To guarantee correct readings:
· Repeat the measurement at several points. The differing
resistance of the wood, with or across the grain, may have
an impact on the measurement result. If the injection needles
are inserted with the grain, this may result in slightly higher
readings because the resistance in the material is lower.
· A measurement is only implemented as far as the depth that
the injection needles are inserted within the material. Insert
the measuring needles as far as possible (4 to 5 mm).
· When measuring fuel moisture content, it is advisable to split
the log prior to measurement and to measure at three points.
Measuring points: each 5 cm away from the left and right cut
edge and once in the centre of the log.
The values displayed are highly dependent on the building
material/manufacturer used, and on the ambient conditions .
As the materials are natural, the same materials can vary from
batch to batch.
Switching the instrument on:
> Press .
- Measuring mode is opened.
Switching the display light on:
The instrument is switched on.
> Press .
- The display light goes out automatically if no key is
pressed for 10 seconds.
Setting the material characteristic curve:
The material moisture is indicated in the top line of the
display. The material symbol (wood) or (building
material) is displayed with the relevant material number (see
enclosed sticker for the inside of the protective cap).
