Temperature Measurement - Wile 26 Gebrauchsanweisung

the material used for preparing the scale affects
accuracy. All scales are based on oven tests using
methods comparable to official standards with
materials which are typical on certain geographical
area. The reference temperature in 25°C when
preparing scales.
4.2 Conditions
The best accuracy can be obtained by precisely
following the instructions of the meter. If the
material under test differs from normal, it may be
necessary to make an adjustment to reading by
user in order to suit the scale to that particular
material. This kind of adjustment shall always be
based on properly made oven tests.
The count of tests needed for an average results is
dependent on the roughness and type of the
material: for example for corn silage more testes
are needed than for haylage. The user should
examine the differences between successive tests
with the material; if the readings are not consistent
with each other, the sampling and testing
procedures should be rechecked and more tests
prepared.
Before taking another tests the previous sample
shall be poured out and replaced with new sample
material.
If the individual results differ less than 2% when
moisture content is below 25% or less than 4%
when the moisture content is over 25%, you can
accept the result for averaging. If the difference is
wider, you should take more tests until you have 3
to 5 results with a reasonable consistency.
Remember to sample all areas of the field that
have terrain changes. Always take several
readings and average those readings to achieve
the most accurate results.

5. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

A meter long temperature probe W-651 is
available for the Wile 26 moisture meter. The
measurement range is 0-60°C and the
measurement accuracy is +/-2°C.
The socket for the probe is in the base of the
meter. The measuring point is at the tip of the
probe and depending on the measured material it
takes a few minutes for the result to stabilise.
Attach the probe to the base of the meter and
choose with the MENU button TEMPERATURE.
Press OK and the temperature result is shown in
