TO CHECK THE ACCUMULATED READINGS
This feature displays the total number of all accumulated readings for the given material you have
chosen, the average of those readings, and the highest stored reading.
To view the readings, press and release the calibration check button (#2). First the meter
displays the number of accumulated readings for one second, then the average of those readings
for two seconds. Then it displays the highest stored reading for two seconds. The total "cycle"
time is five seconds.
To keep the accumulated readings in memory release the calibration check button (#2)
before the total cycle time is complete.
To erase readings, hold the calibration check button (#2) for more than five seconds. The
total, average and highest readings will be displayed as above, followed by a zero to indicate
all readings have been erased.
TO RESET METER
Press and release the calibration check button (#2).
Within one second press and hold the scale button (#4). The meter will display a reset
sequence as follows: "141" - "7" - "2.0" - "11.1". The last number, "11.1" is a calibration check.
Resetting the meter clears the memory and restores default settings.
APPLICATIONS
TESTING PAPER, PAPER CORES AND CORRUGATED PRODUCTS
Set the meter scale for #1 paper. Check that the contact pins are firmly hand tightened.
Push the contact pins into the paper product to their full penetration if possible.
Press the read button (#1). The meter displays the %MC for two seconds.
Since the readings are the result of an "average" calibration, if a high degree of accuracy is required, the
meter should be checked on the specific material and corrections determined by the user.
Meter readings indicate moisture content at room temperature of 70° F – 90° F. Meter readings will be
affected by lower or higher temperatures. Lower temperatures cause readings to be lower; higher
temperatures cause readings to be higher than the actual MC.
The meter tends to read the highest moisture content that is in contact with both
pins. lf thick samples are not well equalized, it may be necessary to make tests at different depths to
determine the degree of uniformity of moisture distribution in the sample.
lf the meter is used on stock so thin that the full length of the pins is not entirely embedded in the
thickness of the sample, the readings tend to indicate a lower than actual MC. This can be overcome by
testing more than one sample in stacks.
