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:



  • 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.

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.

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.
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.
