Taking a measurement
To do so:
The device has to have nearly the same temperature
than the product being measured.
1. Fill the measuring cup with the filling quantity displayed
in the product type name (+/- 1.0 g) (figure
(see
).
2. Now slowly and evenly fill the measuring chamber of
the device with the material being measured (figure
).
»
For the filling, no funnel or similar device may be used.
3. The device will now display the moisture content
(figure
).
»
The displayed value flashes when the moisture
content exceeds the measuring range of the se-
lected product type (figure
signals a decreasing accuracy of the measure-
ment. The measuring range is dependent on the
product type (see
).
»
Once the reading has been taken, the measuring
values can be frozen on the display (see
function - Freezing the displayed values"
4. Empty the device and make sure that there are no
residues in the measuring chamber.

Clean the measuring chamber if necessary (see

Information - Measuring accuracy
Benefit from this rapid and non-destructive measuring procedure and take
several moisture readings of the same sample material.

Information - Incorrect readings
Always make sure to select the correct product type and the correct filling
quantity for the material you are measuring. This prevents taking incorrect read-
ings (see
