• Built-incalibrationsforhardwoodandsoftwood

In addition to the calibrations for the 16 wood groups up to now, calibrations corresponding

to the overall hardwood and softwood can be selected with the single push of a button.

• Automatictemperaturecompensation

Compensation for the temperature of the wood is automatically performed by means of a

built-in temperature sensor.

• Autopowero

 Wheninactive,theunitwillautomaticallyturnitselfoafterapproximately5minutestoavoid

draining the battery.

• Alarmsetting

Set any moisture value, and an alarm will sound if the measured moisture value is higher than

the set moisture value.

• Biasadjustment

The moisture value can be corrected corresponding to each calibration curve in the range from

–9.9% to +9.9%.

1. Features

*1Calibrationswerepreparedusingthemostrecentwoodandmeasurementtechniques.Dierentvaluesaredisplayedforthecalibrationsofthe16woodgroupclassications.

*2Uses the same calibrations as our “TURKU, MT-8S, MT-700 (production of the preceding 3 products discontinued) ” wood moisture testers. Refer to p. 20 “8. Wood

Group Number Table”.

*3Range when measured at 20°C. For temperatures below 20°C, the measurable lower limit value increases by 0.1% per 1°C.

6-1. Before Measurement

1.Theunitispoweredbysix1.5Vbatteries(AA,alkaline).Remove

the rear battery cover, place the batteries into the compartment

taking care to correctly orient the positive ( ) and negative ( )

terminals. Then attach the battery cover.

• isdisplayedwhenthebatteriesaredepleted.Replaceallsixwith

new batteries.

2. Plug the needle probe connector into the socket on the main

unit, and fasten and secure the lock ring.

3. Remove the cap on the needle probe.

4. Prepare the wood sample to be measured. Allow the sample to

equilibrate to the same temperature as the main unit.

• Errorsmay occur when thereis a largedierence in thetemperature

of the wood and the temperature of the unit. To make more accurate

measurements, allow the temperature of the wood to equilibrate with

the temperature of the unit.

2Tighten the lock ring

1Securely plug the

connector in

6. Directions

6-2.Measurement Method

1. Press the key to turn on the power. All elements of the

LCDwillbedisplayedforapproximatelythreeseconds.

Subsequently, the “Wood group or wood group number”,

“TIMES”, and “%” will be displayed.

• The display will indicate “HRD” for HARD (hardwood) or “SFT” for

SOFT (softwood).

• Ifthedisplayshowssomethingotherthanthatdescribedabove,there

may be a problem with the unit. Refer to p. 18 “7. Error Display”.

2. Select the wood group object to be measured.

A. When selecting hardwood / softwood:

Press the key to select hardwood.

Press the key to select softwood.
