HOLD
-
this is available if readings need to be frozen during measurement.
Activate as follows:
Press during measurement. HOLD will be
displayed. Withdraw the probe from the bale
and the reading will remain on the display.
Reference Measurement
-
this is ideal for when testing a large number of bales.
The meter can be set to show the difference in moisture level from a reference
reading. This makes it much quicker to give an indication of the moisture
variability when doing a lot of tests.
Take the first reading which is to be used as
the reference. While the reading is
displayed, press and hold for 2 seconds
to enter Reference Mode. Take the second
reading. The display will be as shown. The
top number is the second moisture reading
and the lower value is the difference
between the reading and the reference
reading. To return to normal measurement
mode, press again.
Interpreting Readings
Balemaster readings can help a professional make an informed judgement as to
the moisture condition of the bale. Readings are not definitive and can be
affected by external factors such as bale density and consistency.
