intended to moisture & relative
permittivity measurements
of the soft and thin layer
The GL2M is very accurate and sensitive metering unit
intended to determine moisture content in the tea leaf.
Every single measurement pertain to measure single
layer (single leaf) – see addendum "A" of the manual.
Additionally are once taked also measurements of leaf
body thickness and temperature, also air ambient relative
humidity and temperature as well.
Before every measurement is essentionally to run the
calibration procedure.
To protect against potential errors is not possible to
pass over it.
Mentioned procedure removes all ambient temperature and
moisture influences on mechanical parameters of sensitive
thickness sensor.
In case of big mechanical stress, like rapid drop the
unit on the floor or on the desk would be required to
take more detailed calibration doings described in the
attached "thickness sensor calibration" point.
Driving down the external arm equiped with OLED display
bring the meter to work and simultaneously bring also to
taking hold of the sample inserted in to the measuring
aperture. The internal arm touch the leaf body with
controlled force about 1N regardless of the pushing
force applyied on the external arm, defined further as
" possible lowest force".

Summary of Contents for ASONIK GL2M

  • Page 1 & relative permittivity measurements of the soft and thin layer The GL2M is very accurate and sensitive metering unit intended to determine moisture content in the tea leaf. Every single measurement pertain to measure single layer (single leaf) – see addendum “A” of the manual.
  • Page 2 2kHz sound and see at the display the message as below: If the aperture is clear and empty the GL2M proceed the thickness calibration state. If not, the procedure will restart. For positive check, the procedure takes about two second duration, at the end you hear short "chirp"...
  • Page 3: Taking The Measurement

    Screen "C" inform that the GL2M is ready to measure the leaf moisture content and also leaf body thickness leaf temperature, the the ambient air relative humidity and ambient air temperature as well. Caution : If at any step of described calibrations you will stop manipulate the unit - the GL2M will automatically switch off after 5s.
  • Page 4 30 memory banks. At the above screen can see that presently, the working memory bank has the number "20". The GL2M is programmed to take up to 16 different measurements with current averaging of all results in to the destinated memory bank.
  • Page 5: Charging The Battery

    To carry out the charge is required to connect the powered USB in to the GL2M USB socket. If the unit was in measurement rediness duration state or totally switched off the charging process will start accordingly, the display will show as above.
  • Page 6: Removing The Batteries

    To do it, unscrew 2 visible bolts, slide out the plastic compartment, open it and remove batteries. Caution : Never use other than rechargable Ni-MH 1.2V battery types, othewise the unit electronics will damage. __________________________________________________________________________ GL2M Instruction Manual ASONIK 12.11.2017.
  • Page 7 After running the PC software - "GLM.EXE" the PC screen show the window as below: Now connect the PC USB plug with GL2M USB socket. The connection procedure is the same as described by battery charging proccess. Firstly, after connection the GL2M display will show the battery charge screen.
  • Page 8 - push the button "Print" To clear the data table and simultaneously clear all GL2M data banks - push the button "Clear". To switch between different GL2M working modes - push the button "Edit", select the desired option and push the button "Store"...
  • Page 9 Another thickness calibration method is described in point 1. connected with initial calibration procedures. In this case you must-have the attached stainless steel roundel with calibrated thickness – exact 1,000mm. __________________________________________________________________________ GL2M Instruction Manual ASONIK 12.11.2017.

    25. Ambient temperature measurement accuracy tolerance: ±0,2 26. Ambient air Rh range: 0 to 99.9% 27. Ambient air Rh measurement accuracy: ±2% 28. One button handling – ASONIK created algorithm 29. Total weight: 500g 30. Dimensions: 45mm x 45mm x 125mm 31.
  • Page 11 Tea leafe anatomy with example of the common leafe anatomy: Colorized tea leafe cross-section (scanning electron microscope): The GL2M unit determine the water content as a result of measure the dielectric property of the part of leaf. It depends on place of test. Within every species of leafe, the anatomy is repetitive.
  • Page 12 Next, need to cover every filled fossette with the metal roundel, no force, no special accuracy, providing no air bubbles among substance, as for example: Next, insert in to the Gl2M aperture and measure every point accordingly to recognition. To achieve reliable result strongly advise to measure and repeat measurement in conformity with GL2M possibilities.
