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 8mm (5/16") penetration pins that are mounted on our pin type meters

Benefits
Electrode great for hard to read areas, and to minimize stress placed on the meter casing
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
Pin type, comes with A-111 uninsulated contact pins for 38mm (1½") penetration.
Will also accept 496, insulated pins, 29mm (1⅛”) penetration

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.
