will show the actual moisture content of the sample e.g. 14.5%. The
right side of the display will show the average of the last 4
measurements e.g. %14.8%.

A new reading can be made by emptying and cleaning the test cell and
filling it with a new sample. Do not re-test the sample without emptying
and refilling.
Note 1: To ensure accurate repeat measurements, clean both grinder
discs thoroughly with the supplied wire cleaning brush after each
measurement. Remnants of sticky or moist material can be removed by
grinding a dry grain sample.
Note 2: When grinding crops with high water content there may be a
risk of the two grinder discs touching one another so that the display
reads
Hi
. If this happens, carry out a new measurement with an
increased sample size. Try with approx. 2-3 ml more than the quantity
specified in the display. In particular, when measuring maize with more
than 20 % moisture (and some grass types), 18ml (2x9 ml) must be
measured out for grinding, as stated in the display.
Using the averaging facility
1. Due to the changing nature of grain when being harvested or dried, it is
recommended to take several readings. These will automatically be
used to create an average reading.
2. It is recommended to take 3-5 measurements from the same batch of
grain and use the average as the true moisture content of the grain.
3. Remember to empty, clean and refill the test cell between each reading.
To clear the stored average value
1. Turn on the meter by pressing ON/TEST.
2. When
MEASURE
appears in the display use the arrow keys
or
until

is displayed.
3. Accept this choice by pressing ON/TEST.

To turn off the meter
Press the ESC/OFF button and hold it down until the meter has turned off.
The meter will automatically turn off after 90 seconds if no button has been
