Meter Operation
Setting up the meter
1. Pull the battery transport tab out of the display unit.
2. If desired, extend the collapsible shaft by removing the thumb
screw (shown above) from the side, grip and extend the lower
shaft to its new position, re - insert the thumb screw, and hand
tighten.
2. Select a set of probe rods, screw in, and tighten them to the
bottom of the probe block.
3. Set the desired user settings in the settings menu. See the Set-
tings Menu (p. 10).
Taking Readings
1. Grip the TDR handles to the left and right of the display.
2. Push down on the handles maintaining a steady downward
pressure to drive the rods into the soil until the sensor base is in
contact with the soil surface. Refrain from any back and forth or
side to side movement which can introduce air pockets into the
soil medium which will alter the reading accuracy.
Caution: Exercise care not to damage the rods which could lead
to damage. See Meter Care (p. 6).
3. Press the READ button and observe the change in results on
the top display.
