with the SONO-M1 probe
15.3.1
Measurements directly in piles of sand and gravel
When taking measurements in piles of sand, it is important to ensure that the probe is immersed
in the material up to the blue probe body. To get a representative moisture value for your material,
select the "Average" operating mode and take the measurements at different points in the pile.
Please note
that your material will be drier at the surface than in lower layers after a longer period
of dry weather. However, if it has recently rained after a longer dry spell, the material at the surface
will be wetter. For the best measurement result, measure the moisture at different points and at
different depths.
