B. Measurement method
B-1 Finish the power on steps as above, please check the battery power indicator to sure the power is
enough and it is available to process moisture measurement and every function operating.
B-2 Use the front two needles to stab into the measured material to read the moisture of material on
the display.
B-3 If the condition is difficult to operate or needs long needle to measure deeply, please use the
extension probe (No.7021) to connect the right side outlet of the instrument for measuring.
※The reading value of same object measured by extension probe and needle is equal
C. Record function operating－use as the operation below:
C-1 Reading value hold function（HOLD）
When get reading value at B-2 step, press one time to hold the value on the display

C-2 Maximum reading value function（MAX）
Press the key twice in the normal model to read the maximum value and the memory location
C-3 Minimum reading value function（MIN）
Press the key thrice in the normal model to read the minimum value and the memory location
C-4 Average reading value function（AVG）
Press the key four times to read the average value and the memory records
C-5 Memory reading function（REC）
Press the key five times in the normal model to enter the memory reading function for recalling
the memory location and data records including tree kinds and groups data.
※Press again, and it will return to the normal model
C-6 Reading records function
When the measured value is hold, it is able to use to select the required record

This instrument has synchronal output function, and it can be used to connect the related
peripheral device like a recorder, controller, PC Data-Logger…..etc.
※output signal：DC 0 ~ 1V，10mV∕％
6. Care and Maintenance
1. This instrument has the accurate temperature compensation function, but, if it is used in the place
with high temperature or high humidity, it will produce deference or error message.
2. The sensor (needles) is the electric conduction elements of connecting the measured material. In
order to avoid damage to the instrument and electric shock, when the measured material has
voltage or static electricity, please clear the voltage or cut off the power and then go to measure.
3. Please use the two needles to pierce into the material at the same time and keep them for a while
to get the more accurate value.
4. For the hard material or the material need deep inspection, please change to use the special needle
(option)
5. To avoid the incorrect reading, if the low symbol appears, please replace the battery before using
6. The sensor (needles) is the main element, if the sensor has damage or other problems, please
replace the new one to use continually.
