Factors Affecting Moisture Readings
The readings of all moisture meters are influenced by
the characteristics of different species of wood as well
as temperature and other factors listed below:
Species
Different species of wood can vary in density and
conductivity, which can have an effect on the electri-
cal resistance of the wood. This can influence meter
readings for the same moisture content and can also
apply to similar species from different origins. A species
adjustment table is provided on page 39 to 50.
Temperature
Meter readings can be affected by wood temperature.
The Wood Probe is calibrated at 20°C (68°F). At wood
temperatures above 20°C (68°F), the meter readings
are higher and at wood temperatures below 20°C
(68°F) the meter readings are lower. The CMEX5 has a
feature allowing for the adjustment of the temperature
calibration of PIN readings. The temperaturecompensa-
tionvalue that will be on the screen, and the value of this
will remain the same unless changed in the Full menu
(Pin Temperature).To change the PIN temperature,
press button to access Menu; scroll and press
button to select PIN TEMPERATURE; press and
buttons to adjust the temperature; press to
select; and to exit the menu.For reference, a tem-
perature adjustment chart is on page 37.
