T OFFSET”. This number is normally between -15% and +15%. If it is
noticeably different, calibrate temperature again.
Recommendation: If the temperature calibration was incorrect and you
correct it, check the moisture calibration again.
4. The moisture sensor or auger tube has accumulated a sticky buildup and
the moisture readings are high.
Solution: Remove the moisture sensor from the auger that fills the
combine grain tank and clean off any buildup of dirt or sticky matter
from the sensor blade. Examine and clean any buildup from inside the
auger tube. Buildup most commonly accumulates in soybeans that have
green stems and weeds that produce a lot of sticky juice, or foreign
material.
Sometimes, buildup is so severe that the moisture sensor will not stay
clean. In those cases, press the MOIST key (with load displayed on the
top line) until “MOIST=MAN or AUTO” appears on the display and use
the bottom-left UP or DOWN ARROW keys to set each load to
MOIST=MAN (manual moisture). Press the MOIST key until “xx.x
AVG %” appears on the display and use the lower left UP or DOWN
ARROW keys to set an average moisture for the load.
5. The ground strap on the moisture sensor is not getting a good ground
connection(moisture reading goes to 5%).
Solution: Examine the ground strap where it is attached to the auger
tube. Ensure that the ground strap touches bare metal where it attaches
to the auger tube.
6. When talking on a business-band, two-way radio, the moisture reading
changes drastically (usually decreasing).
Solution: Try to move your radio antenna and antenna cable as far away
from the moisture sensor and moisture sensor cable as possible. If your
antenna wire must cross the moisture sensor cable, make sure it crosses
at a 90 degree angle.
