H2 Stationary GrainGage Calibration

8.  Tap the

 Cycle

 button 

. 

Mirus displays the moisture, voltage, bucket weight, and temperature of the sample.  

If desired, tap on the gear icon   on the right for more information about the moisture curve.

Note: Only adjust these settings if a HarvestMaster Field Service Engineer tells you to.

9.  Cycle the same sample through the GrainGage (repeat steps 7 and 8) two more times. This allows 

Mirus to average the moisture readings for each sample. 

10.  Repeat steps 7–9 for all prepared samples. Each grain sample should be cycled 3–5 times. 

11.  Calculate the moisture percentage offsets. 

The adjustment is the difference between the benchtop sensor’s moisture measurement and the 

GrainGage’s moisture measurement. 

For example, Sample One has the following moisture measurements: 

 

•

Benchtop sensor: 18%

 

•

GrainGage: 16.8% 

The adjustment would be 18% − 16.8% = +1.2%
