1.0 MEASURING PROCEDURE

1. Switch on the device by pressing the power button
(

) for 3 sec.

2. Select the right calibration curve using the buttons
or

. The name of the calibration curve is shown at
the top of the display. Please see the instructions for
selection of calibration curve below.

3. Hold the device in one hand and press it onto the
paper roll (at the breadth) resp. onto the paper pile
with gentle compacting pressure (1,0 kg). For

measurement at running rolls the PM4 (contact­free temperature measurement) is necessary!

4. Now the display shows the water content. The
temperature is shown on the left.

5. To save the results in the save menu press the

(
button). The storage was successful when the
number in front of the symbol
the store menu please press the left (

increased. To reach

) button.

6. The menu level „Options -> Log time” offers the
possibility to activate the menu item „3 sec.“. If you
press the

( button) in the measuring window after
activation, the device will save a measuring value
every 3 seconds.

7. Pressing the button ( button) completes the
saving series. Now you can name the saved values
using the arrow keys (supplier 1).

2.0 SELECTION OF CALIBRATION CURVE

Due to the countless number of paper types there is no standardised allocation of
calibration curves. The different calibration curves refer to the different densities of
paper or paper rolls.

The list of calibration curves below shows suggestions for paper types.
To ensure the best accuracy of your measurement you have to carry out a

comparison measurement using your online moisture measuring system or by kiln­drying (according to DIN 287) once.

1. Measure the water content of your paper (on the roll or the pile) using all
calibration curves that offer realistic results and write down the measuring
results of the different calibration curves.

2. Now please note the effective water content determined by your online
measurement system or carry out a reference measurement according to EN
ISO 287.

3. Compare the determined reference water content with the measuring results of
the different calibration curves. Use the calibration curve with the measuring
result nearest to the reference water content. Info: The name of the calibration

curve can be modified to your specific paper name!

3.0 DETERMINATION OF THE REFERENCE WATER CONTENT

The humimeter PM3 determines the water content, which means that it calculates
the moisture referred to the total mass (EN ISO 287):

WG

MtMn

100% ×

Mn: Mass of the sample before drying
Mt: Mass of the dried sample
