Thank you for choosing Wile 500. It ensures quick and easy measurement of moisture and temperature of baled hay, haylage, straw and silage. Patent pending automatic bale density compensation allows it to determine how dense the bale is and to adjust moisture results accordingly for improved accuracy.
Power on. If fault repeats, take a note of the error code number displayed next to this symbol and contact your dealer or an authorized Wile service partner Measurement memory is almost full. See chapters 7 and 8 for...

3. Result of latest moisture measurement (”---%”, if there is no result yet, or e.g. <8% if bale was too dry to be measured or e.g. >80% if bale was too wet to be measured) 4. AVG: Average of stored moisture results 5.
Measure bale temperature now. Remember that it will take a long time for the probe temperature to reach bale temperature. Use the latest temperature value stored in memory for this bale (only shown if available). Set temperature manually. The core temperature of a large bale follows the average ambient temperature with a delay of several days to a couple of weeks unless a de- composition process is heating up the bale.
Measurement results stored in memory may be transferred to a personal computer using the USB port. Pull out the USB plug and use the supplied cable. Software required for data transfer will be available on our web page at http://wile.fi.
NOTE: Incorrectly performed calibration may weaken measurement accuracy signifi- cantly! Factory Calibration Authorized Wile service can perform full factory calibration, where the device is checked and calibrated at its entire moisture range. Push force measurement and temperature measure- ment will be checked and firmware may be updated.

with the l key. Press the e key and keep it pressed. Press the l key once to power on the meter. Lift the e key when a confirmation screen appears. Accept factory reset by press- ing the p key. Factory reset sets all settings to their factory default values, selects the default language (usually English), clears offset correction of all bale types, erases the entire measurement memory and clears the quick calibration.
When measuring a bale with thick wrapping, puncture the wrapping with the probe tip before measurement to make sure the force required for making a hole in the wrapping will not affect density measurement. Accuracy of the moisture measurement may be affected if a strong heating reaction (“sweat- ing”) is in progress, or if the bale has spoiled, or if the effect of preservatives has not yet fully stabilised.
