Correct Use Of
RWS
.
For correct use of your RWS :
• Make sure that the
RWS
is held firmly by its
built-in plastic grab handle and that your hand is not
in contact with electrode or body sides of the
instrument. (Extension handles, such as telescopic
handles, should not be used
while in EIFS Mode
, as
these will affect reading and performance of the
RWS
and the handle should not be insulated or
isolated from operator’s hand when in use. The tel-
escopic extension handle should only be fitted to the
RWS for use on roofing in Roof Mode.
• Both the electrodes need to be placed in firm contact
with the surface. On narrow areas where full elec-
trode contact is lacking or not possible, it may be
necessary to recalibrate the meter .
• On areas where thickness of insulation or lamina
varies from that at where the
RWS
was zeroed, read-
ings may be affected. It may be necessary to com-
pensate for these differences in coatings or insula-
tion specifications.
• At temperatures below 40°F (4°C) the RWS may
not function efficiently due to the possibility of
moisture turning to ice.
• Readings at lower temperatures tend to be lower
than those at higher temperatures and vice versa.
Maintenance of
RWS
.
1. Keep the electrodes clean and dry and regularly
inspect for wear.
2. Clean electrodes with a damp cloth. Do not use sol-
vents to clean the
RWS
.
3. Remove battery when the
RWS
is stored for long
periods.
4. The replacement battery should be of good quality
and leak proof.
5. The
RWS
will automatically power off after 30 min-
utes of inactivity. Avoid leaving the
RWS
switched
on while not in use.
6. In the event of a malfunction, return to your suppli-
er. The
RWS
carries a 12-month warranty. Details
and warranty card are supplied with the instrument.
