PIN TALK

There are two types of contact pins - uninsulated, which were
provided with your meter, and insulated. When using uninsulated
pins, push them in to the wood to their full length, if possible.
This will give you the highest measured reading. Insulated pins
read only at the tip and can be driven to a desired depth to
gather shell and core (gradient) information. Additional types
and lengths of both the insulated and uninsulated pins are
available for specific applications.
