2. First measurement with the factory settings

There are only three steps to do:

2.1

Tare the balance to zero with the Tare button.

2.2

Place your sample material on the drying pan and spread it out to an equal

surface for a good drying Wait some seconds until the weight is shown

steady in the display.

2.3

Swing the radiator over the sample.

In this mode the sample will be dried until no more moisture evaporates and the

instrument will stop the drying process automatically.

The automatic parameters are set to " 8 mg weight loss, 20 sec interval, 1 min

start interval".

That means, the instrument will start the drying process ,wait 1 minute after the

start (start interval) until the weight loss is registered by the processor and it will

stop the drying process when in between 20 seconds ( measuring interval) less

than 8 mg weight loss happened.

Of course these parameters (and some more) can be adjusted to your demands.

3. Drying by timer or automatic function (Konsta Stop) ?

Most materials can be measured by using the automatic stop function. There are

only a few materials (e.g. sugar, jam), which could irritate the automatic function

and need the timer for a fixed drying time. Please use the timer only when your

material cannot be dried with correct reproducible results.
