If the job was previously defined and used, you will be asked if you want to “Append
Data?”
Use the п р keys to answer “YES” or “NO.” If YES is selected, the meter will
retrieve the selected job’s settings (during this time a “PROCESSING…” message
appears) and then switch back to the Pin Mode screen with the restored settings.
If NO is selected, the meter returns to the Job sub menu.
TO SET TEMPERATURE CORRECTION:
MoistureCheck 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.
1. To change the temperature, use the с т keys from the CREATE JOB sub menu to
highlight the temperature, T: 70ºF.
2. Press the SELECT key to enter the COMP TEMP sub menu.
3. Using the
п р keys, scroll up or down to a higher or lower temperature value.
Temperature values will change in 5º F increments.
4. To change between C and F, press the SELECT key when the COMP TEMP is
highlighted.
