32ºC). -
Page 9: Set Pin Calibration
SET PIN CALIBRATION The basic factory calibration of the J-2000 is for use with non-insulated pins. Insulated pins read lower than non-insu- lated ones. The difference is small below 10% MC but increases as the moisture content increases above 10%. -
Page 10: Information About Your Readings
INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR READINGS Readings below 6% will be displayed as a numeric value, (-##.#), but will not be added to the accumulated readings in memory. Readings below 6% due to temperature and species adjustments will be shown as a numeric value with no minus sign. -
