TAKING A READING
Testing Baled Hay
hConnect the probe to the external connector on the top of
the meter
^.
hInsert the probe into the bale.
hPress the read button
!. The meter displays the %MC for
two seconds.
Notes
hThe hay prod is electrically insulated, except at the metal
points near the tip. The moisture content measured repre-
sents the hay in contact with the tip of the prod only.
hPartially cured hay may have wide variations in moisture
content throughout the bale. Readings should be taken in
several different parts of the bale and the highest readings
used as a guideline. The arrangement and compaction of
hay fibers in a bale may have an effect on meter readings.
hIf you are testing high density bales, we recommend using
the H-4 handle with the 830-2 10" prod, 830-3 18" prod,
or the 830-4 36" prod. Using the handle/prod combination
eliminates excess stress on the instrument case that may
occur when trying to insert the prod into a high density or
large bale.
hWhen using the 36" prod, be sure to guide the prod into
the bale with one hand while pushing on the H-4 handle.
