PIN PROBE MODE
This mode is automatically activated by plugging one of
the optional Wood Electrodes into the bayonet socket
at the top of the Concrete Moisture Encounter X5. In
pin probe mode the Concrete Moisture Encounter X5
works on the principle of electrical resistance. When
the electrode pins are pressed or driven into the wood,
the electrical resistance between the electrodes is
measured and indicated on the digital display. If the
wood is dry, the resistance is very high. The higher
the moisture content, the lower the resistance. This
resistance is accurately measured by the instrument,
which translates it into percentage moisture content
for wood. The Concrete Moisture Encounter X5 gives
moisture readings from 4.5% to approximately 50%. It
should be noted that readings above 25 are indicative
only (27% is the nominal value of the fiber saturation
point).
