STARTING THE DEVICE
SECTION 4

14 SECTION 4 | STARTING THE DEVICE
TG pro coee will be ready for use if the batteries are correctly
inserted in the battery compartment (pay attention to polarity).
The main menu of the device makes it possible to inde-
pendently select the operating mode you want to use (basic or
advanced).The basic mode is designed to ensure easy use and
quick and convenient measurement of the moisture content
and temperature of the sample to make the operation us-
er-friendly even for beginners. The advanced mode includes
options enabling the use of an external temperature probe,
saving thousands of measurements to the internal memory of
the device with date and time, classication of measurements
into samples, storage area, suppliers and many others in order
to satisfy the most demanding customers.
Note! If you use the advanced mode, you can download
from our website at www.draminski.com a special software
for communication with your computer, which allows you to
download data from TG pro coee to your computer, create
reports, printouts, charts, spreadsheets etc.
Turn on the device with the key.
a) a welcome message will appear on the display specify-
ing the name of the device, software version, calibration
version and serial number, e.g.
www.draminski.com
TG pro coee
Firmware v: 1.42 K:0.10
SN: TG000030
b) then a list of available species will be displayed, while
the top of the display will show the model of the device
and the current battery status (the date will also be visi-
ble in the advanced mode). When turned on, the device
will backlight the last tested species, e.g.

NOTE: If the battery is too low to continue operation, the de-
vice will automatically signal this with the following message:
Change batteries
This means that the batteries must be replaced with new ones.
c) in order to save the power source when the keys are not in
use, after some time the device will go into a standby mode,
i.e. the backlight will go out (this time can be changed in the
menu - see section: MAIN MENU). After pressing any key, the
device will return to the working state,
d) if TG pro coee remains in the standby mode for a few min-
utes, the power will be o automatically (this time can be
changed in the menu - see section: MAIN MENU).The device
will signal this by activating the backlight and the display will
show a countdown from 10 to 0, which can be interrupted
with any key; otherwise the device will turn itself o in order
to save the source of power, e.g.
Power o in 5
Power o in 1
e) in order to turn o the device on your own, hold down the
key for 5 seconds or select the “Turn o!” option from
the main menu,
f) during measurements, in the lower part of the display you
can see hints as to what the key from the membrane key-
board is responsible for at a given moment, e.g.

NOTES TO THE MEASUREMENTS
SECTION 5

18
– Before starting the measurement, check whether the
measuring chamber is clean and dry. Remember to re-
move the sample from the measuring chamber after the
measurement has been completed.
– Fill the measuring chamber ush with its edge and then
tighten the clamping nut until the buzzer is activated.
It is forbidden to add the sample after compressing. In
case of some species with increased moisture content,
the nut may not sound and in this case it should be ful-
ly tightened to the end of the thread in order to take
the measurement.
– If the signal from the clamping nut is weak, unscrew
the nut cover and replace the battery with a new one.
It is forbidden to bend the plates causing the buzzer to
switch on.
– During the measurement the remains of the tested ma-
terial may get into the thread of the nut. To make it easi-
er to tighten the nut, clean the thread regularly without
using sharp tools.
– When cleaning the chamber, remember to do it carefully
so as not to damage the temperature sensor located at
the bottom of the measuring chamber.
– Remember that the device features automatic temper-
ature compensation therefore make sure that the tem-
perature of the measuring chamber is close to the tem-
perature of the tested sample (do not test the cooled
sample in a device heated e.g. in the sun and vice versa).
– The nal result should be taken as the average value e.g.
from the last 3 measurements of a given sample (the
average is calculated and displayed automatically). The
number of measurements from which the average is cal-
culated can be changed in the main menu.
– In order to be able to store moisture content measure-
ments in the device’s memory, activate the advanced
operating mode (additionally, in the main menu of the
device you can choose whether you want to store the
result or the average from the measurements).
SECTION 5 | NOTES TO THE MEASUREMENTS

– In order to be able to store measurements from an ex-
ternal temperature probe in the device’s memory, it is
necessary to activate the advanced operating mode
and give the probe its own name in the settings (this is
necessary so that the results can be put in a directory in
a proper way).
– In case of major deviations of the results of a given spe-
cies consisting in overestimating or underestimating the
results by a similar value within the whole measurement
range in relation to the laboratory method (moisture
balance), a result modication should be applied (see
section: MODIFICATION OF HUMIDITY RESULTS).
– Each species has a dierent range of measured moisture
content, while exceeding it is indicated by a correspond-
ing sign, e.g.
“<8.5%” (below the range) when the moisture content
of the tested sample is lower than 8.5%,
“>35.0%” (above the range) when the moisture content
of the tested sample is higher than 35%.
