into a "tight" spot. Your meter will give higher readings in tight bales
than in loose bales.
For best results: Insert the probe into the "tight" side at a 45˚
angle. Do not push all the way to the soft core of a round bale.
Take readings in at least five (5) places and use the highest
reading as a guideline. DO NOT AVERAGE RESULTS.
CALIBRATION
1. Clean the probe tip. Press the moisture button to power on. While
holding the probe in the air, press and hold the √ √ button. The tester
will begin to count down on the display "3,2,1" and the tester will
then display "---".
2. Release the √ √ button and "-C-" will be displayed.
3. Firmly place the calibration clip on to the probe tip as shown in the
clip illustrations and then press the √ √ button.
PRESS FIRMLY
4. The tester will now display 24.7% (±0.2%) and then "CAL"
indicating that the unit is now calibrated.
If the tester displays "ERR" anytime during the calibration
process, this indicates an error has occurred. Try repeating
the calibration procedure starting at Step 1.
BATTERY
1. Battery symbol will be displayed if the battery is running low and
needs replacing. Always use an ALKALINE 9-volt battery.
2. After the battery is replaced, always re-calibrate your tester
(see above).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. After each use, always store your tester in a clean, dry and handy
place.
2. When not in use, keep the device away from sunlight. Long
exposure to sunlight and other sources of UV light may damage
the tip.
3. The metal tip of the probe should be wiped clean between each
use for best results. Clean both parts of the metal tip from time to
time with fine steel wool and/or mineral spirits or alcohol. A dirty
tip can cause lower readings. Keep the tip shiny for best results.
4. Never immerse the probe in water.
5. Remove the battery, if your tester will not be used for several months.
