Page 4: Installing The Batteries In The Gx-8000 Meter
Installing the batteries in the GX-8000 meter The batteries (3 pieces 1.5V AA type) are installed in the battery compartment at the bottom side of the meter. This compartment can be opened by turning the screw (1) in the lid to the left with a screwdriver. When inserting the batteries, make sure that the polarity of the batteries is correct (see markings in the meter) and that the lid (2) is properly closed afterwards. - Page 5 Measurements can now be carried out in the soil phase. The meter contains a motor that sucks in the air itself. The various parts of the GX-8000 meter are shown in the next figure. Not all parts are relevant for the GX- 8000 supplied with oxygen sensor.
