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. For this reason you need to adjust for species. If you are
working with a species other than Douglas Fir, set the species
code using the species key
#, and the meter will make the
necessary corrections.
hTo change species press the species key
#. The meter will
display the current species code for one second. Refer to
the Species Code Chart on page 5. Call our customer ser-
vice team at 877-DELMHORST (335-6467) or e-mail
info@delmhorst.com for assistance with any species or
wood-based material that is not included in the chart. It is
always helpful if you have the scientific name as well as
any common names for the species.

When the battery is removed and then reconnected, the
meter displays its software version for one second and then
turns itself off. After replacing the battery, you must reset
the meter as described in Resetting the Meter section.
A hard Reset is required if, after changing the battery, the
display is frozen. This is sometimes caused by the interrup-
tion of contact between the battery and battery lead wire.
Resolve this as follows: Disconnect the battery. Press and
hold the Read key for 15 seconds. Release the Read key.
Press and hold the Check key for 15 seconds. Release the
Check key. Connect a fresh battery to the lead wire in a sin-
gle action, making sure to align the poles properly and
without interrupting contact. If the display remains frozen,
repeat the procedure. If this procedure does not solve the
problem, refer to the Service for Your Meter section.
