As described in the Section 3.4.1, there are three steps involved in the measurement
sequence: the first step is a free air measurement; the second is the sample measurement;
and the final step is another free air measurement.
Note: The duration for the measurement sequence is 7 seconds long. Soon after the
measurement is initiated, a new screen with 4 dashes and a progress bar will appear.
It takes 7 seconds for the progress bar to complete. It is important that you do not
wait for the bar to build up in between each of the 3 steps or else you will be
presented with “Error” on the screen.
To start the measurement process, follow the steps below:
Before proceeding with the measurements, ensure that the meter is positioned in a free air space
void of all metallic objects.
Step 1: With the KT-10 v2 in free air, use SBP▲ to start the measurement
process. After about 1 second you will hear a short sound indicating the
free air measurements are complete.
Step 2: Immediately place the KT-10 v2 on the sample’s surface then use
SBP▲. When the reading on the sample is complete you will hear a
sound; this sound is different than the one heard during the free air
measurements.
Step 3: Immediately position the KT-10 v2 in free air once again for the final
free air measurements. Wait for the final sound that will be the same as
the first tone heard in Step 1. This sound will indicate the final free air
measurements are complete and the reading(s) will be displayed on screen.
Step 4: To quickly store the reading, use the LBP▲. Alternately press the
LBP▼ to bring up the measurement sub menu. The current measurement
will be stored with the Start depth.
Note: The depth will increment automatically for the interval depth specified
when the measurement is stored.
