false ta
Definitions
two conditions in hands or feet can produce an incorrect TA position. The dry condition produces a false high TA. The overly wet condition produces a false low TA. The TA depends on normally moist hands. This does not mean the meter works on "sweat." It does mean the meter works only when there is correct electrical contact.(HCOB 23 Nov 73)
