The probe
1.7.1 The rod probe GR
The GR probe comprises a cylindrical probe-head made of a heat-resistant special-purpose plas-
tic that has a threaded bore for mounting on silo- or housing walls. The actual measuring probe
consists of two parallel, steel prongs that are set into this probe head. The area relevant for mois-
ture measurement surrounds the prongs.

1.7.2 The surface probe GS1
The GS probe has been specially designed for use in areas where probe prongs cannot be in-
serted into the produce to be measured. The measuring electrodes in this probe are sunk into a
rectangular plastic panel. This enables it to be fitted in such a way that it practically becomes a
single entity with the vessel walls, without any protruding elements.

Probes and cables from different instruments are not to be interchanged as this may oth-
erwise lead to discrepancies and deviations in measurements. Please note the serial num-
ber labels!
