7. CALIBRATION CHECK
There are two checked calibration in the cap of the instrument. Use the
needle touch the two poles of calibration cap. When checking the
calibration, the A scale should be selected and the temperature probe
must be disconnected. Correctly calibrated the instrument will register
%H2O values in the range 17.7 to 18.3 (at the "T" calibration) and in the
range 25.5 to 26.5 (at "B" calibration). (If the tolerance is over +/-1 the
instrument can't accurately measure the moisture of timber, then open
the back cover, adjust the rheostat to adjust the tolerance to meet the
range.)
