Fault

Cause

Remedy

Measuring errors

The temperature of the ma-
terial being measured is too 
low or high. I.e. the material’s 
temperature is lower than  
0 °C or higher than +40 °C.

The temperature of the 
material being measured 
has to be between 0 °C 
and +40 °C.

Temperature discrepancy 
between device and material 
being measured

Let the temperature adjust 
to the material being 
measured (permitted dif-
ference of max. 3 °C).

Wrong product type

Check whether you have 
selected the right product 
type (product) before 
taking a reading (see 

"6. 

Product types"

).

Moldy or rain wet material

The accuracy of the 
measurement decreases 
significantly

Water film on the  
measuring/electrode tips

After a measurement of 
wet material, a film of 
water may appear on the 
measuring / electrode tips. 
Clean the measuring head 
(see 

"10.3 Cleaning the 

device"

).

Data transfer to Log 
Memorizer failed

Interface has not been con-
figurated

The interface only has to 
be configurated once. To 
do so, press the F1 key on 
your computer and read 
the Help file of the Log-
Memorizer program.
