Delmhorst Instrument F-2000 - Manual (Page 9)

Test A
h Attach the #831 short pin prod to the H-4 handle and
connect the handle to the external connector on top of the
meter.
h Prepare a representative sample by collecting hay from
various parts of the windrow.
h Place hay in a non-conductive container (such as a 5 to 10
gallon plastic pail) and apply the short pin prod to the hay.
h Press the read key
!
and take a reading.
h Mix the sample once again and take at least two more
readings. Use the highest readings.
Notes
hRepeat the steps above if considerable variations are found
in the meter readings. To reduce these variations, chop the
hay, mix it thoroughly and take several readings by follow-
ing the procedures above. This will make the moisture
distribution in the sample more uniform.
Test B
h Attach the #831 short pin prod to the H-4 handle and
connect the handle to the connector on top of the meter.
h Apply the prod to the hay in the windrow.
h Press the read key
!
and take a reading.
h Make several tests on the hay exposed to the sun, then
turn the windrow over and make an equal number of tests
on the hay that had been closer to the ground. Use the
highest readings.
Notes
hMake sure that the points of the electrode are not touching
the ground. The electrode points should make contact with
the hay only.
