A new moisture calibration requires the user to select and execute ‘

Initialize

’ after which 

the data type had been selected.  The Initialize feature erases the old calibration from the 
SS-LRX memory.  If the initialization is not done, the new moisture points will be added to 
the existing calibration causing inaccuracies.  Highlight the Initialize option and press the 
EXE key.

The ‘MST 1’ indicates the data being calibrated and the ‘New 1’ represents the point of 
the calibration.

To calibrate the moisture reading the user will need to use several samples of grain, each 
with a known moisture percentage.  The moisture contents of these samples should be 
determined using the ASAE dry down method or a calibrated moisture meter such as the 
Dickey-john GAC 2000.  To develop the most accurate curve inside the Seed Spector 
LRX, it’s recommended that the lowest moisture sample be inputted first.  The next 
sample needs the highest moisture, which should represent the highest moistures 
measured in the field during harvest.  After these two samples have been entered, the 
remaining grain samples can be input at random.  A minimum of two samples is required 
for a valid calibration. Three or four samples shoud be used, if a wide range of moistures 
is being harvested. Adjacent samples should be no closer than 3-4% in absolute 
moisture.
