Positioning the instrument 

Insert the sword-sensor into the stack for only approx. 10 cm, and push it a 
few  more  centimetres  into  the  stack  every  10  seconds.  Let  your  RH5 
adequately  adjust  to  the  material  (at  least  5  minutes)  before  you  start  to 
measure, particularly when the material pile was stored at a different 
temperature than the device. When removing the sword-shaped sensor 
please ensure that there is no up or down movement, because this could 
deform the sensor. For heavy stacks and rolls please use the optionally 
available sword sensor holder and the tool for removing the sword sensor 
holder. 

Measurement 

To  switch  on  the  instrument,  press  the 

key  for 

three seconds. 
After showing the logo, the measuring window opens and 
the current temperature and moisture value is displayed.  

In the type selection menu the calibration curves can be 
changed  by  pressing 

  or 

.  The  calibration  curves 

saved in the device can be found in the following list.
