needed, repeat above mentioned procedures after pressing
[H/L] key ⑥again.
※1. When the upper limit value is not needed, press the [H/L] key again after pressing the [H/L] key ⑥
first.
Then [H] showing the upper limit value is deleted and mark [L] showing the lower limit value is blinking
instead. The lower limit value is set at this step.

５．MEASUREMENT
1. Connect the probe suitable for an object (wood, paper, cardboard, mortar & plaster) to be measured.
2. Power switch ①ON and confirm the indications on the LCD display ⑦.
For wood ＝[TG-H] For paper ＝[KG] For mortar ＝[MORTAR]
Example: In case of connection
of the probe for wood
★When the probe is not connected, probe error [PE] is indicated on the LCD display and the power
OFF with 3 beeping sounds of the buzzer.
★When the power switch ①ON with the probe pressing against the object to be measured, once [LLL]
is indicated on the LCD display and the measured value is indicated in 3 to 4 seconds.
3. Press the mode key ③, select the mode suitable for the object to be measured.
(Refer to 4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS , 4-3 Converting the measurement mode.)
4. Press the electrode ⑬with a constant force against the object to be measured and read the indicated value
after settlement of the indication.
When the 2-needle electrode is used, stab it into the object to be measured.
5. When the hold key ②is pressed, the indications on the display are held when the electrode is removed
from the object or the measured values become stable.
Hold condition is released by pressing the hold key ②again.
Note: In case the measurement is carried out with the probe hammered into the wood which is an object
to be measured:
Keep on the hold mode releasing until the hammering of the probe is completed. Pay attention to
convert the mode to the hold mode at the time when the measured value is read after completion of
the hammering.
When the hammering is carried out in hold mode, it causes measurement error as the data
during hammering is held and indicated.
６．MEASUREMENT IN THE MOISTURE CONTENT(MC)MODE
MC mode of moisture content is applicable to the wide range of object relating to the resistance.
Select the connecting probe based on the electric characteristics of the object to be measured and usage
of the Meter.
The changes of the electric resistance caused by the dry or the moisture of the object to be measured
are indicated by the values「1to100｣.
Classification and comparison can be easily checked by checking the relative comparison values.
Using probe Measurement mode Resolution
For TG MC-3 1 to050 0.5pitch , 50to100 1pitch
For KG MC-2 1 to 100 0.5 pitch
For PM MC-1 1 to 100 0.1pitch
Optional probes suitable for an object to be measured in addition to 3 kinds of the standard probe(PA type)
can be prepared or fabricated.
Please contact us at the nearest branch for the details.

７．TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
The automatic temperature compensating function is set ON at the initial setting condition and the
indicating value is automatically temperature compensated based on 20 ℃.
When an object to be measured is high temperature due to dry treatment by heating etc., measure it after
turning the automatic temperature compensating function OFF. In case the temperature of the main body
differs from the probe, it will cause the error in measurement.
ON or OFF of the automatic temperature compensating function can be converted by pressing both
｢▲」key and「▼」key of the value setting keys ④simultaneously.
Ex: In case the compensation
Then, [TEMP OFF] or [TEMP ON] is indicated on
the LCD display ⑦for about 2 seconds and the
setting condition is converted.
When the automatic temperature compensating
function is set OFF, refer to the following list for the
temperature compensation.

８．NOTES FOR MEASUREMENT
The electric resistance type Moisture meter utilizes the characteristics that the electric characteristics of
an object to be measured reacts specially sensitively on its moisture contents, but the relation is not
perfectly related in one-to-one ratio.
When its composition and proportion are different or change in quality and contamination exist or special
processing and chemical treatment are performed even though the same object, it is necessary to avoid the
measurement at these places or to use the measured values after compensating.
Measuring values may disperse according to measuring circumstances.
９．BATTERY
9‑1Indication of the voltage drop
When [E] showing the voltage drop is indicated in
the left of the LCD display ⑦, the batteries close to
the limit of use due to consumption.
Open the battery case ⑩by sliding the cover downward
and replace all alkaline batteries LR03(1.5V) × 4 pcs.
with new ones. (ensure the limit of use.)
When the Meter is continuously used after voltage
drop mark [E] was indicated on the LCD display,
following conditions will occur.
・Though it differs depending on the characteristic and using condition of the dry batteries,
the Meter can work for several hours.
(Replace all 4 batteries with fresh specified dry batteries earlier.)
・When the Meter is continuously used as it is, measured values will become unstable.
・When the power switch is turned ON, the buzzer continuously sounds and key operation become
impossible simultaneously.
(Remove the batteries from the Meter.)
・When no indication is on the LCD display, the batteries are completely consumed.
9‑2Handling while the Meter is not in use
・Even if the power switch ①OFF, the battery capacity has been slightly consumed.
・In case the Meter will be not used for 1 month or more, it is recommended to store the Meter after
removing the batteries from the case.
１０．MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
■Wipe dirt off with soft cloths, etc. after using the Meter.
Specially care to keep the probe connector, electrodes, groove between electrodes, etc. clean and dry.
■Prevent the Meter from exposing to shock, direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity, etc.
■Select a dust free, clean and well-dried place for storing the Meter.
In case the Meter will be not used for 1 month or more, remove the batteries from the Meter.

１１．Miscellaneous
11‑1How to use the Moisture reading checker(option)
Press the electrode against the checker as shown in the following sketch in power ON condition.
When the reading of the Meter matches the figure on the checker, the Meter's reading is acceptable.
When the reading deviates from the checker's, please request our agent or the nearest our branch to
calibrate the Meter. (subject to pay)
※An object for checking by the Moisture reading checker differs face side from back side.
Use after surely confirming model, type of the Meter and measurement mode.
※When checking the Meter, carry out after turning the temperature compensating function OFF.
Refer to 7.TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION for the details.
11‑2Cover for the needle electrode (Fitting/removing methods of the cover)
Fit the cover in the needle electrode spreading out by fingers holding both sides of the cover for
the electrode.
When the cover is tight, fit by force prying it.
Carry out the same procedures for removing the cover.
Fitting / removing the cover by force causes an injury occasionally.
Attach or detach the cover with full care.
Be careful not to be injured with the needle electrode.
