LCD Screen Shows Results Quickly and Accurately
This meter works quickly to warn you of problem moisture levels, helping to minimize defects such as shrinkage, cracks, and splits in your projects. Its LCD screen displays easy-to-read, accurate results. The meter averages up to 99 accumulated readings, giving you a big-picture view of your current job. The Delmhorst J-2000 gauges moisture from 6 to 40 percent--measuring from dry conditions (ideal for fine furniture) to the fiber saturation point (about 24 to 30 percent). The large range means the meter can be used in high-humidity and low-humidity climates.
Pin-Type Meter with Electrode Connector Delivers Superior Results
The Delmhorst J-2000's pin-type meter uses two pins that penetrate wood to a depth of up to 5/16 inch. Pin-type meters provide more accurate readings than non-penetrating meters because their tips come into direct contact with the wood fiber. If you ever deal with wood that has been exposed to surface moisture such as rain, a pin meter is the best measurement tool because its readings are not skewed by this factor. Plus, the Delmhorst J-2000 is equipped with a special connector for the Delmhorst 26-ES external electrode (sold separately), which allows you to take surface and core moisture content readings to a maximum depth of 1-1/16 inch.
Durable Case with Built-In Handle for Portability
