F200 and F300 User Manual | 25
These two techniques are illustrated below: -
Incorrect Technique
The Platemeter is held above the pasture and
plunged in one movement onto the pasture.
The higher the plate is held and the greater the
force applied, the lower the reading will be.
Correct Technique
Place the plate on top of the
pasture with as little pressure as
possible.
Push the shaft down to ground
level with the shaft vertical.
When using the correct technique, no differences have been
found in the readings between the Platemeter and any
of the mechanical Platemeters. However, operators using
the incorrect technique will get lower readings with any
Platemeter than those using the correct technique.
