Moving back: Press to switch to another input level. To move back, press Confirm the offset by pressing » The offset has been saved. 10. Press to leave the material calibration menu. 11. The set offset will now be applied to the selected product type and shown in the display (figure 4).
EN/ISO standards), material-specific characteristics can be created. • For this purpose, we recommend that you let us carry out a laboratory order for the creation of a characteristic curve of a material for the humimeter SG1 art nr. 11217. • In addition, the SG1 also has 8 Free Bulk Characteristics pre-installed. Here it is possible for the customer to assign one of these characteristic curves to his mate- rial via a comparison procedure (such as various EN/ISO standards).
How moisture is defined In the standard delivery state, the device measures and shows the material moisture content. The moisture content readings are calculated in relation to the material’s overall mass: Mass of the sample with average moisture content Mass of the sample with zero moisture content %WG: Moisture content (in accordance with EN ISO 18134-2) Notes for comparative measurement with oven-drying method...
