SELECTING MEASURING FUNCTIONS
F I: Measurement without hold func on.
When the spring electrodes are moved over a surface,
the MC-160SA con nuously takes a new measurement.
This func on is used for fast scanning of an area.
F2: Measurement with hold func on, indicated by "HOLD".
The MC-160SA only takes one measurement when the spring electrodes
touch a surface. The value is kept on the display a er the MC-160SA be-
ing removed from a surface. This is used for viewing the result where it is
diffi cult to see the display during opera on. A new reading is taken when
the unit is placed on a surface again.
F3: Measured value is calculated into Rela ve Humidity,
indicated by „RH:" (only for material codes E0 - E5).
To be used for building materials only not wood. The MC-160SA auto-
ma cally calculates the Moisture content value (% H2O) into Rela ve
Humidity (% RH). This func on is used when rela ve humidity is a more
appropriate term.
F4: MC measurements are stored and the average value is calculated.
Up to 16 measurements can be stored in the memory. The MC-160SA
then calculates the average of values stored in the memory.
• "AVE+" is showed in the le corner of the display when a value is stored.
• The average value is fl ashing on the display if the green bu on is
pushed.
• To reset the memory turn the unit off .
THIN MATERIALS
For single materials, thinner than 5 mm, the sensi vity of the meter is normally
not enough even with the bo om sensor. To obtain a more accurate measuring
result we recommend measurements in a pile without air spaces between the
single parts and with a minimum thickness of 15mm for the pile.
BASE
With material thickness < 50 mm the base material is very important To avoid a
metal base. The best results are achieved if the material to be measured is held
into the air. Styrofoam material with a minimum thickness of 20 (8") cm can
also be used when using the Measuring Springs.
WET SURFACES
In case of material with a wet surface a PVC-foil can be used between
the material and measuring springs.
