Congratulations on the purchase of your Tru-Test EC-09 Plate Meter (plate meter).
This plate meter is a high precision engineered device for measuring the average
height of pasture relative to density of the pasture.
This is directly relative to the quantity of dry matter present (kilograms of dry
matter – kg DM/ha)
Your plate meter will become an invaluable tool in your farming operation for
day-to-day feeding decisions and long term feed budgeting.
Read and understand all the instructions before using the plate meter. A copy of
this user guide can be downloaded from
Your plate meter is designed only for measuring pastures. Use it for no other
purpose (e.g. it is not a walking stick). We have manufactured the plate meter
using quality materials and manufacturing techniques, however, if faults do occur,
have them corrected before you use the plate meter.
Be careful around electric fences. Parts of the plate meter will
conduct electricity!
Store the plate correctly. Be careful that the wind does not blow the plate away - it
could be dangerous. It is not to be thrown.
Water blasting or submerging the unit will void the warranty.
