CAUTION
•
When the reading exceeds the upper limit of the numeral display reading
(approximately 6.5%Wt), the display will indicate “ - - - - “.
CAUTION
• It is recommended to insert the sampling container gently. Do not apply an
impact when inserting the sampling container. If the insert is too slow, the
reading may drift and may not be accurate. In such case pull out the sampling
container once and reinsert for the measurement.
• After the sampling container has been inserted for measurement, do not move
the instrument until the “BEEP” sound for the completion of the measurement. If
the instrument is moved the reading may drift.
• For the measurement, do not hold the portion of the sampling container to be
inserted, as the body temperature of the operator may effect the measurement.
Hold the ejected portion of the sampling container when handling and for
insertion.
• If the collected sample grease is of high temperature, allow it to cool to normal
room temperature before measurement.
CAUTION
• This instrument employs the electromagnetic induction method as the
measuring principle, and should not be operated in the vicinity where a strong
electromagnetic wave is generated.
(Example: inverter controlled motor, welding machine, electric spark machine)
It is recommended to conduct measurement in a location not effected by such
electrical equipment.
• Do not operate the instrument in a location where walkie-talkie or cellular phone
may be used.
• During measurement do not use or place a metal tool (object) near the sample
port.
NOTE
In case the collected grease sample contains large volume of iron oxide, the
reading of the measurement may indicate a slight difference from the SOAP
method analyzed value.
