4.6 Datum Test Point
The instrument cover includes a built-in test board (labeled T and B) that allows the user to verify the accuracy of the meter's datum point. This feature helps prevent errors during detection by ensuring the instrument is functioning correctly. To perform a datum point test, remove the protective cap and press the pins into the designated test points on the cap. The display should show a specific reference value (e.g., T-52% / B-27%±5%) as indicated in the manual or on the cap itself.

5. Antretyen
- Netwayaj: Siye aparèy la avèk yon twal mou epi sèk. Pa sèvi ak pwodui netwayaj abrazif oswa solvan.
- Swen Sonde: Keep the electrode pins clean and free from debris. Always replace the protective cap after use to prevent bending or dulling of the pins.
- Depo: Store the meter in a dry environment within the specified storage temperature range of -10℃ to 60℃. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
- Ranplasman batri: Ranplase pil yo lè endikatè pil fèb la parèt sou ekran an pou asire lekti yo egzak.
NAN. Depanaj
- Pa gen ekran/aparèy ki pa limen:
- Tcheke si pil yo enstale kòrèkteman.
- Replace with fresh 1.5V AAA batteries.
- Asire w ke bouton pouvwa a peze byen fèm.
- Lekti ki pa kòrèk:
- Ensure the correct material group (MAT) is selected for the material being tested.
- Verify the electrode pins are making firm and proper contact with the material.
- Perform a datum point test using the protective cap to check the meter's calibration.
- Ensure the electrode pins are clean and not bent or damaged.
- Ekspozisyon an dim oswa flickering:
- This usually indicates low battery. Replace the batteries.
