Carrying out a measurement
Note:
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can lead to con-
densation forming on the device's circuit board. This physical and
unavoidable effect can falsify the measurement. In this case, the
display shows either no measured values or they are incorrect.
Wait a few minutes until the device has become adjusted to the
changed conditions before carrying out a measurement.
Please observe the information regarding the measurement prin-
ciple.
1. Hold the measuring device at the black rubber surfaces and
maintain this position, for otherwise the measurement results
might be falsified.
2. Firmly place the measuring head in a vertical position on the
good to be measured.
3. Observe a minimum distance of 8 to 10 cm to corners.
4. Read the measured value from the display.
Carrying out a comparative measurement
1. Look for a preferably dry spot at the component.
2. Perform a measurement as previously described.
– The thus determined measured value will be the reference
value for dry.
3. Look for a preferably damp or wet spot at the component, if
any.
4. Perform a measurement as previously described.
– With regard to the present conditions, the thus determined
measured value will be the reference value for damp/wet.
5. Carry out further measurements at the component.
– Higher measured values usually signify a higher moisture
content in the near-surface area of the material to be
measured.
Particularly for larger areas, it is always recommended to perform
measurements in form of a preferably close-meshed grid, for it is
only this way that changes in the moisture content of the material
can relatively confidently be detected and occasional outliers
minimized.
