How to use the IC-WILE-200 Grain Moisture Tester
Figure 1 Watch an Instrument Choice Sceitnsit demonstrate how to measure grain quality using the IC-WILE-200here.
How to use the IC-WILE-200 Grain Moisture Tester
- Insert the four included AA batteries into the battery compartment.
- Ensure the tester is on a stable and relatively level surface.
- Press the power button to switch on the unit. This step takes only a few seconds, so be ready to take your first-grain moisture measurements.
- On the top left of your screen, you will see the current grain measurement setting. To change grain selection, press the up/down arrows to move through the list of seeds and grains.
- Select the grain you wish to measure, then press the green enter key to confirm. Your choice will appear on the top left of the measurement screen.
- Press the green enter button again to start your testing.
- Firmly push-in the hopper slider to prevent sample grain from dropping into the testing area, then fill the hopper to the rim with your grain sample.
- When the hopper is full, pull the slider out to allow the grain to fall evenly onto the testing cell.
- When prompted on the LCD, remove the hopper. Do this by pulling the handle towards the front of the unit and unclipping the hopper.
- The screen will prompt you to level the grain in the test cell. To do this, push the handle in steady motion towards the unit's back and then forward again.
- When the brush returns to the starting position, the meter will automatically begin calculating the moisture content.
- Within seconds the following information will appear on the LCD;
- Measurement grain type
- The total number of tests taken to calculate the average
- The average moisture percentage
- Sample temperature
- Test weight, expressed in kilograms per hectolitre (kg/hL); and
- The resulting determination of grain moisture content.
