Moisture meter type DS5-AL
The measuring electrode of the meter is pushed into the paper or
cardboard piles and a high frequented field is able to pass through the
material. Taking in account the material setting, the percentage water
content is determined. The result can be read off immediately.
Method of operation:
Measuring principle:
The meter works in accordance with the principle of an opened plate
capacitor. The capacity of the capacitor depends on the material-
(dielectric)-constant of the material in between the plates. Compared with
air (e = 1) , for example water has a very high dielectric-constant (e = 80).

The water content of a wet material can therefore be determined by
determining the dielectric constant of this material.
Safety tips:
- follow the operating instructions
- only use the meter as directed (see page
- keep the meter away from live and current carrying parts
- keep the meter dry
- avoid impacts
- protect the meter from heat
- keep the meter dry and try to prevent dirt from entering the case
- protect the meter from electrostatic discharge.
- the meter must be repaired or serviced only by qualified specialists
Damages caused by failure to follow the above mentioned Safety tips
are not covered by the warranty!

Turning on:
- the sensor must be dry and clean
- push "ON/OFF" button, until it shows "on” in the display and hold the
meter in the air so that the automatic zero point measurement /
correction can be carried out correctly
- release "ON/OFF" button the meter is ready for use
