1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Check-Line TEM-1 textile moisture meter determines the residual moisture in yarn bobbins, fabric folls, filaments, fiber flocks, etc.
The measuring principle of the TEM-1 is based on the electrical conductivity of the material which always bears a fixed relation to the moisture. All changes in resistance inside the measuring ranges of interest are sufficiently pronounced to ensure a high degree of accuracy for the readings obtained with the TEM-1.
NOTE: The distribution of moisture is never uniform, but varies both
over the entire surface and also inside the material. Therefore, different probes types, referred to here as electrodes, are used to measure the moisture content and detect differences in moisture content.
NOTE: The TEM-1 is a high-quality instrument. However, over time,
even the best product is subject to a certain amount of wear. We recommend that you return the meter and accessories every twelve months for a routine check-up. The meter and its calibration will be thoroughly examined, so that you can be sure that the meter is operating correctly.
1.1 Complete Kit
The TEM-1 is supplied as a complete with leather carrying case, electrode holder (p/n # 204) electrodes (p/n #'s 205, 207) and connecting cable (p/n # 200

2.0 TEM-1 SETUP
1. Open the carrying case and carefully remove the TEM-1 moisture meter.
2. Locate the cable receptacle on the top of the TEM-1 and insert either end of the connection cable. You will hear a click when the plug is seated. See A
3. Insert the opposite end of the cable into the receptacle in the base of the Electrode Holder. Press until you hear a click indicating the the plug is seated. See B.
4. Unscrew and remove the dark grey retaining ring. See C.
5. Select the proper electrode for your application. See Section 5.0 for a list and descriptions of the electrodes available for the TEM-1.
6. Once the proper electrode has been selected, insert the two connecting pins on the bottom of the electrode into the two receptacles on the top of the Electrode Holder. See D.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Inserting electrodes
The pins on the electrodes are very sharp. When inserting an electrode, grasp it by the white plastic base, keeping your hand away from the ends of the pins and press it into position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Removing electrodes
The pins on the electrodes are very sharp. To remove the Electrode, first Unscrew and remove the retaining ring. Grasp the white plastic base of the electrode and carefully push up while wiggling the electrode from side to side until it is free. DO NOT place your hand above the pins and attempt to pull the Electrode out as an injury may result.
7. Replace the grey retaining ring and hand tighten.
8. Perform a Battery Check and described in Section 3.0
