Porozit N
How to use my Porozit N?
- Slide the measuring bar upwards to the upper stop until it clicks in automatically.
- Turn on the meter, or if it is already on, push reset to make the display ready. Put the porosity instrument without its top in an upward position under the sur- face needed to be measured.
- Put the top on the magnetic head through the front edge of the top surface of the glider (15-25cm inside) so that the fabric is between the top and the magnetic head.
- Push starter clip to initiate measurement. Make sure that nothing blocks the way of the measuring bar!
- The instrument signals the start of measurement with a sound.
- The instrument issues a sound every 5 seconds after measurement has been finished. Measurement results can be read in seconds on the display.
- Another measurement can only be started after pushing reset.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the rubber sheets on the top and on the magnetic head are free of dust and stains. Smooth the tested surface on the magnetic head evenly, without creases or wrinkles.
When putting on the top, try to fit it on the magnetic head as precisely as pos- sible. Airflow through a wet and damp canopy may significantly differ from that mea- sured in dry conditions. (Especially with older gliders). Do not draw conlusions from one measurement, make at least 6-8 tests on a glider.
The 10000th seconds after reaching the instrument will continue the measurement and the second shows the 10000 second flash.
Where I need to measure?
• On the top surface of your glider, 15-25 cm after the leading edge. We are not measuring porosity on the bottom surface, it makes no sense because it’s not that important as the upper one.
• We usually make 5 measurements. 1 in the middle of the glider, 2 close to the ears (2-5 cells) and 2 between the middle and the ears.
• Pay attention if one of your result is not like the previous ones, do another measure close to that place, because it’s possible there are a small hole what is even not visible.

How should I storage the Porozit?
The porosity meter does not need any special care, but you can keep it in its original-like condition if you follow some simple rules. It is recommended to use only long-life alcaline batteries, or accumulators for power.
Store the instrument in its box or sack, with the measuring bar pulled up, be- cause in this way the rubber bellows will not get slack, and nor will light damage it during a long storage period.
Try not to scratch the rubber sheets on the magnetic head and the top.
If they are stained, clean the rubber sheets with clear water, or silicone cloth! Do the same thing if the rubber bellows should stick together as a result of long storage.
