Measurement Of Mc Mode; About Temperature Compensating; Remarks On Measurements - SANKO PM-101 Operating Instruction

6． Measurement of MC (Moisture Content) mode
Select Moisture Content Mode by pressing a Mode Change key ③ after
turning Power to ON.
This MC mode is capable of using broad objects relating to Resistance.
Changes of electric resistance depending on dryness and moisture indicates numerical values
｢1 to 100｣（No Unit）. Checking relatively comparative values makes it easy to classify and compare objects.
This MC measurement mode as well as when measuring Moisture can use all the functions although each of them
does not display〔％〕.
7． About Temperature Compensating
・ Automatic Temperature Compensating Function is set to ON at the initial
setting of this meter and the LCD ⑦ indicates〔TEMP〕.
（There is no Temperature Compensating with the MC mode measurement.）
・ Auto Temperature Compensation function is performed at a basis of an
indicated value of 20℃.
・ Turn Auto Temperature Compensation function to OFF for measurements
when measuring objects are heated up because of a baking (dry) heat treatment.
・ Differences of temperatures between a main body and a probe cause
measurement errors.
・ Press ｢▲｣ and ｢▼｣ of Numerical Value setting keys ④ at the same
time to change Auto Temperature Compensation to ON or OFF.
And then that make it possible to understand the changes whether〔TEMP〕
is indicated or not on the LCD ⑦, depending on the key operations.
Refer to a table below for temperature compensation when Automatic Temperature Compensation function
is OFF.

8． Remarks on measurements
Measuring values may disperse according to measuring circumstances.
Electric Resistor Type Moisture meters use the applications of sensitively electric characteristics of measuring
objects against the moisture contents and the corresponding relations never be a perfectly correlative one- to- one.
In case of measuring with different compositions・combinations, albeit the same material, and with changes in
quality, salt, contamination, and furthermore with special processing, chemical treatments, it may be necessary to
avert measuring such unfavorable objects, and compensate or average measured values. As for compensating, it is,
in general, based on moisture measurement methods in accordance with a drying process.
