This indicates the device is calibrated and ready for use. If an error occurs, ensure the measurement head is clean and fully closed, then try again.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Taking a Measurement

  1. Ensure the device is powered on and calibrated.
  2. Gently open the measurement head.
  3. Carefully insert a leaf into the measurement head, ensuring the leaf surface is flat and covers the sensor area completely.
  4. Close the measurement head firmly until it clicks. The device will automatically take a reading.
  5. The chlorophyll (SPAD), nitrogen (mg/g), humidity (RH%), and temperature (°C) readings will be displayed on the LCD screen.
