3. Finger-work the duff in the sieve until it moves through the sieve and into
the sample chamber. The sieve may need to be filled more than once to
fill the chamber. The sample should fill the sample chamber to about the
beginning of the bevel on the top edge. Don’t overfill the chamber or the
compression piston may bind.
4. Remove the sieve. Ensure that the compression knob is fully out and
replace the sample chamber cap by aligning the slots of the cap with the
pins of the sample chamber. Turn the cap slightly clockwise and tighten
the chamber access thumbscrew.
5. Flip the toggle switch on the bottom of the DMM600. Turn the
compression knob clockwise until the double-beep audible signal indicates
the measurement has been made (see FIGURE 4-4 and FIGURE 4-5).

7. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to stop. A single beep indicates the
sample is no longer compressed and the measured water content value is
no longer displayed. Loosen the thumbscrew, and remove the sample
chamber cap. Remove the sample from the sample chamber. If residual
water is apparent on the sample chamber surfaces, wipe dry.
The DMM600 measures volumetric water content of organic forest floor
material. It is a portable, battery-powered device that uses measurement
methods that are sensitive to the dielectric permittivity of the material being
measured. The dielectric permittivity is strongly dependent on the water
content of the forest floor material.
The forest floor can contain several kinds of organic material including a litter
layer, the recognizable plant debris that has not decomposed; the fermentation
layer, partially decomposed litter often bound with fungus; and the humus
layer, extensively decomposed unrecognizable organic material. Duff is an
inclusive term that refers to the fermentation and humus layers. Duff thickness
and duff water content strongly influence duff consumption and soil heating
during fires.
The parts of the DMM600 include a cylinder that houses the electronics, a
sample chamber, and an LCD readout. To measure duff water content, the
6
sample is placed in the sample chamber, the lid is attached, and the sample is
compressed to a density determined by precision springs. When proper density
is reached, an audible indicator sounds and the result is displayed on the
readout. Readings are displayed in real time. There is no memory for
measurement storage.
A standard calibration converts the output of the measurement circuit to
volumetric water content. Alternatively, a user-defined calibration can be
downloaded using PC software PCDMM which is supplied with the DMM600.
When user-defined calibrations are used, measurements derived from the
standard calibration and the user-defined calibration are alternately displayed
on the LCD.
PCDMM is software supplied with the DMM600 and provides an interface
using serial communications. PCDMM allows downloading and uploading of
calibration coefficients, checking battery voltage and resetting the DMM600.
The DMM600 comes with a 7.5 cm (3 inch) diameter sieve, and a case for easy
carrying and storage for small items including a spare battery, screwdriver and
pencil.

7. Operation
7.1 Sample Chamber
Accuracy: ±5% full scale range
Resolution: 1% volumetric water content
The DMM600 is cylindrically shaped with a sample chamber on one end and a
display on the other. Electronics for the water content measurement and serial
communications with a PC are housed in the central part of the cylinder.
The sample chamber holds the sample during measurement. The sample
chamber is accessed by loosening the chamber access thumbscrew, rotating the
sample chamber cap slightly counter-clockwise and lifting the cap away from
the sample chamber.
A piston located inside the cap is attached to the compression knob by a
threaded shaft. With the sample in the sample chamber, the compression knob
is turned to compress the sample for measurement. The knob is also used to
relax the sample for removal.
The bottom of the sample chamber is a printed circuit board containing a
waveguide attached to piston. A high frequency signal is coupled to the
waveguide from the electronics in the main cylinder. The presence of water in
the sample determines the response of the circuit which is converted to water
content using a calibration equation. The waveguide is attached to a piston
which moves against precision springs to obtain correct compression of
sample.
7.2 Electronics
The electronics for the measurement are located below the sample chamber.
The electronics for display and serial communications are located behind the
display.
7.3 Display End
7.3.1 Power Switch
A toggle switch that turns the DMM600 on and off is on the bottom of the
DMM600 next to the display. When the switch is toggled on, a single beep
indicates the DMM600 is turned on. To conserve battery power, the DMM600
will automatically turn off after about 5 minutes of inactivity. If the DMM600
is in the power-saving mode, toggling the power switch or compressing the
sample will restore the measurement mode.
7.3.2 Audible Indicator
The audible indicator uses a port to the side of the power switch.

7.3.3 Display
DMM600 Duff Moisture Meter
A two-line, 16-character LCD provides measurement results. When the
DMM600 is initially turned on, the display shows:

Compress sample
The following is displayed after the sample is compressed and measured.
Std Cal: xx%
Freq: xx.xMHz
The water content measurement using the standard calibration is listed next to
StdCal. The frequency from the measurement circuit is listed next to Freq.
If a user-defined calibration is loaded in the DMM600, the following will also
be displayed:
name Cal: xx%
Freq: xx.xMHz
Where name is the name entered for the user-defined calibration as specified in
the PCDMM software. The display will alternate every 3 seconds between the
standard and user-defined calibration.
7.3.4 Serial Port
The DMM600 serial port is used for direct connection to the serial port of a
computer using a 9-pin serial cable. The port should be kept covered with the
plastic cover to protect from damage when not being used. PCDMM is the
interface software.
7.4 Water Content Measurement
7.4.1 Gravimetric and Volumetric Water Content
The DMM600 is sensitive to water content on a volume basis, i.e. volumetric
water content. Volumetric water content is the volume of water in a given
volume of material. Gravimetric water content is a weight-basis parameter and
is the ratio of the mass of water to the mass of the material with no water.
Volumetric and gravimetric water content are related by the bulk density of the
material. Multiplying gravimetric water content by material bulk density
yields volumetric water content.
The choice of water content description, whether gravimetric or volumetric, is
largely traditional in different professions. It is important to understand the
difference and how to convert between them.
9
DMM600 Duff Moisture Meter

The DMM600 presents water content measurement results in volumetric terms
because that is what the DMM600 measures. Conversion to gravimetric
requires knowledge of the material bulk density. Bulk density of duff tends to
be similar for many forest types. If the bulk density of a particular material is
known or measured, the displayed volumetric water content value is easily
converted to gravimetric by adjusting the calibration coefficients.
NOTE
As an example, consider that the bulk density of a lodgepole pine was
determined to be 0.25 g/cm

This is not a general calibration equation but an example.
PCDMM can be used to load the modified calibration equation (see FIGURE

water content using standard calibration and gravimetric water content using
the modified equation.

is the dry weight divided by the volume.
7.4.2 Duff Size and Water Content Heterogeneity
There is considerable variability in both the physical characteristic and water
content distribution in duff. Because this variability can be significant over a
small area or even within a handful-sized sample, several measurements of the
material are needed to obtain reliable estimates of the water content for the area
of interest.
Duff commonly varies in fragment size, and it may be necessary to grind or
chop the material to improve measurement accuracy and repeatability. A #4
sieve is included with the DMM600 for this purpose. Forcing the sample
material through the sieve will improve measurement accuracy and
repeatability.
The heterogeneity of material size can be characterized by making repeated
measurements of the same material. Place the duff in the sample chamber and
make a measurement. Remove the duff from the chamber and restore its
natural structure by working it by hand. Put the duff back in the sample
chamber and make another measurement. Repeat this process several times. If
the measurements vary by more than about 5% water content, this indicates
that the material should be sieved before measuring to reduce the effect of the
fragment size variation.
7.5 PCDMM Software
7.5.1 Introduction
PCDMM is PC software used to download user defined calibrations, retrieve
calibration coefficients from DMM600, reset DMM600 and monitor battery
voltage.

7.5.2 Calibration Equation
The frequency output of the DMM600 is converted to water content using a
calibration equation. The response of the DMM600 to changing water content
is best described with a quadratic calibration equation. A factory calibration is
part of the DMM600 operating system and will always be displayed.
The factory calibration to convert frequency (MHz) to volumetric water
content is:
VolumetricWaterContentfreqfreq
User derived calibrations are easily loaded to the DMM600 using PCDMM.
The coefficients from the calibrations are entered into the appropriate box then
Send Calibration button is used to transfer the values to the DMM600.

7.6.1 DMM600 Standard Calibration
FIGURE 7-3 shows the response of the DMM600 as described using the
standard calibration that was derived by Campbell Scientific using duff from
lodgepole pine, spruce, Douglas fir, larch and oak vegetation types. The error
bars indicate that the measurement accuracy decreases as water content
increases. The accuracy is approximately ± 4.0% at 60% volumetric water
content and approximately ± 1.5% at 30% volumetric water content.
Measurements on materials that are highly heterogeneous in fragment size will
provide less accurate results.

• plastic bags to store samples
• a scale to measure sample weight
• containers to hold samples for weighing and while drying in oven
• a drying oven or microwave to dry samples
7.6.2.2 Calibration Procedure
The calibration requires duff samples with a range of water contents. The
collected sample will be measured with the DMM600, removed from the
DMM600 and weighed, then dried and weighed. Water will be added to the
samples to obtain samples with a range of water contents, and the measurement
process repeated on the wetted samples.
Spreadsheet file DMM600 calibration spreadsheet.xls is provided with the
DMM600 to assist with calibration calculations.
1. Collect a sample of the material to be used in the calibration that is four to
five times the volume of the sample chamber. Sample chamber volume is
approximately 140 cm
sealed to prevent drying and let the sample set for 8 to 12 hours. This

sitting time will allow the water content to equilibrate throughout the
sample.
2. Load a portion of the sample into the chamber and take a measurement.
See Section 7.4.2, Duff Size and Water Content Heterogeneity, for
discussion of sample heterogeneity. Record the frequency in MHz that is
displayed as “Raw”.
3. Unscrew the compression knob counting the number of turns from the
position of measurement to fully out. Use the index on the compression
knob and the radial lines on the sample chamber cap for this. Record the
number of turns.
4. Remove the material from the sample chamber to a container of known
weight. Weigh the sample and container. Repeat steps 2 and 3 at least
three times using different portions of the sample.
5. Dry the samples and then weigh. See Section 7.7, Drying Samples and
Calculating Volumetric Water Content, for guidance on drying samples.
6. Using the dried samples repeat steps 2 through 4. The dried sample
measurements are zero water content values.
7. Use the following equation to calculate volume of sample at time of
measurement.
