2) Place enough gel on the probe or the calibration cylinder;
3) Place perpendicularly the probe onto the calibration cylinder;
4) Observe the measurement displayed on the screen, verify the
value obtained is 25mm, 2 layers. If not repeat the calibration
procedure by pressing the ‘Power/Scan’ button until an
acceptable value is obtained.
5) If no proper reading can be obtained, contact your local
representative for assistance.
