EN Operating instructions Wile 25 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1 Box Contets wile 25 moisturemeter carrying case carying strap operating instructions 9v6F22 installed 2 Features The Wile 25 will provide moisture content information for hay silage and forage when measuring bales of hay forage in a bucket and also loose hay There are two different probes available for W 25 Wile 251 probe for measuring bales and Wile 253 dishprobe for measuring loose hay probes needs to be ordered separetly The meter shows the water content of the sample in percentage of weight The definition of moisture is based on measuring the loss of a high frequency alternating current signal capacitance in the sample The repeatability of the result is 2 0 percent of moisture or better Wile 25 meter is calibrated to give uniform results with the official methods that are used for defining the moisture content in hay and silage The calibrations are defined with samples that represent the most common available qualities of hay silage and other variaties of grass Moisture range loosehay 13 85 baled hay 10 73 Bale density 80 250 kg m3 with 10 kg gradueting Features Automatic compensation of the temperature difference of the meter and the environment Average calculation of measurements Adjust calibration to match the meter reading with a reference result 3 MEASUREMENT 3 1 Preparation W2. LOBAT sign at the upper left corner of the display indicates that the battery should be replaced LOBAT Replace the battery as soon as possible If the battery is nearly empty the LOBAT sign may not be seen any more To replace the battery open the lid of the battery compartment in the bottom of the meter Take out the battery and dis connect it from the connector and re connect the new battery and close the lid Always first check the battery if you sus pect any problems with the operation of the meter Please note that the batteries discharge themselves slowly even if the meter is not used 7 Service warranty and storage This product carries a one 1 year manufacturer warranty for materials and workmanship The warranty is valid for one 1 year from the date of purchase on the receipt To claim the warranty the customer should return the defect product to the Manufacturer reseller or the nearest Wile Service Partner at customer s own expense The warranty claim must be accompanied by the description of the fault copy of the sales receipt and customers contact information The manufacturer Wile Service Partner will repair or replace the defect product and return it as soon as possible The warranty does not cover any damages that are caused by incorrect or careless use of the product installation that does not correspond to the provided instructions and other damages which may arise due to causes beyond t
3. Please note It is a good practice to erase the average memory after completing a measuring session This prevents any old values affecting later measurements The avg memory blinks If it is full 4 2 Adjusting the calibration If you have had a sample tested in an oven and the moisture is different to what the meter reads Then you can adjust your meter match the oven test and this adjustment can remain in the settings to change future measurements The calibration can be adjusted up and down 4 2 1 If you want to add the result Press F twice when the result is on the display Three bars will appear on the top of the display and after that the moisture reading Now add 0 1 percent to the result with each press of F 4 2 2 If you want to deduct from the result Press F three times when the result is on the display Three bars will appear on the bottom of the display and after that the moisture reading Now deduct 0 1 percent from the result with each press of F Es Please note The adjustment of the calibration is specific for each probe 4 2 3 Adjustment of the calibration An adjustment to the calibration will appear on the display after the next run E g 5 0 5 per cent units have been deducted from the result before displaying it Please note the proceeding zero is not displayed E g 1 5 1 5 per cent units have been added to the result before displaying it LS 4 2 4 Removing the
4. adjustment Press F and keep it depressed until the reading changes Now the adjustment is removed 4 3 Result out of range HI is displayed if the result is over the upper limit of the measurement range LO is displayed if the result is below the lower limit of the measurement range tol HI Moiture range for loose hay is between 13 85 and 10 73 for baled hay When getting HI or LO result always check that you are using right probe and also do some checkmeasurings 5 Control care and maintenance All Wile 25 moisture meters are calibrated when manufactured Before the season starts check the meters basic functions After pressing P it should read 18 8 8 After that you will see number of the probe the density probes 1 and 2 run result adjustments if done and if probe 1 and 2 are seen in the display Moisturereadings With Wile 251 baleprobe you can check meters readings calibrations Connect the probe to the meter Turn on the meter and coose scale 0 Hold up the the probe in the air Probe W251 needs to be between value 2000 5 that meens betwwen 1995 2005 The biggest reading in the display is 1999 and its followed by 000 003 means 2003 and 005 means 2005 If wierd readings occurs please send the meter manufactorer or wile dealer 6 Battery The meter works with a 9 volt 6F22 battery or an alkaline battery of the same format A battery is included in the delivery
