This surface should not be vibrating  it can be  but the more stable  the  more accurate the test weight measurement      c  There should not be a fan blowing directly on the test cell    NOTE  If the unit was not stable during the measurement process  a warning  will appear before the measurements are displayed  It is recommended the  tester be on a flat  non vibrating surface for the readings to be accurate     Any of these conditions will result in the grain test weight taking a longer time to  measure and not being as accurate as it can be if these conditions are all met   The entire test cell is sitting on a precision weigh scale mechanism     that s why  its important to keep it stable  and not to drop the unit or damage may occur      FOR BEST GRAIN MOISTURE RESULTS      a  The closer the grain and test cell temperature are to each other  the better  the results     b  The tester compensates for temperature but the grain and test cell  temperature should be within 40 F of each other for best results      c  Use the average feature and always average 3 consecutive tests from the  same grain batch  Grains  such as corn  that have a unigue geometry  can  sit in the test cell slightly differently each time and add some variance in  your results  so averaging 3 readings will give best results     NOTE  Though you can hold the unit in your hand for testing  that is not  recommended since its hard to keep your hand stable and level for the grain  test weight measurement
