because the compressed density influences the
measuring result. Make sure that you always exert the
same amount of pressure since the density of the
material increases when it is pressed tighter or softer; so
you could get different measuring results every time you
measure the material. You must not touch the sensor
plate or electronic box during the measurement.
The absolute moisture (depending on the wet weight)
can immediately be seen on the LC-Display.
The device turns off automatically after 90 seconds or
when the measuring range has been exceeded.
