GE Protimeter Aquant® User Instructions
Introduction
The GE Protimeter Aquant BLD5760 moisture detector is used to assess and monitor the relative moisture level of
The Aquant BLD5760 has a digital display that is synchronized with a color coded LED scale. The digital display shows the relative moisture level of the material under investigation on a scale of 0- 1000 and the LED scale indicates moisture condition of the material.
The
•Material in the green zone is in a safe
•In the yellow zone moisture levels are higher than normal but not critical; further investigation is recommended.
•The red zone represents excessive moisture levels. If sustained, red zone moisture levels will lead to decay in organic materials.
1 Operation
The Aquant BLD5760 moisture detector has a radio frequency transceiver located in the bulge on it’s underside to give relative readings within the material against which it is held up to a nominal depth of 3/4 in. (19 mm). The depth of measurement is subject to the characteristics of the material under test.
To use the Aquant, do the following:
1.Hold the Aquant away from surfaces as shown and switch ON by pressing
momentarily. The instrument may now be used to take measurements or zeroed as appropriate.
2.Zero the instrument (with respect to the environment in which it is about to
be used) by pressing and holding for 3 seconds, until the word “nuL” appears in the display.
3. Release ; “nuL” will flash for a few seconds and then disappear from the screen. The Aquant is now zeroed.
