If you wish to change the bale to be measured, press one of the arrow keys u or d to
browse the bale list and the e key to select a bale. The first few bales have pre-selected
bale types for easy access. Whenever you start to measure a new bale, select a memory
slot (bale) whose type matches your bale or one that has no bale type chosen yet, i.e. whose
type is listed as "----". Alternatively, you may choose to clear the bale memory in the main
menu (see chapter 7). The meter will ask to select bale type if it hasn't been selected yet.
Press the yellow measurement key p to start the measurement.

Temperature Measurement

Note: Temperature measurement settling time varies greatly with bale type. Wet and dense
gives faster settling than dry and light. Time after which 90% of temperature change has
been achieved ranges typically from 8 minutes with 60% haylage, to 30 minutes with 16%
straw.
6.2 Moisture Measurement
Unless you have recently measured moisture of this bale, the meter will ask for bale temper-
ature before moisture measurement can start. There are up to 4 ways to give the tempera-
ture, chosen by pressing the key drawn next to each option:
3. Result of latest moisture measurement ("---%", if there is no
result yet, or e.g. <8% if bale was too dry to be measured or
e.g. >80% if bale was too wet to be measured)
4. AVG: Average of stored moisture results
5. HI: Estimate of the highest moisture inside the bale, based
on the stored values within the chosen averaging length
6. n: Number of measurements used for calculation of aver-
age and high moisture estimate
7. Bale temperature as used for temperature compensation of
the displayed moisture result. NOTE: This is NOT the current
probe temperature.
8. Moisture offset correction you have chosen for this bale
type as applied to the displayed result (this area is empty if no
offset correction has been set). See chapter 7.

If you selected temperature measurement, current probe tem-

You may store temperature results to memory by pressing the
e key located under the displayed
sult will then appear on display next to the word "MEM" and
the minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) stored temperature
readings will update accordingly and the
