OPERATION 9

CHANGING PRODUCTS/GRAINS

The M-3G can hold four calibration files. It typically comes from the factory 
installed with three products. This allows one grain to have a low and a high 
range (usually corn). Thus, the M-3G can hold up to four products, fewer if 
multiple ranges are used for a product.

The M-20P can hold 20 calibration files. Likewise, the unit can hold up to 
twenty products, fewer if multiple ranges are used for a product.

To change grains (See Figure 2):

1. From the 

Main

 menu, select PRODUCT and press the 

Enter

 key. 

2. On the

 Product

 menu, select the new grain to be tested and press the 

Enter

 key. If the cursor dwells on a product longer than 5 seconds, a 

detail screen will appear for the product. The product may still be 
selected using the 

Enter

 key, or other products may be selected by 

using the 

Up

 or 

Down Arrow

 keys.

3. The 

Main

 menu will be displayed with the product name listed at the 

top.

BIAS ADJUSTMENT

Biasing is performed by forcing the moisture readout value to the value 
desired (i.e., to match the calibration to grain elevator). This may be 
accomplished if an ERROR 20 (reading below the lowest limit of the 
calibration table) or ERROR 22 (reading above the upper limit of the 
calibration table) exists. The 

Enter

key must be pressed to save the new 

bias information.

The bias value is associated with a given calibration file. Thus, the corn bias 
is unique and independent of the bias of other product calibrations. Each 
bias value is nonvolatile and will be retained during power off and battery 
replacement.

To adjust bias (See Figure 3):

1. From the 

Main

 menu, select BIAS and press the 

Enter

 key.
