4.1 Start of operation
Switch the device on with the on/off key. After segment test the device is ready for measuring.
4.2 Selection of the characteristic curve
Selection of characteristic curve: by pressing

Let the Probe adjust to the material for at least 20 seconds to achieve good measuring precision

5 Principles of the measurements

5.1 Moisture rating ( WET - MEDIUM - DRY )
In addition to the measuring value there is a moisture rating via bar graph.
This rating can only be a first approximate value, because factors like the application

field of the measured material have to be taken into account for the final rating.
Experience and knowledge can only be supported by this instrument, not replaced!
5.2 Moisture u and water content w
Either moisture u or water content w is needed according to the application. The BaleCheck 100 is
supposed to be used the unit moisture u (relating to oven-dry mass). In some cases, like rating of
combustibles, the water content w may be more suitable.
The instrument can be configured to both of the values, please refer to GMH 38xx manual.
Moisture u (relating to oven-dry mass) – recommended setting
moisture u[%] = ( (mass
or: moisture u[%] = (mass
The unit is %u (also common: % atro, weight percent)
Example: 1 kg wet hay that contains 500 g water has a moisture u of 100%
Water content
w (= moisture relating to wet total mass, please refer to operating manual GMH 38xx)
5.3 Temperature compensation
The temperature compensation is important for a reliable moisture-measuring.
There for the device features a temperature measuring at the Tip of the injection probe.
According to the selected material characteristic curve the device will use the associated tempera-
ture compensation.
