This manual describes the features, specifications, operating instructions, temperature correction, automatic power-off setup, calibration check, care and maintenance, calibration table for wood and common timber species of the R6015 wood moisture meter.
The REED Instruments R6015 Wood Moisture Meter is a conductivity-based device designed for the timber industry to measure moisture content in wood. It features eight calibration scales covering approximately 170 species of wood and includes automatic temperature compensation when used with the included temperature probe. The instrument allows for measurements using either built-in needle electrodes or a remote hand-press probe for hard surfaces.

The instrument has eight calibration scales enabling measurements in approximately 170 species of wood.
The instrument is switched ON by pressing the (!) button and switched OFF by pressing the (!) button for approx 3 seconds.
The default auto power-off time is 5 minutes, but it can be set manually from 1 to 9 minutes or disabled.
At the 'A' calibration, the instrument should register %H,O values in the range 17.7 to 18.3.
