2. Usage
2.1. Preparation for the measurement
Important: The scales of Wile- moisture meter are developed to
measure the quality of standard grain. Exceptional growth
conditions and new sorts of grain can considerably affect grain
features. Therefore, before the new harvest season we recommend
to check the readings of your meter against an oven dried sample.
Always take measurements of several samples and calculate the
moisture content of the load by calculating the average of those
measurements. If the measurement result is different, adjust the
result according to the instructions in paragraph 3.4. This is
especially important when you handle a lot of grain.
If the meter has not been used for some time, follow these steps:
- replace the battery (for more details see paragraph 5. Battery)
- read the operating instructions thoroughly
- make sure that the measuring cup is empty and clean
- if needed clean the measurement cup with a wood stick or
tough brush.
2.2. Taking the sample
- Always take the samples from different places of the load. We
recommend taking at least five samples. Define the moisture
content of the load by calculating the average value of those five
measurements.
- Remove scrap, green and other exceptional grains from the
