Moisture Limit Guidelines - AgraTronix AG-MAC PLUS Mode D'emploi

CAUTION: Please treat your instrument with care. Misuse such as tossing or
dropping the unit can potentially damage the weigh scale mechanism or other
parts of this device. Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe out the cell, using extreme
caution no to damage the grain temperature sensor at the bottom of the test
cell. It is important when emptying the tester to make sure there is no grain
lodged in the cell top ring (see page 16 for Troubleshooting).

NOTE: If grain temperature is 40˚F (4˚C) or below, or 110˚F (43˚C) or above,
and the grain moisture is near either the high or the low limit of the tester
(listed above), the tester may reduce its operating limits. That is, if the grain
temperature is 35F, and rye grain lower limit is 7% moisture, then the adjusted
lower limit may now be 8.5% moisture due to the cold grain temperature.
DISCLAIMER: The above moisture limits are approximate values and may
vary. Specifi cations and design are subject to change without notice.
Grain scales will be periodically updated with new grains and limits. New grain
scales and software can be downloaded from www.AgraTronix.com when the
unit is connected to the internet via a computer and USB cord.
