NTRODUCTION
The Check-Line TEM-1 textile moisture meter determines the residual
moisture in yarn bobbins, fabric folls, filaments, fiber flocks, etc.
The measuring principle of the TEM-1 is based on the electrical
conductivity of the material which always bears a fixed relation to the
moisture. All changes in resistance inside the measuring ranges of
interest are sufficiently pronounced to ensure a high degree of accuracy
for the readings obtained with the TEM-1.
NOTE: The distribution of moisture is never uniform, but varies both
over the entire surface and also inside the material. Therefore,
different probes types, referred to here as electrodes, are used
to measure the moisture content and detect differences in
moisture content.
NOTE: The TEM-1 is a high-quality instrument. However, over time,
even the best product is subject to a certain amount of wear.
We recommend that you return the meter and accessories
every twelve months for a routine check-up. The meter and its
calibration will be thoroughly examined, so that you can be
sure that the meter is operating correctly.
