Turn the gauge on: keep the key pressed for three seconds. If a menu item will
be shown, press exit or the rolling menu until the measuring window is
displayed.

.
Note: The humimeter TMT-425 shows the water content directly on the display. A
conversion to the moisture value is not necessary anymore. A factory-set
conversion to the moisture content is possible. Please contact the manufacturer
about this.
Definition water content: The water content is declared as the amount of water in
a material, which stands in relationship to the whole weight of the material. For
example: You have 1kg material with 40% water content; the material consists of
0,4kg water and 0,6kg material.
Definition material moisture: The material moisture is declared as the amount of
water in a material, which stands in relationship to the weight of the dried material.
The same example: You have 0,6kg material with 0,4kg water; the 0,6kg material
represents 100%, so the 0,4kg water will be 66,7% material moisture.

10.0 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Common reasons for incorrect measurements:
• Product temperature out of application range
Material below 0°C resp. above +40°C (32 to 104 °F ) may cause faulty
measurements. The storage of cold material in a warm storage area usually
creates condensed water which may lead to major measuring errors.
• Not adjusted temperature of the device
Make sure that your measuring gauge and the test material are stored under the
same temperature conditions. Protect your gauge from direct sunlight. A too
high temperature difference can affect the accuracy of your gauge negatively
• Wrong calibration curve
Before you measure the sample, check the correct selection of the calibration
curve.
• Wet or moldy test material
• Moisture/Water on the measuring head
After a measurement of wet material, a water film can be left on the measuring
head. This can result in higher moisture values at the next measurement.
Therefore, clean all plastic parts of the measurement head with a dry towel.
Warning: Tip of electrodes can lead to injury!
Keep away from children under 16 years.
11.0 EXEMPTION OF LIABILITY
The manufacturer is not liable for any incorrect measurements and resulting
damages. As this rapid measurement procedure is influenced by product specific
conditions, we recommend to carry out a plausibility check on the measurement
results. Each instrument has a serial number and warranty seal. If this is broken, we
cannot provide warranty. If the instrument is defective, contact us via
www.checkline.com.

8.0 DEVICE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
Do not drop the instrument or expose it to excessive temperatures. Clean it only
with fuzz-free, dry cloth. The device is not waterproof.
For more information concerning the treatment of the device, see
www.checkline.com
The frequency for technical check of the instrument depends on the use and
required level of accuracy.
For a fee, we can also carry out a calibration at the factory. In this case you will
receive a calibration certificate.
9.0 CHANGING THE BATTERIES
Please follow following steps to change the batteries:
1. Use a finger to press the arrow on the battery
cover and pull it back.
2. Remove the empty batteries and replace them
with four new 1,5 Volt AA Alkaline Batteries.
Take care of the correct polarization when you
put in the batteries.
3. Press down the batteries so you can close the
cover.
If the battery symbol appears in the measuring window
resp. if a critical charge of battery is shown in the status, the
batteries have to be changed IMMEDIATELY. If you do not
use your humimeter device for a longer period, remove the
batteries. For eventual resulting damages we cannot
provide any warranty.

6.0 MEASURING PROCEDURE
Important: For a correct measurement please ensure that the device has the same
temperature (+/-3°) as the material under test. For that reason, let your humimeter
adjust to the surrounding temperature of the material for at least half an hour before
measuring (protect from direct sunlight!).
1. Switch on the device by pressing the power
button (
2. If desired, the calibration curves can be
changed by using the arrow keys.
3. Insert the electrodes of the TMT-425 in the
material. The measuring values will be
displayed directly.
4. Save the displayed value in the store menu
