Press ENTER if you want to store this reading or any other key other than TEST key if not.
Unscrew and remove the compression tool, remove the sample ring and clean away the
compressed sample material with the supplied brush. Wipe the sample cell with a clean,
dry cloth if necessary. If the sample has any sticky residue that remains on the test cell,
press TEST and the meter will run a cell clean test, if necessary clean it off using
99.8% Isopropyl alcohol wipes. Using Isopropyl alcohol wipes circumvents
the need to carry highly flammable liquid into the field.
*See below for more detailed cleaning information and recommended cleaning frequency
3.13 Repeat procedure from step 3.6 for a second and third sample and average the results.
Note: Removing Contaminating Residues
To maintain the accuracy of your moisture readings, the most important thing in the field is to keep
the surface of the test cell top face, residue free.
When or how often to clean the test cell is very subjective.
Pressing the TEST key at any time will run a clean cell test.
Factory testing has determined that the only test cell cleaning product that is effective and does not
leave a contaminating residue is:
99.98% Isopropyl Alcohol
The most covenient product is 99.98% Isopropyl alcohol wipes
Due to its flammability, liquid 99.98% Isopropyl Alcohol is not recommended, particularly in the field.
All other products leave a contaminating residue. Particularly nail polish remover (liquid or wipes),
70% Isopropyl Alcohol (liquid or wipes) etc.
Wiltronics can supply 99.8% Isopropyl Alcohol wipes in packs of 50 as a consumable item
