After selecting the appropriate material-group the unit must be hold up in
500
the air for automatic 0-correction. After about 2 sec. "- 00.0" is displayed
and the unit ready for measuring.
400
Hold the spring electrodes without excessive force and in a approx.

All of the 3 measuring springs must
600
be in good contact with the material
400
to be measured.
600
After approx. 2
measuring value is being achieved.
500
This is confirmed with a minus sign " − "
at the left side of the display.
