6.0 MEASURING RANGE
In the menu item „Valid“ the measuring range of the calibration curve is defined.
A valid measuring value is shown in black in the measuring window. An invalid
measuring value is shown in grey and is blinking when the water content is out
of range.
This feature can be explained best by an example.
Wanted is a valid range from 16.0% up to 45.0% water content.
Enter the following values in the shown order:
Idx(1) Idx(2) Idx(3) Idx(4) Idx(5) Idx(6)
90.0% 45.1% 45.0% 16.0% 15.9% 0.0%
3 3 0 0 1 1
The measuring range should be defined within the area of the measured
samples!
Explanation:

between 0.0% und 15.9% the value is shown in grey  invalid
 between 16.0% und 45.0% the value is shown in black  valid
 between 45.1% und 90.0% the value is grey and blinks  invalid

COMPLETION
If all values of the created calibration curve are stored in the humimeter device,
you can use the new calibration curve for measuring!

3.0 CHANGE THE CALIBRATION CURVE NAME
If the device is unlocked, the menu point
„Materialcalib.“ is available. A list with all
calibration curves is shown on the display!
Choose an “empty” calibration curve, or a curve
you do not need.
Choose the menu item “Name” by pressing the
buttons or and confirm by pressing the button. Your calibration curve
name can contain up to ten characters. Enter the
name using the buttons
or . The name should
consist of the filling quantity and the variety (e.g.
2,50k material). If you press the button for a few
seconds, the fast forward modus will be activated. If
the cursor is in the right position and shows the right
letter or character, press the button. Confirm the
whole name by pressing the button.

TAKE VALUES
Select the menu item “water content” by pressing the buttons or and
confirm by pressing .
There are 8 index points that make up the curve.
It is IMPORTANT that you do not change the first (1) and last index point
(8)!
These values set the measuring range of the gauge within a reasonable limit.
Another important point is that the index points start at the highest moisture
value and run down to the lowest moisture content value.
For example:
Index point [ldx] Voltage Value [V] Moisture Value [%]
1 7.990 99.0
2 4.810 99.0
3 4.800 70.0
4 3.500 47.0
5 2.050 22.0
6 0.452 0.0
7 0.450 0.0
8 0.000 0.0
