    6-2. Measurement Method 1. Press the key to turn on the power. All elements of the LCD will be displayed for approximately three seconds. Subsequently, the “TIMES”, and “%” will be displayed. • If the display shows something other than that described above, there may be a problem with the unit.
  • Page 11 3. Press the key. The decimal point will blink. After about 3 seconds a “beep” will sound and the “Number of measurement times”, “Moisture value”, and “Bar graph” will be displayed. • The key on the left and the key on the right both have the same function so it doesn't matter which one you press.
  • Page 12: Setting The Measurement Mode

    6-3. Setting the Measurement Mode There are two measurement modes: “Normal measurement mode” and “Continuous measurement mode”. Immediately after pressing the key and turning on the power, the unit will be set to “Normal measurement mode”. If the unit is set to “Continuous measurement mode”, measurements can be made without pressing the key for each measurement.

    6-4. Displaying the Average Value When the number of measurements is from 2 to 9, and you press , the “AVE”, “average value”, and “number of measurement times” will be displayed. At this time, the “AVE”, “average value”, and “number of measurement times” remain displayed, but if you proceed to make a measurement, the “number of measurement times”...
  • Page 14: How To Make Bias Adjustment

    6-5. How to make Bias Adjustment The calibration (scale) for this unit was prepared by determining the relationship between the moisture of copra resulting from a drying method and the electrical resistance of the copra, and then statistically processing these results. However, depending on various conditions, there are cases where the standard measurement method and the moisture value do not agree.
  • Page 15: Setting The Alarm

    6-6. Setting the Alarm An upper limit moisture alarm can be set. When copra is measured having moisture higher than the set moisture value, the alarm sounds with a beeping tone. 1. Press the key. The numbers to the right of “ALARM” will blink. 2.

    6-7. Printer Output [Printout example] HX-120 Measured values can be printed out by using the optional printer TIMES (VZ-330). The output content is “number of measurement times”, “moisture value”, and “average moisture value”. 1. How to set up Press the in normal measurement mode.
  • Page 17: Error Display

    7. Error Display When there is a problem with the unit or with the measurement conditions, the following errors will be displayed for 4 seconds, and then the power will turn off. 1. There is a problem with the temperature sensor. Servicing is required.
  • Page 18 3. The measurement cannot be made because the temperature of the unit is below –5°C. Bring the temperature of the unit up to the operating temperature range (0 to 40°C), and make the measurement again. 4. The measurement cannot be made because the temperature of the unit is above 50°C.
