Occasional higher readings may occur if, in addition to the effect of the increased
conductivity due to the stabilizer, the stacks tested also show an increase in temperature
and “sweating.” As the stabilizer becomes more thoroughly absorbed and the sweating
subsides, the meter readings recede to the initial level and will continue to decrease,
assuming that the bundle becomes progressively dryer.
IN GENERAL
When testing bundled reed, it is essential to take readings at several different points in the
bundle. Reed moisture may vary a great deal in the same bundle. For example, at one
point bundle moisture may be 20% and at another over 35%.
More tests must be made whenever the variations among readings are greater. If there is a
possibility of high moisture areas, samples from these locations should be taken. Areas of
high moisture content will spoil, resulting in loss.
It is extremely important to note the high readings and the frequency at which they occur.
CARE OF YOUR METER
To keep your meter in good working order:
Store your meter in a clean, dry place. The protective carrying case provided is an ideal
storage place when the
meter is not in use.
Change the 9-Volt battery as needed. Continued use with a low battery may cause the
meter to go out of calibration.
Clean the meter, contact pins, and probes with any biodegradable cleaner.
Use the cleaner sparingly and on external parts only. Keep the cleaner out of the
external connector.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE METER OR ANY ELECTRODE IN WATER.
Remove the battery if the meter will not be used for one month or longer.
