OWNERS MANUAL FOR F-2000T
(VERSION 4.2 FOR BURLEY TOBACCO)
This addendum is to be used in conjunction with the Owners Manual for the F-2000 Hay
Moisture Meter (attached). This addendum contains information specific to the tobacco
applications. We recommend the user read the Owner’s Manual and addendum completely,
before using the F-2000T.
The meter reads moisture in TOBACCO between 8.0 and 37.0%. It also stores the
reading and displays the average and maximum of up to 100 accumulated readings.
The meter also has a set point and a buzzer. Whenever the displayed reading is
above the set point value, the buzzer will sound. The meter will automatically correct
the input reading for sample temperature, provided that the user has entered the
correct temperature in the meter.
Whenever the battery is removed and then reconnected (i.e when power is applied),
the meter will display the software version number (4.2) for one second and then shut
off if no key is pressed.
The meter has FOUR keys - the “READ” key, the “CHECK” key, the “SET” key and
the “TEMP” key (see the attached diagram).
1. TO RESET THE METER
Resetting the meter will restore the default settings and erase all the stored readings.
Press the “CHECK” key immediately, followed by the “SET” key. The meter will
display “200” for two seconds and then shut off.
2. TO CHANGE THE SET POINT VALUE
The default set point value for the meter is 20.0%. The user can change the value
between 8.0 and 37.0.
Press the “SET” key. The meter will display the current set point value. To increase
the set point, keep the “SET” key pressed. The value will increase in steps of 1.0.
To decrease the value, press the “TEMP” key within two seconds after pressing the
“SET” key. The value will decrease in steps of 1.0.
3. TO CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE SETTING
The meter will automatically correct the moisture reading for sample temperature,
provided the user has entered the correct SAMPLE TEMPERATURE in the meter.
The user can set the temperature between 0º and 255º F.
The default temperature setting is 80º F. The meter will correct the moisture value by
0.05% for every degree change in the sample temperature.
