5.1 Taking a Moisture Reading
- Turn on the hay tester by pressing the Power Button.
- Select a representative area of the hay bale for testing. For accurate results, test multiple locations within the bale.
- Firmly and steadily insert the probe into the hay bale. Ensure the probe penetrates deep enough to reach the core of the bale, as moisture content can vary throughout.
- Hold the probe steady in position. The digital display will show a reading that may fluctuate initially. Wait for the reading to stabilize (typically within 5-10 seconds).
- Record the stabilized moisture percentage læsning.
- Carefully withdraw the probe from the hay bale.
- Repeat the process in different areas of the bale or across multiple bales to get an average moisture content.
