9. ntroduction Thank you for choosing an AGRETO hay moisture meter You have got a robust tool for daily practice Please read this manual carefully before operating the unit 2 Scope of delivery 1 meter 50 cm measuring lance or 100 270 cm depending on model 1 battery 9V 1 packaging box 1 user manual Seite 3 3 Intended use The HFM II AGRETO hay amp straw moisture meter is designed for measurement of moisture and temperature in compressed hay bales Square bales round bales and large bales by inserting the probe into the bale at right angles To obtain meaningful values the measurement at several points in the ball must be carried out and an average can be formed In practice it is usually not an exact moisture percentage but a review of the barrel in terms of quality and storability The higher values in the ball must be given priority Not pressed material must be compressed before measurement in a suitable form for example by compressing in a bucket To measure the temperature the probe must remain in the material until a constant temperature is displayed User information m Store the device on a dry place Do not immerse the probe in water m Make sure that the lance is not tilted or bent during insertion This is especially true for the long lances 100 270 cm Seite 4 4 Security 4 1 Safety instructions for the buyer Important Make sure that each person who works for the first time with
