If the temperature of the grain sample differs a great deal from that of the meter, e.g. when taking
measurements directly from the dryer, it is recommended to preheat the meter as follows:
a. Fill the test cell with the desired crop, grind it and wait approx. 1-2 minutes.
b. Proceed with the normal testing procedure as detailed below.
1 TURN ON DEVICE Press and hold the Power button “ON/TEST”
( by holding the ON/TEST button backlight in the display will switch on).
2 SELECT ‘Measure’ and press the ON/TEST button
Select the crop to be tested by using the arrow keys ⇑ or ⇓.
To select a different crop press the ESC/OFF button to return to MEASURE and use arrow keys ⇑ or ⇓ to
cycle through the options.
3 Fill the sample into the grinder
Using the built-in measuring cups (9ml and 11ml) in the upper part of the grinder to measure out the
quantity required of the crop to be tested. The quantity is shown in the display alongside the crop name
(9ml and 11ml).
4 Grind the sample and press the ‘ON-TEST’ button
Screw on the upper part of the grinder and rotate it clockwise until the two stop pins meet. It is important to
rotate to this point to obtain the correct test result.
Important: Never screw together the upper and lower part of the grinder when the measuring
chamber is empty as serious damage can be done to the fine grooves of the grinding discs.
