Measuring procedure GF2 basic device 

 

To  switch  on  the  instrument,  press  the 

  key  for             

three seconds. 

After showing the logo, the measuring window opens and 
the current measuring values are displayed. 

 

 

Now  you  can  select  the  desired  calibration  curve  by 
pressing 

  or 

.  The  calibration  curves  saved  in  the 

device can be found in the list below.  

 

List of calibration curves 

Pressing the 

 

or

 

 key in the measuring window for at 

least 3 seconds, a list with all available calibration curves 
appears. Select your sort by pressing 

 

or

 

 and confirm 

by pressing the 

 key.

 

 

 

Look  for  some  representative  positions  that  are  suitable  for  monitoring  the 
floor screed moisture. The thickness of concrete in these places has to be at 
least 30mm. 

Please make sure that there are no pipes, electric cables or iron gratings in 
that area. Metal objects within the measuring field of 30mm lead to incorrect 
measuring values. 

Before  measuring,  clean  the  measuring  area  with  a  broad  scraper.  The 
measuring device has to rest on the concrete with its full surface without any 
air space. The measuring area must not be polluted by grit. 

Select the calibration curve that best fits your material to measure using the 
arrow keys. For a list of material types and corresponding densities, please 
see the chart below. 

Please  ensure  that  the  measuring  instrument  has  nearly  the  same 
temperature than the material to measure. 

Press the measuring instrument with downward measuring surface with 
a pressure of approx. 4kg onto the cleaned measuring area.

 The water 

content is displayed in the measuring window immediately. 

The  interpretation  of  the  shown  floor  screed  water  content  needs  the 
experience of the user as well as the recommendations of the floor screed 
producer.
