I'm on the look out for a second hand unit , is there any issue with buying second hand apart from the obvious , do they have to be recalibrated now and again , and if so is that simple or costly ?
nothing wrong with 2nd hand providing it works. I think they come with a calibration pin that you put across the prongs to check its working o.k. As for the scan mode just put your hand under it and see if it works. Its the pins you want accurate for reading wood moister and the scan bit is only a indicator to tell you where to set up a hygrometer
I,ve seen one on eBay , not sure if they have the extra probes and instructions ( waiting for reply) Will I need them ? Just need this for scanning for damp areas and testing wood ?
you should be able to download the wood moister conversion table i would guess. And the calibration bit im sure you could purchase also. You will need both tho.
wood moisture table , is that what you showed me on lvt course because i have that , with the temp and rh cross reference ?
found instructions and wood table on line, would this be the calibrating tool ? Calcheck device BLD5086 Allows the checking of pin function to be verified. Readings between 17 and 19% are normal. Two spare 1" (22mm) needles are included. Price: £6.00 ex VAT http://www.damp-meter-direct.co.uk/accessories.htm
i presume i dont need the extra probes , just the probes on the unit itself for the wood testing, item finishing soon !!
never did answer my questions , but bagged myself a bargain...................if it works !! £ 101.00, was £58.00 right up to 1 minute Thanks for advice matt
the one you have purchased is the same as my personal one (one of them anyway, but my original and favorite) :thumbs Had a look on ebay, jump up loads in last few minutes !
