TO CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE CORRECTION:
TotalCheck defaults to a temperature of 70ºF. As wood temperature increases, its
electrical resistance decreases and indicated moisture content rises. Lower wood
temperatures result in lower indicated moisture content. A correction is necessary if the
wood temperature is outside the range of 50ºF (10ºC) to 90ºF (32ºC). Set the
temperature accordingly and the meter will make the correction.
1. To change temperature use the  keys from the %MC READ screen to
highlight the TEMPERATURE, T: 70ºF. Press the SELECT button to get into the
TEMPERATURE sub menu.
2. To scroll through the temperature settings, use the  keys to scroll up or
down to a higher or lower temperature value. Temperature values will change in
5


3. To change between ºC and ºF press SELECT key when the COMP TEMP is
highlighted.
4. After you have selected the appropriate temperature setting, use the
