MO220  V1..2  4/10 

Manual Accuracy Check 

 

There are two (2) sets of calibration poles located inside the meter’s protective cover. 
One set is for the 18% calibration and the other is for the 26% calibration, as marked 
inside the cover. 

 

When checking the calibration, the A scale should be selected and the temperature 
probe must be disconnected. 

 

Touch the two measurement pins to the 18% calibration nodes and view the 
measurement on the meter display. Do the same for the 26% calibration. 

 

When correctly calibrated, the instrument will register %H2O

 

values in the range of 

17.7 to 18.3 (18% calibration) and in the range of 25.5 to 26.5 (26% calibration). 

 

If the tolerance exceeds ±1 the instrument must be recalibrated. 

Care and Maintenance 

When the instrument is not in use, keep it in its pouch together with its accessories. Store 
the kit in a stable, dust-free environment out of direct sunlight. Remove the batteries from 
the instrument if it is to be stored for periods of more than one month, or when the low 
battery power symbol appears on the display. Check the condition of accessories used 
with the instrument on a regular basis and replace them if they become worn or damaged.

1. 

Remove the rear battery compartment screw. 

2. 

Remove the battery compartment door 

3. 

Replace the two (2) ‘AAA’ 1’5V batteries 

4. 

Replace the compartment door and secure the screw before using the meter.
