5. Rekstur

Follow these steps for accurate water activity measurement:

  1. Undirbúðu Sample: Settu sample into a clean, dry sample cup. Ensure the sample fills the cup adequately without overflowing.
  2. Staður Sample: Settu sample cup onto the base of the meter. The magnetic sample holder will secure it in place.
  3. Jafnvægi: Mikilvægt skref: Eftir að hafa sett sample and closing the meter, allow sufficient time for the sample to equilibrate with the sensor. This process can take several hours, or even overnight, depending on the sample type and environmental conditions. Do not turn on the meter immediately.
  4. Kveikt á: Þegar sample has equilibrated, turn on the meter while it is still closed on the sample.
  5. Lesa mælingu: The LCD screen will display the water activity (aw) and temperature. Allow the reading to stabilize before recording the final value.
  6. Slökkva á: The device features automatic and manual shut-off options. To manually turn off, press and hold the power button.
