Question
Hi or Lo
Testing the instrument
function: Test: ok does
not light up
Meas. electrodes defective/
worn
The material's measured moisture content is relative to the dry
weight (0% moisture) of the relevant material. The stored material
characteristic curves were determined using the Darr (wet and dry
weighing) method. The specified measuring ranges are derived
from this.
Conversion to percent by weight
Percent by weight = (wet weight-dry weight) × 100 / dry weight
Example
Wet weight: 180 g
Dry weight: 150 g
Percent by weight: (180 - 150) × 100 / 150 = 20%
Possible causes/solutions
· Readings outside the measuring range (too high,
too low): Readings outside the measuring range
(too high, too low): for materials that have not been
specially dried or moistened, the measurement
results should always be within the measuring range.
· Residual capacity <10 min: Change batteries.
· Clean sensing electrodes and contacts on the top
of the protection cap.
· If the error message appears again, send the
instrument to Testo Customer Service.
