Overview of the different TF Sticks The TF Stick 16 K-21 is the standard stick for the Hydromette BL Compact TF 3. It has a PTFE filter cap for the protection in case of wet conditions. We have three other types of sticks for different measuring conditions. The difference between the sticks 16 K-25, 16 K-25 M and 16 K-25 P are the various filters to protect against dust and moisture.
USB-Connection with GANN DIALOG Software 5 USB-Connection with GANN DIALOG Software The Hydromette BL Compact TF 3 can be connected with a computer, which uses Windows, via an USB cable. By using GANN DIALOG Software measured data can be directly displayed and saved.
