As described in the
Section 3.4.1,
there are three steps involved in the measurement
sequence: the first step is a
free air
measurement; the second is the
sample
measurement;
and the final step is another
free air
measurement.
Note:
The duration for the measurement sequence is 7 seconds long. Soon after the
measurement is initiated, a new screen with 4 dashes and a progress bar will appear.
It takes 7 seconds for the progress bar to complete. It is important that you do not
wait for the bar to build up in between each of the 3 steps or else you will be
presented with “Error” on the screen.
To start the measurement process, follow the steps below:
Before proceeding with the measurements, ensure that the meter is positioned in a free air space
void of all metallic objects.
Step 1:
With the KT-10 v2 in free air, use
SBP
▲
to start the measurement
process. After about 1 second you will hear a short sound indicating the
free air measurements are complete.
Step 2:
Immediately place the KT-10 v2 on the sample’s surface then use
SBP
▲
. When the reading on the sample is complete you will hear a
sound; this sound is different than the one heard during the free air
measurements.
Step 3:
Immediately position the KT-10 v2 in free air once again for the final
free air measurements. Wait for the final sound that will be the same as
the first tone heard in
Step 1
. This sound will indicate the final free air
measurements are complete and the reading(s) will be displayed on screen.
Step 4:
To quickly store the reading, use the
LBP
▲
. Alternately press the
LBP
▼
to bring up the measurement sub menu. The current measurement
will be stored with the Start depth.
Note: The depth will increment automatically for the interval depth specified
when the measurement is stored.
