PF3000 Calibrating Moisture
Ag Leader Technology (Harvest Mode)
April 2002 3-9
Important Notes
•
You must calibrate the monitor for grain moisture for each grain type
before the monitor can accurately measure grain moisture.
•
Make sure the temperature has been properly calibrated before
calibrating moisture.
•
You do not have to calibrate for grain moisture at the beginning of the
season to get accurate results, although it is recommended. Once
calibrated, the monitor will automatically correct all grain moistures for
all the loads that were previously harvested of that grain.
Actual Moisture To calibrate moisture, you must obtain an actual moisture for only one load
of the grain you want to calibrate.
Ideally the load should be one to two combine hoppers of grain that varies
little in moisture content.
Use a reference moisture sensor and take readings from several grain
samples from the load.
CAUTION: To prevent death or serious injury to you or others do
NOT enter the grain tank when the separator is running.
NOTE: 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.
