Delmhorst Instrument J-2000 - Manual (Page 7)

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). Set the temperature accordingly
and the meter will make the correction.

hThe meter will display the current temperature setting in
the new mode and will wait one more second until shutting
off so that you may change the temperature value as
described above.
If the meter is in Fahrenheit mode, the letter “F” will display
in the left-hand corner. If it is in Celsius mode, no letter will
appear in the display.
In the Fahrenheit mode, the temperature will change in
increments of 5ºF. In Celsius, the temperature will change in
increments of either 2ºC or 3ºC depending on its conversion
from Fahrenheit.
In the Fahrenheit mode, the temperature value will display in
whole numbers. In the Celsius mode, positive values will display
in whole numbers; negative values will display with a decimal
point and a “-” sign in the left-hand corner. (i.e.: -17.0)
