The instruments are tested to
withstand a 15 KV static charge but
not the typical 150 - 250 KV found
in a veneer charge. The veneer table
should be earth grounded with a
metal wand attached by wire to the
table. The wand must then be run up
and down the edge of a veneer stack
to discharge static, or the person us-
ing the moisture meter must have
a Velcro wristband with a tethered
strap which is grounded. These same
static precautions apply to lumber
moving from a planer; the hand-
meter is not an in-line measurement
system. This unit is meant to check
lumber while stationary.
If these guidelines are adhered to, the risk
of ESD damage to your moisture meter is
greatly reduced or eliminated. Please call
the factory if you have any questions or
concerns about this information.
