Product Usage Instructions

1. General Note

Please carefully read this operating manual before using the GHE 91 Reciprocating Piston Electrode. Keep this manual near the device for easy reference.

2. Safety

2.1 Intended Use

The reciprocating piston electrode is designed for measuring in split logs, cut wood, and similar materials. It requires an additional display (e.g., GMH 3830 / -50), measuring cable (GMK 38), and measuring nails (GST 91) to be connected.

2.2 Safety Signs and Symbols

Warnings in this manual are labeled with the following signs:

  • DANGER: Indicates imminent danger, death, serious injuries, or significant property damage at non-observance.
  • Caution: Indicates possible dangers or dangerous situations that can cause damage to the device or environment at non-observance.
  • Note: Indicates processes that can indirectly influence operation or provoke unforeseen reactions at non-observance.

2.3 Safety Guidelines

This device has been designed and tested in accordance with safety regulations for electronic devices. To ensure trouble-free operation and reliability, it is essential to adhere to the standard safety measures and special safety advice provided in this manual.

DANGER: Only use this injection probe extremely carefully and keep it out of reach of children to avoid the risk of injury.

3. Operating and Maintenance

Handle the electrode with care, avoiding throwing or hitting it. Protect plugs and sockets from soiling. Ensure that the plastic insulator, including the nail holder, is clean and dry. Faulty measurements may occur if it is not.

4. General Information

4.1 Construction

The resistance between the two measuring nails is measured using the GHE 91 Reciprocating Piston Electrode. The construction includes:

  1. Measuring nails (GST 91, not included)
  2. Nail holder with screw caps
  3. Isolator
  4. Lower limiter
  5. Guiding axis
  6. Sliding hammer
  7. Handle and upper limiter

4.2 Mounting of Measuring Nails

To mount the measuring nails, follow these steps:

  1. Loosen the screw caps.
  2. Insert the measuring nails.
  3. Tighten the screw caps securely using a 12 mm wrench.

FAQ

Q: What is the measuring principle of the GHE 91 Reciprocating Piston Electrode?

A: The measuring principle is resistive material moisture measuring.

Q: What additional components are required for using the reciprocating piston electrode?

A: You need an additional display (e.g., GMH 3830 / -50), measuring cable (GMK 38), and measuring nails (GST 91).

Q: How should I handle the electrode to ensure proper operation?

A: Handle the electrode with care, avoiding throwing or hitting it. Keep the plugs and sockets clean. Ensure that the plastic insulator and nail holder are clean and dry.

Safety

Intended Use

The injection probe has to be used only for measuring in split logs, cut wood and similar. An additional display has to be connected (e.g. GMH 3830 / -50) plus measuring cable GMK 38 and measuring nails GST 91. The measuring is based on electrical resistance measuring. When using the electrode keep the operation hints in mind – otherwise, there is a risk of injury!

Safety signs and symbols

Warnings are labelled in this document with the following signs:

  • Caution! This symbol warns of imminent danger, death, serious injuries and significant damage to property at non-observance.
  • Attention! This symbol warns of possible dangers or dangerous situations that can provoke damage to the device or environment at non-observance.
  • Note! This symbol points out processes that can indirectly influence operation or provoke unforeseen reactions at non-observance.

Safety guidelines

This device has been designed and tested in accordance with the safety regulations for electronic devices. However, its trouble-free operation and reliability cannot be guaranteed unless the standard safety measures and special safety advises given in this manual will be adhered to when using the device.

  • Risk of injury! Only use this injection probe is extremely carefully, keep it out of reach from children.

Operating and Maintenance

  • Treat the electrode carefully (do not throw, hit against etc.). Protect plugs and sockets from soiling.
  • The plastic insulator which includes the nail holder has to be clean and dry, when this is not the case, faulty measurements may occur.

Reshipment

  • All devices returned to the manufacturer have to be free of any residual of measuring media and/or other hazardous substances. Measuring residuals at housing or sensor may be a risk for persons or environment
  • Use an adequate transport package for reshipment, especially for fully functional devices. Please make sure that the device is protected in the package by enough packing materials.

Disposal instructions

The device must not be disposed of in the unsorted municipal waste! Send the device directly to us (sufficiently stamped), if it should be disposed of. We will dispose of the device appropriate and environmentally sound.

Operation

  • Set the electrode with the nails on the measuring spot.
  • Lay Your flat hand on top of the handle
  • DO NOT enclose the handle with your fingers! Risk of injury!

Take the sliding hammer in the other hand:

Keep the hand within the dedicated section with the reduced diameter!

  • DO NOT place Fingers above or below the sliding hammer! Risk of injury!

measuring nails: By hammering with the sliding

  • Drive in
    • hammer against the lower limiter.
  • Measure:
  • connect with measuring cable GMK 38 To the display instrument, take reading disconnect
  • Pull out the nails by hammering against the upper limiter/handle,

Attention: the electrode may jump out of position, keep in a safe position not to get hit. Especially take care in head/face area.
