Electrodes

	26-ES Wood hammer Hammer electrode. The 496 contact pins that come with the 26-ES penetrate 29mm (1⅛”) and have insulated shanks so that only the tips are exposed. The pins make contact only at their uncoated tips and provide much more accurate readings of moisture content at various levels of penetration. Also available as the 26-ED, which includes gauge to measure pin penetration depth. Benefits This hammer electrode will easily check high density hardwood that short pins are unable to penetrate. It will also easily penetrate through flooring to plywood sub-floor or concrete.
	2-E Wood Fitted with the same 5/16" penetration pins that are mounted on our pin type meters. This electrode is great for a variety of different applications: 2-E is also available as the 2- ET with a tapped handle for hard to reach areas. Can also be fitted with A-103 uninsulated pins with 1 3/32” length and 11/16” penetration. Benefits Home inspector: Use on wood joists and drywall. Paper producer: Use on curved surfaces such as cardboard and paper tubes. Woodworker: Use on timber, poles, and veneer.
	830-X Wood Pen electrode available in different lengths: 830-2 – 25cm (10”) 830-3 – 45cm (18”) 830-4 – 90cm (36”) (Requires H-4 Handle) Benefits For moisture measuring in sawdust
	H-4 Handle for electrodes 830-x, 831 and 832 Benefits Useful for large or high density bales. Two handed operation is recommended over using an electrode that connects directly to the top of the meter (like our 1235 series) to minimize stress placed on the meter casing.
	19-E Wood Blade type electrode. Available blade lengths: 125mm (5”) 300mm (12”) 450mm (18”) Benefits Electrode designed for measuring in wood pellets, shavings, tree bark, etc.
	15-E Wood Pin type, with two rows of four pins each, maximum penetration 3mm (⅛"). Penetration can be adjusted according to stock thickness by means of gauge block Benefits Used for veneer
	22-E for building materials Comes with A-111 uninsulated contact pins for 7/16" penetration. For use on plaster, masonry and wood. Will also accept 496, insulated pins; 1 1/16” penetration.22-E is also available as the 22-ET with a tapped handle for hard to reach areas. Benefits For use on plaster, masonry and wood
	42-E/B T-handle electrode with 1cm (3/8") penetration. Stickers must be at least 16mm (5/8"). Also offered in and 137cm (4 1/2 ft.) length as 42E/B/4.5 Benefits To check moisture in stacks in or out of the kiln
	4-E Pin type, comes with 4 uninsulated 2497/A-100 contact pins for 8mm (5/16") penetration Benefits Use on kiln-dried boards up to 5cm (2") and on air-dried boards up to 32mm (5/4")
	18-ES hammer Similar as the 26-ES hammer but with deeper penetration option. The 608 insulated pins that come with the 18-ES penetrate 8,25cm (3 1/4”) and have insulated shanks so that only the tips are exposed. The pins make contact only at their uncoated tips and provide much more accurate readings of moisture content at various levels of penetration. Also available as the 18-ED, which includes gauge to measure pin penetration depth. Benefits Ideal for timber, poles, and ties.

Accessoires

	MCS-1 Moisture content standards are great for verifying that your Delmhorst moisture meter is in calibration. The MCS-1 can be used on any meter with a wood scale. With two electrical resistance values (12% and 22%) to test your meter against, you can be sure that your readings will stand up to the strictest standards of accuracy.
	PC/KIT/USB Enables you to download stored readings from the meter to a PC via infrared linking. This software will enable you to: Export job data to Excel Customize printing options View readings and stats in the application program Save and print individual or group job readings Customize job title View data in Celsius or Fahrenheit Append notes to each job Generate graphical histogram All these features are provided in a easy to use GUI interface, and are compatible with Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP/Vista/7. The PC/KIT is included in several of our moisture meter packages, or may be ordered separately. It can be used with the Navigator Pro, RDM-3, RDM-3P, and Total Check moisture meters.
	496 496 contact pins are insulated except at the tips, and measure 5cm (2") overall with 29mm (1 1/8") penetration. Standard on the 26-ES. Used to check wood up to 13cm.
	1849 An alternate to the 496 pin for the 26-ES, the 1849 is a 38mm (1½”) insulated pin with 13mm (1/2") penetration. The 1849 is suitable for wood up to 5cm (2") thick.
	A-111 Another alternative to the 496, the A-111 is an uninsulated contact pin measures 36mm (1 7/16”) and has 1,3cm (1/2") penetration. The A-111 is compatible with both the 26-ES and the 22-E, and its tapered point makes it easier to penetrate into hard surfaces. Can be used on wood up to 5cm (2") thick.
