Yield Monitor 2000
Calibrating Moisture
Ag Leader Technology

Step Action
3 Make sure the moisture readings do not vary more than 4 to 5
percentage points from the different grain samples. If they do, you
may not be able to accurately calculate the actual average moisture.
If this is the case, harvest another load.
4 Calculate the average actual moisture from the readings taken from
the grain samples.
5 Make sure the load for which the moisture samples were taken is
displayed on the top line.
6 Press the MOIST key until “xx.x AVG %” is displayed on the
bottom left line.
7 To calibrate for moisture, use the lower left UP or DOWN ARROW
keys to change the displayed moisture reading on the monitor to the
actual average moisture obtained from the reference moisture tester.
This automatically adjusts the moisture of every previous load in the
monitor for that grain type.
Note: When you change the displayed moisture with the arrow keys,
the monitor automatically changes the “x.x% OFFSET” value under
the MOIST key and vice versa

changing the offset value
automatically changes the displayed moisture readings. Typical offset
values are 0.0

corn, +2.0

wheat, +4.5

soybeans.
Buildup on the
Moisture Sensor
that cause high
readings Make sure the moisture sensor does not have a buildup of sticky material on
it (this can be a problem with soybeans) when you are harvesting the
moisture calibration load. You will know there is buildup if your moisture is
reading 8-10 or more percentage points too high. If you calibrate moisture
when the moisture sensor has a sticky buildup, your calibration will be
inaccurate.
If you have a severe buildup problem on the moisture sensor, follow these
procedures to set those loads to manual moisture. Refer to the Operation
section for more details.
Step Action
1 Press the MOIST key.
2 Use the lower left UP or DOWN ARROW keys to set
“MOIST=MAN”.
