instrument should be handled with due care. The pins
should be covered with the cap provided with the unit when
the function is not in use.
Calibration of unit - The accuracy speciÛcations of
the product are valid for one year from the date of
calibration. Periodic calibration checking, as outlined in
section 4, is advised.
Only operate the measuring instrument properly, for its
intended purpose and within the parameters speciÛed

deÛnitive but are used to help a professional make informed
judgement to the material's moisture condition. Conductive
material such as salts, carbon and metal can give false
positive readings.
