- carrying strap
- operating instructions
- 9 V 6F22 battery (installed).
2. Usage
2.1. Preparation for the measurement
Important: The scales of Wile- moisture meter are developed to
measure the quality of standard grain. Exceptional growth
conditions and new sorts of grain can considerably affect grain
features. Therefore, before the new harvest season we recommend
to check the readings of your meter against an oven dried sample.
Always take measurements of several samples and calculate the
moisture content of the load by calculating the average of those
measurements. If the measurement result is different, adjust the
result according to the instructions in paragraph 3.4. This is
especially important when you handle a lot of grain.
If the meter has not been used for some time, follow these steps:
- replace the battery (for more details see paragraph 5. Battery)
- read the operating instructions thoroughly
- make sure that the measuring cup is empty and clean
- if needed clean the measurement cup with a wood stick or
tough brush.
2.2. Taking the sample
- Always take the samples from different places of the load. We
recommend taking at least five samples. Define the moisture
content of the load by calculating the average value of those five
measurements.
- Remove scrap, green and other exceptional grains from the
4
EN
samples.
- When taking the sample directly from the dryer wait until the
temperature compensation is done or pre-warm the measuring cup
with warm grain.
- Remember that the moisture inside the load in the grain dryer
varies until the final stage of the drying process.
2.3. Filling the measuring cup
- fill the measuring cup one quarter with grain (1)
- gently shake the meter (grains will settle tighter in the
measuring cup) (2)
- fill the measuring cup to the brim (3)
- wipe off excess grain (4)
- twist and tighten the cap until the center of the cap is on the
same level with the cap's surface (5,6).
2.4. Quick measurement instructions
Switch on the meter with a single press on the P-button. The 5
EN
number of the selected scale (grain) will appear on the display. After
that the meter will automatically calculate the measurement and in a
moment the result of the measurement (moisture content) will be
displayed. The meter automatically compensates the temperature
difference between grain and the meter. After the measurement the
meter will automatically turn off and will be ready for a new
measurement.
2.5. Measurement step by step
Switch on the meter with a single press on the P-button. First all the
used marks will be displayed.
Then the number of the selected scale (grain) will appear on the
display, for example -1-.
The meter will automatically calculate the measurement. During the
measurement you will see run and then the moisture content in
weight percent will be displayed, for example 13.8.
After the measurement the meter will automatically turn off and will
be ready for a new measurement.
You can ensure that the result represents the average quality of the
entire grain load by taking the measurements from several different
places of the load.
2.6. Checking and choosing the scale
Always check that you are using the correct scale. The complete list
6
EN
of scales can be found on the side sticker of the meter. Choose
from the list, the appropriate scale for your grain. There is an
additional -0- scale in the meter. -0- scale is used by Wile service
department to calibrate the meters.
-0- scale is a basic scale which can also be used together with
conversion charts. In this case you make the measurement using
-0- scale and find the corresponding moisture value from the chart.
2.7. Checking the scale
Switch on the meter with a single press on the P-button. Wait the
number of the currently selected scale, for example -1-, to appear
on the display.
2.8. Choosing the scale
Switch on the meter with a single press on the P-button. Wait the
number of the currently selected scale, for example -1-, to appear
on the display. When the number of the scale is displayed, you can
change the scale by pressing the F- button. When the number of the
correct scale is displayed, keep waiting. You will see run on the
display and in a moment the meter will turn off. Now the meter is
ready for use.
2.9. Display the scale adjustment
If you want to adjust the scale or if the selected scale has already
been adjusted, see paragraphs 3.4. and 3.5.

3. Processing the result
3.1. Automatic average calculation
The meter can calculate the average value of several
measurements. After you have made a measurement, the result can
be saved for the average calculation.
3.2. Saving the measurement result for the average calculation
Make the measurement as usual. When the result is displayed,
press once the F- button. A will appear on the display and the meter
will add the measurement result for the average calculation.
The average calculation is ready when two numbers, for example
A05 and 13,8 appear alternating on the display.
The values used in the example mean:
- A05 - the number of measurement results included into the
average value is 5
- 13,8 - the average value of those 5 measurements.
If you do not want to include the measurement result into the
average calculation, don't do anything after the measurement, just
wait until the meter automatically turns off it is then ready for the
next measurement.
Before calculating the average value of every new load of
material, make sure that average calculation memory is empty
and erase it if required.
3.3. Erasing the average calculation memory
Press and hold the F- button. Switch on the meter with a single
8
EN
press on the P- button.
When you see Aon the display, release the F- button. If the average
value appears on the display, you can erase the average by
pressing and holding the F- button. The memory is erased, when 0
and then A00 appear on the display.
Note! Always remember to erase the average memory after the
measurement series so that the previous average value will not
affect the average value of the new load.
Average calculation memory can accommodate a maximum of 99
results. If no more results can be added to the memory, the number
on the display will start blinking.
3.4. Adjusting the result
If the quality of the measured material is different from normal, the
result can be incorrect. You can adjust the result shown by the
meter to conform to a reference value.
Adjusting the value upwards
When the measurement result is displayed press twice on the F-
button. Three bars will appear on the upper edge of the display.
Wait for a moment and the result appears on the display again.
Now each time you press the F- button, 0,1 moisture % will be
added to the result.
Adjusting the value downwards
When the measurement result is displayed, press the F- button
three times. Three bars will appear on the lower edge of the
9
EN
display. Wait for a moment and the result appears on the
display again. Now each time you press the F- button, 0,1 moisture
% will be deducted from the result.
Note! This adjustment is specific to the used scale. In other
words there may be defined specific adjustment for each scale.
3.5. Display the scale adjustment
If the selected scale has been adjusted, you will see the adjustment
displayed after run- text. Each scale can be adjusted for +/- 4
moisture percent. The value displayed may be for example “-.5”.
This value means that the scale was adjusted downwards for 0,5
moisture percent.
When the scale adjustment value is displayed, you can not change
it. You can adjust the scale only when the measurement result is
displayed. For more information see also paragraphs 3.4. Adjusting
the result and 4. Grain properties
3.6. Erasing the scale adjustment
When the moisture content result is displayed, you can erase the
adjustment. To do that press and hold F- button for about 6
seconds. When the result value on the display changes, you know
that the adjustment has been erased.
Always make several measurements, because the moisture
content in the full load can vary greatly.
3.7. Exceptional result
If the measurement result exceeds the upper limit of the
