INSTRUCTION
1. Turning the hygrometer ON
Press the „ON” button to turn the device on. The hygrometer will start automatically, without
calibration. When the device turns on, the display will show the latest-selected scale. If the battery
level is too low, such information will be displayed amd then the device will turn off.
2. Turning the hygrometer OFF
If the device is not used for a longer time, it shuts down automatically, so as to extends the life of
the batteries.To manually turn the device off, press and hold the “SELECT MATERIAL” button.
During every shut down, the latest-selected settings (scale, language, alarm thresholds) are saved.
3. Measurement
The device analyses the dielectric properties of the material by measuring the electric field emitted
by a metal ball. Dielectric properties depend on moisture content, bulk density of the material and
metal elements. CAUTION! If metal parts (i.e. nails, screws) are present within the measurement
area, the results will be biased towards higher values. The results of the measurement are displayed
on the screen. The hygrometer has 9 scales that can be used to determine the moisture content of
the material. The selected scale is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
To perform a measurement, press the metal ball to the material and press and hold the
“ON”
button.
4. Scale selection
The device is equipped with multiple scales, which eliminates the need to use adjustment tables.
This makes measurements not only more precise, but also easier.
The selected scale is displayed at the bottom of the screen. To change the measurement scale,
briefly press the “SELECT MATERIAL” button. CAUTION! When the device turns on, the
display will show the latest selected scale.
