1.0 INTRODUCTION

1. Place the empty provided cup (0.5 litre) on the scale
and turn the scale on. It shows 0.0 gram.

2. Fill up the cup with the sample material (+/- 1.0g). The
fill quantity is shown on the upper left corner on the
display of the humimeter FS2.

3. Make sure that the measuring chamber is completely
empty. It is important that no material is left in the
measuring chamber when you turn on the device.

4. Switch on the humimeter FS2 by pressing the power
button (

) for 3 sec.

5. As the next step, please do the self calibration. The

by pressing the

button.

6. In case a menu point is shown, press the left button

( ) until you reach the measuring window.

6.0 CHANGING BATTERIES

Your new device is provided with batteries.

Change the batteries:

1. Press with your finger onto the arrow of the battery

cap and pull it back.

2. Remove the empty batteries.

3. Put four new batteries in the device. Make sure the

position of the battery poles is correct.

4. Press down the batteries and close the cap.

7.0 DETERMINATION OF THE MATERIAL MOISTURE

The principle is a comparison measurement with the drying out method according to
DIN 10350: 1967 09. Take the measured sample and weigh it. Dry it out in an oven
and weigh it again. Following formula can be taken to determine the absolute
moisture:

Note: The dried material may not be used any more for measuring purposes!

Mn : Mass with average moisture content
M

t

: Mass of the dried sample

%F : Calculated absolute moisture

Exemption from liability

For miss-readings and wrong measurements and of this resulting damage we refuse
any liability. This is a device for quick determination of moisture. The moisture
depends on multiple conditions and multiple materials. Therefore we recommend a
plausibility check of the measuring results. Each device includes a serial number
and the guarantee stamp. If those are broken, no claims for guarantee can be
made. In case of a faulty device, please contact Electromatic.

%F = x 100

4.0 MOST COMMON REASONS FOR MISS READINGS

• 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 material

Let your humimeter FS2 adjust to the surrounding temperature of the material for
approximately half an hour.

A very high temperature difference has a negative effect on the stability of the
measurement result.

• Wrong calibration curve

Before you measure your sample, double check the correct selection of the
calibration curve.

• Wrong fill quantity

Fill exactly the right weight (± 1.0 g) in the measuring chamber.

• Wet or mouldy material

• Frozen measuring material.

5.0 DEVICE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

To provide a long lives of your device please do not expose it to strong mechanical
loads or heat e.g. dropping it or direct sunlight exposure.

Clean your device using a dry cloth. The measuring chamber needs to be cleaned
with a dry and soft brush.

Any kind of wet cleaning damages the device. The instrument is not rainproof. Keep
it in dry areas.

We recommend an interval ISO-conforming device check with the drying method.

Electromatic will also provide for a fee a test with a calibration certificate.
