Measuring procedure
The general user manual is available at
www.humimeter.com
1. For a correct measurement please ensure that the device has
the same temperature than the material you want to measure
(+/-3°C). For that reason, let your device adjust to the
surrounding temperature of the material for at least half an hour
before measuring (protect from direct
sunlight!).
2.) Switch on the device: Press the key for 3
seconds.
3.) To change the calibration curve, please press
the or key.
4.) Plug the probe into the material. The display
shows the water content immediately.
5.) Pay attention to the direction of plugging in!
(pay attention to the following page!)!
6.) To save the results in the save menu
press the ( button). The storage
was successful when the number in
front of the symbol increased. To
reach the store menu please press ()
until the appears.
ATTENTION! Risk of injury!

Direction of plug in
Insert the device into the bale like shown in the picture below. Any
other direction of plugging lead to a significant deviation of the
measuring results. Pull the unit straight out again. Any mechanical
damage due to mishandling is no case of guarantee.
Round bales have to be measured on the face side. Measurements
at the bearing surface lead to miss readings.
Rectangle bales have to be measured on the face side.
Measurements at the other side can lead to miss readings.
Measuring of loose material
Fix the delivered compression plate like it is
shown in the pictures. Switch to the right
calibration curve (“straw loose” or “hay loose”)
and stab in the material. It is very important
that there is a good contact between the
material and the plate.
These curves should be used before you press
the material to bales.

Determination of the material reference moisture
The humimeter FL2 determines the water content, which means
that it calculates the moisture referred to the total mass:
100% ×
−
=
Mn
MtMn
F
Cooling time
If you measure in very fast intervals and bales with a high density
the measuring head can become warm because of the friction.
These can lead to fault measurements!
Let your device cool down during the measurements.
Digit calibration curve
The digit curve is a unitless calibration curve with a range from up
to 1 % which corresponds to the entire measurement range of the
device. With this curve special products can be measured.
The higher the value is, the wetter the material is. Using a
comparative measurements to a reference method a table with
comparison values can be created with this reference values
very dry: very wet: 1
Mn: Mass with average moisture
content
Mt : Mass of the dried sample
%F: Calculated absolute moisture
(water content) (according to
norm: CEN/TS 14774)
