The measuring process
5.1
Taking a measurement
5.1.1 Taking a measurement on a paper or cardboard roll
To do so:
The roll has to have a radius of at least 100mm.
The correct product type must have been selected.
1. Take hold of the device handles on both sides and
press it against the long side of the roll with a
pressure of approx. 4 kg (figure
).
2. When doing so, both of the three sensor bars’
ends must be firmly resting on the paper or card-
board (figure
). Make sure that the sensor bars are
in a straight line.
»
Measurements taken at the front of a roll are not
reliable (figure
).
»
Taking a measurement on a rotating roll: Pressing
the device against the roll at an angle can damage
the paper/board.
3. The device will now instantly display the moisture
content and material temperature on the display.
4. For an average moisture content reading or to identify sections on the roll that
are too moist or dry, simply move the device along the entire length of the roll.
»
Once the reading has been taken, it can be saved on the device (see
).
