It is calibrated for kraft paper from 4.3% to 18% moisture content and for baled scrap paper from 5% to 40%, with a 0 to 100 reference scale for materials that have no calibration. It replaces the Delmhorst P-2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a different instrument from a building meter. Paper moisture sits in a much narrower band, and getting it wrong shows up as curl, cracking, poor ink adhesion and jammed presses rather than structural damage. The paper calibration is what makes the readings useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is in this package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePX-30 meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/delmhorst-h-4-handle-prod\"\u003eH-4 electrode\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKraft paper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3% to 18% MC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBaled scrap paper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5% to 40% MC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference scale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 100 for uncalibrated materials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature correction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaled and scrap scales\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStored readings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 100, with high, low, average and standard deviation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluetooth to the Delmhorst EDGE app\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEDs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour coded, adjustable in the app\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlarm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet point at a user-selected moisture content\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × AA alkaline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrodes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible with existing Delmhorst probes and electrodes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years on manufacturing defects\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a building moisture meter on paper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot meaningfully. A wood scale will show a number on paper, but it is not calibrated for it, so the figure has no defensible relationship to actual moisture content.
