OPERATION

CHANGING SET-POINT

To change the set-point value, press the 

Set-Point Increase

 button. The 

meter will display the current set-point. To scroll forward to a higher value, 
hold the 

Set-Point Increase

 button while the current value is displayed and 

scroll to the set-point value desired.

To scroll backward through the set-point values, press and release the 

Set-Point Increase

 button. Within one second, press and hold the 

Set-Point Decrease

 button. Continue to hold the 

Set-Point Decrease 

button and the set-point will decrease. 

When scrolling in either direction, release the button to stop at the desired 
set-point. If the meter reads a %MC (percent moisture content value) higher 
than that of the set-point, a buzzer will sound.

CHECKING ACCUMULATED READINGS

This feature allows the user to view the total number of all accumulated 
readings, the average of those readings, and the highest stored reading.

To add a reading to the sum of all previously stored readings, press and 
release the 

Read

 button within 2 seconds. Pressing and holding the 

Read

 

button will repeat the read cycle but will not add a new reading to the 
storage until the button is released.

To view the readings, press and release the 

Check 

button. The meter will 

display the number of accumulated readings for one second, then the 
average of those readings for two seconds. It will then display the highest 
stored reading for two seconds. The total cycle time is five seconds.

To erase all accumulated readings, hold the 

Check 

button for more than 

five seconds until the meter displays “0”.

To keep the accumulated readings in memory, release the 

Check

 button 

before the total cycle time is complete. The meter will accumulate up to 100 
readings. After all 100 readings are stored, the meter will not add new 
readings until the memory has been cleared. It will also continue to display 
the average of all 100 readings as a reminder that the memory is full.

Readings below 6% will be displayed as “.0”. Those above 40% will be 
displayed as “99.9”. Neither will be added to the accumulated readings or 
used in the calculation of average or highest reading.

CHECKING CALIBRATION

Remove the probe from the top of the meter. Press and hold the 

Read

 

button and 

Check

 button simultaneously. The meter is in calibration if it 

displays “12.0” (+/- 0.2) on the scale.
