2.0 MEASURING PROCEDURE BL2 WOOD CHIPS PROBE
1. For a correct measurement please ensure that the device has the same
temperature than the wood chips (+/-3°C). For that reason, let your humimeter
BL2 adjust to the surrounding temperature of the material for at least half an
hour before measuring.
2. Switch on the device: Press the
key for three
seconds.
3. Plug the probe of your BL2 wood chips pr obe straight
into the wood chips. It is not allowed to load the
measuring head incorrect or drop it down!
4. Plug in the sensor cable into the socket of the BL 2. Take
care of the correct position and fix it with the knurled nut.
5. Change the calibration curve: Press one time the
key
and then the or key. The n ame of the calibration
curve can be seen at the head of the display.
6. Now the display shows the water content. Left hand
the temperature is displayed.
7. To save the results in the save menu press the
(
button). The storage was successful when the
number in front of the symbol
increased. To reach the
store menu please press until the appears.
8. To name the saved results press the
button.
9. Remove the BL2 probe straight with caution and clean the measuring head.
Risk of injury by measuring head!
Keep away from children!

! Only for testing the BL2 with the test block !
• Wood chips: standard chi ps of wood (forest wood chips) according to EU-norm
CEN/TS 14961 class P16 and P45.
• Coarse chips: for coarse wood chips P45 but with fewer fines.
• Industrial chips: for industrial chips of wood without barks and fines (similar
P63)
Definition of wood chips classes
The stated numbers refer to the particle size that goes through r ound gaps of the
corresponding diametres (e.g. P16: 16 mm).
• P16 minimum 80% of the bulk is between 3,15 and 16 mm
• P45 minimum 80% of the bulk is between 3,15 and 45 mm
• P63 minimum 80% of the bulk is between 3,15 and 63 mm
Compression of wood chips
The humimeter BL2 is calibrated for normally compressed wood chips. If the
measured wood chips are compressed to a much lesser or greater extent, this will
cause measuring imprecisions. Normally compressed wood chips are defined in
norm CEN/TS 15103 (determination of the bulk density).
4.0 DETERMINATION OF THE MATERIAL REFERENCE MOISTURE
The principle is a comparison measurement with the d ehydration method according
to CEN/TS 14774. Take the measured sample and weigh it. Dry it out in an oven
and weigh it again.
