2. MAINTENANCE
z
Always keep instrument dry.
z
Prevent dirt from getting in between the measuring electrodes
z
Changing the electrodes:
Unscrew the 5 screws at the back of the instruments.
Remove housing lid. Unscrew all 5 screws on the electronic plate. Replace electrodes.
Close instrument again.
3. FUNCTION CHECK

contacts to the protective cap.
Reference display for wood: 27%±2%
Reference display for building material: 1.25%±0.1%
Function error: Send instrument for servicing.
4. APPLICATION
z
Remove the cap from the top side and place on the bottom side
The instrument switches on automatically.
z
Press the measuring electrodes as far as possible into the material.
z
Always measure the moisture in the wood perpendicular to the fibre structure.
z
Repeated measuring yields representative measured data.
z
Once the measurement is finished, reattach the cap on the top side and the instrument switches itself off.
