CONTROLS
1. Handle
2. Guide rail
3. Striker
4. Connection cable
5. Impact tips
GETTING STARTED
• Mount the impact tips “5” to the impact probe. Tighten the screws hand-tight. Tighten them
a little more, if necessary, with an 11 mm hexogonal wrench. Do not use too much force.
• Connect the round plug connector at the end of the connection line “4” to the meter.
• Fixate the material to be measured and hold the impact probe securely at the handle “1”.
• Use the striker “3” by pulling it upwards and towards you. Release the striker. The striker’s
self-weight is generally suf
fi
cient. When doing so, make sure that the guide rail “2” is freely
moveable so that nothing is is not pinched or damaged. For harder materials such as walls,
repeat this procedure or assist with your hands until the impact probes “5” are inserted
slightly into the material.
• To obtain the measurement values, refer to the operating instructions of the instrument.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The material moisture impact probe does not require maintenance.
Never clean the product when it is connected to the mains.
A clean, damp, soft cloth is suf
fi
cient for cleaning.
Clean the sensor tips immediately after each use. Otherwise, the measurement tolerances
may be the result.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents. Do not press too strongly on the surface when
cleaning, to prevent scratch marks.
The guide rail “2” may be cleaned with a light oil, if necessary.
DISPOSAL
Dispose of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statutory
regulations.
