Measuring time display
While a measurement is being performed, the amount of time elapsed
will be displayed in minutes.
* The change in moisture content over each 30-second interval is displayed
numerically and in scalar format (where the scalar display may display a
maximum change of 2 percent/30 seconds).
* Taring is performed automatically once per minute (or once every 30 seconds
when near the end of the measuring time) while measuring moisture content.
* To stop measuring when in the midst of a measuring operation, press the
START/STOP
key.

Disposing of samples after measurement

accordingly be careful in handling them at this time.
A
Getting ready to perform the next measurement
Leave the lid to the heater open to allow the tester to cool off. When
performing measurements one after the other, leave an interval of about 1-2
minutes between each measurement and make sure that the tester has
cooled down before proceeding to the next measurement. You should also
keep a spare (cooled) sample pan on hand to use in the next measurement.
(See “11. Precaution on Conducting Measurements” on p. 40 for further
information.)
When ready, return to step
3
and begin the next measurement.
B
Turning off the power
When all measurements have been completed, turn the power switch to the
off position. Also be sure to turn the power off whenever the tester is not in
use.
