Press the “TEMP” key. The meter will display the current temperature setting. To
increase the setting, keep the “TEMP” key pressed. The temperature value will
increase in steps of 5º. To decrease the value, press the “SET” key within two
seconds after pressing the “TEMP” key. The value will decrease in steps of 5.0.
4. READING THE %MC VALUE
Press the “READ” key. Within 1 or 2 seconds, the meter will display the %MC
between 8.0 and 37.0. The meter will automatically correct the reading for the
sample temperature. The reading will be displayed for 2 seconds and if the “READ”
key is still pressed, then the cycle will be repeated. The buzzer will sound if the
displayed reading is above the set point value entered in the meter (default is 20.0).
The meter will “store” the reading, provided that the user releases the “READ” key,
otherwise the meter will initiate another “READ” cycle without “storing” the previous
reading. This feature lets the user take a number of readings in sequence and only
“keep” the readings of his choice.
When the “READ” key is released, the meter will add the last displayed value to the
sum of the previous readings (up to 100), provided the value is within the range.
When all the 100 readings are taken, the meter will automatically display their
average before turning off. No new value will be added to the sum unless the user
erases the readings.
NOTE: The reading below 8.0% will be displayed as “.0” and above 37.0% as “99.9”.
These are not considered valid readings and will not be stored.
5. CHECKING THE AVERAGE AND MAXIMUM VALUE OF THE ACCUMLATED
READINGS (And erasing them)
As mentioned before, the meter adds the value of the new reading (provided that the
“READ” key is released) to the sum of the previous readings. The meter holds this
sum, as well as the number of readings added so far and the HIGHEST reading. Up
to 100 readings can be accumulated. After that, the meter will stop adding the new
reading and display the average every time a new reading is taken to remind the user
to erase the readings to start accumulating the new ones.
At any time, the user can check the AVERAGE of the accumulated readings by
pressing the “CHECK” key. The meter will display the number of readings
accumulated for one second, followed by the AVERAGE value (displayed as “A xx.x”)
for two seconds and the MAXIMUM value for another two seconds. If at the end of
the total period, the meter finds the “CHECK” key pressed, it will erase the
