Most common reasons for incorrect measurements

 

 

Product temperature out of application range

 

Material 

below  0°C 

resp. 

above  +50°C 

may  cause  faulty 

measurements.  

 

Measuring material is frozen or mixed with snow  

In these cases the accuracy is decreasing heavily. 

 

Wrong calibration curve 

Before  starting  a  measurement  please  double-check  if  you 
have chosen the right calibration curve (material).  

 

Wet or mouldy material 

In this case the accuracy may decrease. 

 

Moisture measurement of barks 

In  case  of  uneven  shape  of  barks  in  comparison  of  wood 
chips, the accuracy may decrease. 

 

Wrong filling quantity 

Ensure  that  the  measuring  box  is  filled  with  material 
completely; there must not be less neither more material in it. 

 

Wrong filling procedure 

Place  the  measuring  box  on  the  floor  and  pour  the  material 
into it. Use delivered bucket for that action at every time.
