7.4 Measurement

Place the device with the probe perpendicular to the measurement surface at the point to be

measured and press the device lightly towards the measurement object. Hold the device still

during measurement to avoid measurement errors. The successful measurement is

acknowledged by a sound and the measured value is shown on the display.

The V grooves on the probe help you to align the device on convex measurement objects.

7.4.1 Single / continuous measurement

The setting "Single measurement" is indicated by "SNG" on the left-hand side of the display.

For single measurements, observe a time interval of 2 seconds between two measurements.

To avoid scratches and damage to the measured object and the probe, lift the meter off the

surface between measurements.

To switch to the measurement mode "continuous measurement", proceed as described in the

menu.

The setting "continuous measurement" is indicated by "CTN" on the left-hand side of the display.

Traces and scratches can occur on the measured object during continuous measurement.

7.5 Display indication

If enabled in the menu, you can select from the following displays with the "① Up" or "② Down"

keys.
