Chapter 10 | Remarks - DRAMINSKI HMM Mode D'emploi

• The best accuracy is maintained by keeping
the Moisture Meter clean and free from damage
or extreme temperatures.
• It is essential to take readings at several different
points of the bale. Remember to test not only the
middle but also the sides and the ends of the bale.
• The accuracy of the measurements is affected by
the density of the bale being tested, as density
applies different pressure on the probe and thus
on the moisture and temperature sensors.
• Results are more reliable when the bale is densely
packed as a tightly compressed bale around the
probe enables direct contact between the probe
and the forage.
• Windrow, loose hay or straw should not be tested.

CHAPTER 10 | REMARKS

• After testing bale with a particularly high moisture
content remember to wipe off the end of the probe
to avoid affecting the next reading by the moisture
remaining on the probe.
• When not in use, store the Moisture Meter in a dry
place at normal room temperature. Remember to
protect it against water, especially the probe and
the cable connector.
• Please remove the battery if the device is not
in use for a long time to reduce possibility of
damage of the device by a battery leak.
