TO CHECK STORED
READINGS
This feature allows you to view the total number of all
accumulated readings, the average of those readings, and the
highest stored reading.
h To view the readings press and release the calibration
check button
@
. First the meter displays the number of
accumulated readings for one second, then the average of
those readings for two seconds. Then it displays the highest
stored reading for two seconds. The total “cycle” time is
five seconds.
h To erase all the accumulated readings, hold the calibration
check key
@
for more than 5 seconds until the meter dis-
plays “0”.
h To keep the accumulated readings in memory, release the
calibration check key
@
before the total cycle time is
complete.
The meter will accumulate up to 100 readings. After all
100 readings are stored, it will not add new readings until
the memory has been cleared. It will also continue to display
the average of all 100 readings as a reminder that the mem-
ory is full.
Readings below 6% will be displayed as “.0”. Those above
40% will be displayed as “99.9.” Neither will be added to
the accumulated readings or used in calculation of average or
highest reading.
FACTORS AFFECTING YOUR
READINGS
Because of the many variables that affect the electrical
meter readings, the indicated moisture content should not be
used as an absolute quantitative measurement. Meter read-
ings are very useful guidelines for safe storability of hay.
Meter readings become more significant when they are
considered in the light of the density of the bales, anticipated
handling and storage, and prevailing climate conditions.
