Once powered-up and operational, insert and push the probe
completely to the bottom of the hole. Cover the hole using the
included yellow plastic cap. Per ASTM F2170, the probe must
remain in the hole for 72 hours to achieve moisture equilibrium
before measurements are recorded.
If using the PosiTector App, touch the circle corresponding to the
hole, and select the serial number of the inserted probe to
associate that probe with the hole.
Record the date and time each probe is inserted by selecting Set
Now to automatically set the current time and date, or input it
manually.
NOTE:
A new battery will continuously power the probe for up to
3 weeks.
Step 5 – Record Measurements
ASTM F2170 requires waiting 72 hours, before probe
measurements are recorded. There is no need to remove the
yellow cap or to access the probes in the holes. The probes
remain powered-on and broadcasting while in situ.
To Record Measurements Using the PosiTector App:
1. Open the PosiTector App and select F2170 from the top
menu bar.
2. Open the associated Project.
