9. After 2 minutes, remove the filter paper from the test surface and place
on to the measurement electrodes.
4
For half size paper: position on the bottom
half of the circle using the markers on the
measurement electrodes as a guide.
4
For quarter size paper: position on the
bottom right quadrant of the circle using the
markers on the measurement electrodes as
a guide.
10.Close the lid ensuring that the magnetic
catch is fully engaged.
11. The reading will automatically be displayed
on screen and stored into memory together
with the filter paper size, temperature, date
and time (Model T - when in Batch Mode).
4
The Elcometer 130 will automatically adjust
the reading according to the filter paper size
detected or selected, assuming that the paper
is positioned on the measurement electrodes
correctly, and if manually set up, the correct
paper size is used. No manual calculations
are required by the user.
12. Lift the lid and remove the filter paper.
13. Place the filter paper in a resealable bag
(supplied), if required for further chemical
analysis.
14. Clean the electrodes between tests using
pure water and a sensor wipe (supplied).
Filter paper should be discarded and the sample re-tested in a similar location, if
the paper is left on the substrate for more than 3 minutes.
Failure to thoroughly clean the measurement electrodes between tests may
contaminate subsequent tests and result in inaccurate readings.
The Elcometer 130 measurement electrodes are gold plated to prevent corrosion
and oxidisation, prolonging the life and accuracy of the gauge. They should only
be cleaned using pure water and the sensor wipes supplied. DO NOT use
abrasive materials or chemicals as this will damage the electrodes.
