Most common reasons for miss readings
Product temperature out of application range
Material
below 0°C
resp.
above +40°C
(32 to 104 °F) may
cause faulty measurements. The storage of cold material in a
warm storage area usually creates condensed water which
may lead to major measuring errors.
Not adjusted material under test
Please ensure that the device and the material under test are
being stored at the same temperature (+/-3°C) before
measuring. A high temperature difference has a negative
effect on the stability of the measurement results.
Wrong calibration curve
Before you measure your sample, double check the correct
selection of the calibration curve.
Wet or mouldy material
Frozen measuring material
Water film at the measuring head
After measuring wet material a water film can arise on the
sensor head. This could lead to a too high result in the
following measurement. After measuring wet material clean
both plastics parts accurately with a dry cloth.
It is not allowed to load the measuring
head incorrect
(stress, bending), other
wise it can be broken.
Plug and remove the
insertion probe of your BLL straight into the
wood chips.
Do not move the BLL crosswise to the
insertion direction after plugging in.
Do not drop the measuring head or use it for
any ulterior purposes.
A broken measuring head is no case of
warranty!
