3. Walk across the paddock taking readings every few paces. The
counter will beep every time a reading is stored. The average Height
is immediately recalculated and displayed. The number of samples
(plonks) to be taken should range between 20 and 40 per paddock
however this will be determined by the variance existing in the cover.
The counter will give three short beeps when you have completed
29 plonks and one long beep when you reach 30. This is the
recommended number of readings. Plonks need to be taken on a regular
basis e.g. every three paces to even out any variations, however avoid
stock camp areas, tracks, or uncharacteristic areas. The greater the
variability the greater the number of plonks you should take.
4. If you need to negotiate an obstacle (e.g. fence or creek) switch the
counter off so that no readings are taken if the plate moves. On the other
side of the obstacle, switch the counter back on and continue taking
readings.
5. When you have completed the paddock, record the rolling average
displayed on screen. Read off the height of cover.
6. If you have purchased the Pasture App, enter the height against each
paddock in the App.
7. Repeat instructions 4 to 8 until you have completed every paddock.
8. Switch the counter off using the toggle switch at the back when finished
the walk.
Undo Feature: You can “undo” the last plonk or reading by holding down the
“Height” button as you switch on the counter. The count will now be one less than
what it was and the dry matter reading will also change to the previous reading.
You can continue taking more readings if you wish.
