5-5. Measurement
[Note] When a volume weight is measured, "Be sure to
follow the procedure in section 7-1. page 18 to
20 (to check the accuracy of the weighing scale)
before going further".
(1) Make sure that there is no residual sample in the
measuring section, and press the
key.
[Note] First, the decimal point blinks.
During the blinking, a zero adjustment (tare)
of the weighing scale is performed. Therefore,
never move the instrument. If the instrument
vibrates even slightly, a zero adjustment cannot
be performed, and the decimal point blinking
may not stop.
(2) After the sample in icon
starts to blink, load the
sample from the manual hopper into the center of the
measuring unit as shown in the drawing on the right.
Load the sample at a constant speed for the entire
sample to be loaded within 5 to 6 seconds.
[Note] Especially for volume weight measurement, be
sure to load the whole volume of the sample in
the manual hopper into the measuring unit.
The sample should be level within the measuring section.
[Note] If the sample is not level in the measuring
section, the moisture content may not be
correctly measured.
During blinking, do not move the instrument.
