How do I calibrate the R6015 moisture meter?
Use the two built-in calibrators in the cap. Select scale A, disconnect the temperature probe, and touch the needle to the calibrator poles. The meter should register 17.7–18.3% H2O at 'T' or 25.5–26.5% at 'B'.
What is the auto power-off setting?
The default auto power-off is 5 minutes, but it can be set from 1 to 9 minutes or disabled by pressing and holding the button and pressing the button to change the code.
How do I calibrate the R6015 moisture meter?
Use the two calibrators in the cap, select scale A, disconnect the temperature probe, and touch the needle to the poles. If calibrated correctly, the meter should register %H,O values between 17.7–18.3 or 25.5–26.5.
