TO CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE CORRECTION:
Navigator 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 temperature, use the п р keys from the %MC READ screen to highlight
the TEMPERATURE, T: 70ºF. Press the SELECT button to get into the
TEMPERATURE sub menu.
2. To scroll through the temperature settings, use the п р keys to scroll up or down to
a higher or lower temperature value. Temperature values will change in 5
°
F increments.
3. To change between ºC and ºF press SELECT key when the COMP TEMP is
highlighted.
4. After you have selected the appropriate temperature setting, use the ò key to highlight
DONE. This will bring you back to the %MC READ screen and you may begin taking
readings.
