Centigrade.

NOTE: 

If both switches are pressed simultaneously, the tester 

will not be harmed, but only a meaningless  number will be 
displayed.

1.5 To turn backlighting display option on or off

, press  the 

button above the “Light Bulb” symbol at the same time 
something – anything – is being displayed. Your HT-PRO™ will 
retain  its  backlighting  mode (on or off) until changed  by the 
operator (even if the battery is removed).

2. OPERATING NOTES

1.

Moisture readings  

below 8.0%

  will  be displayed as 

“00.0”

. Readings  

above 45.0%

 will  be displayed as 

“99.9”.

 Temperature  readings  below 0˚C  (32˚F) will be 

displayed  as  00.0. Readings above 99˚C (225˚F) will be 
displayed as  “99.9”.

2.

The HT-PRO™ will display “00.0” in open air. (If open air 
reading of  8.0 is displayed, the tip probably needs 
cleaning. Clean tip and recalibrate tester.)

3.

Temperatures can be measured from 0˚ to 99˚C (32˚ to 
225˚F). Make sure to allow the tip of the probe to adjust 
to the bale temperature. This can take a minute or two.

4.

The tester measures  only  the hay in contact with the 
tip of the probe. Because moisture may vary widely in 
different parts of the windrow, it will  vary within each 
bale.  

Take readings in at least five (5) places in the 

bale, and use the HIGHEST reading as a guideline. 

5.

Consult your local experts for recommended baling 
moisture. 

6.

Your tester is  for reading moisture in hay.  Placing a 
probe in 100% moisture – water–  will  NOT result in a 
reading of 100%.
