G939 operates between 90 and 240 VAC. CARRYING HANDLE Used for carrying the G939. Caution: before lifting the G939 remove the drawer, because due to the tilt it may fall down. RS232 SERIAL PORT CONNECTOR Data output for printer or PC.
Open the packaging, checking the conditions of G939. Remove the equipment and check whether all its accessories are included. Place the G939 on a stable table, in order to ensure it will not move during the operation. Remove the adhesive tapes fastening the drawer and check whether it slides easily.
100%, and the sample excess shall be removed from the hopper. Within a few seconds, the G939 meter will display the value of product moisture. If the Right hand/Left hand keys are depressed, the G939 meter will display all the measurements made, namely: WHEAT MOIST.: 13.09%...

When the G939 meter is showing the measurement results on the display and a new sample is poured into the hopper, the G939 meter will perform a new measurement, using the same configuration of the previous measurement. If the ESCAPE key is depressed, the MEASUREMENT option will be exited, returning to the MAIN menu.

G939 meter. Now, we will describe each one of these functions. Note that the number shown before each function corresponds to the same shown in the G939 Menu, this way it is easier to identify in the manual where the explanation of each function is.
Go to function “2.1 Date and Time Adjustment” and depress YES; Now use the Right hand/Left hand ARROWS to Increase or Decrease the value of the TIME. When the value is right, depress YES and the G939 will go to the next field to be adjusted;...
Go to function “2.3 Adjusting the Number of Decimal Digits”, and depress YES; Now use the Right hand/Left hand ARROWS to increase or decrease the number Decimal Digits. This adjustment is limited between 1 and 2 decimal digits; Depress YES to complete the adjustment. Grain Moisture Meter – Model G939...
In this mode, measurement data in a report format will be sent, as stated below, through the serial port RS232. If the G939 meter has a built-in thermal printer, this report will be printed and simultaneously sent through the serial port RS232.

Creating new Equations. It is possible, starting from a “Universal Scale”, to create a new equation for a product the G939 does not have. Just set up a table with the readings of the Standard and those obtained in the G939 and in a few minutes you will create a new Equation and you will be able to install in the G939.
How to exit “2.8 Uploading Internet Equation” function This function passes the control of the G939 processor to the computer to which it is connected. Once having entered in this function, we have only two alternatives to exit: Exit with the site commands;...
2.10 Self-report Makes a self-diagnosis of G939, and issues a report with all data. The Report will be sent to serial output RS232 or to the Thermal Printer built into G939. To get the report: Connect the G939; Go to “Configuration” and depress YES; you have to put the Hard Lock in the serial output;...
NOTE: After selected the language run the function 2.9 Uploading standard equations, to get the product names on the selected language. 3.1 RS232 Serial Port Set up the printer or the PC with which the G939 is connected with the following configurations: Serial RS232C Protocol: Baud Rate 4800 bps...

In case G939 is not transmitting data and the PC is not receiving the information, observe the following items in your PC: Verify whether the system is selected to the COM port that is connected to G939. Verify whether the configuration of the PC Serial PORT is in accordance with the above indicatedProtocol;...
The Thermal Printer is an optional feature of G939. There are two options for installing the printer, one is built into the body of G939, which spares space and wiring, in addition to leave the RS232 Serial Port available for PC interconnection.
Chamber could be damaged. To open the door and performing the cleaning: Select “Configuration “ function; Go to function “2.6 Unlocking Chamber Door”; Grain Moisture Meter – Model G939...
Its operation is not affected by dust and the micro-controller is able to detect any failure, showing an error message on the display. In case of any failure, we recommend to return the G939 to Gehaka for the required meter repair and recalibration work.

Service Department. Error 7 - Delta Temp. > 15ºC This error indicates that the temperature difference between the instrument and the sample is greater than 15 ºC. Wait for some minutes with the sample in the G939 drawer so this difference stays below 15 ºC. It is recommended that the sample temperature and instrument temperature shall be as close as possible, whenever possible. If the error persists, there was a failure in the instrument; send the instrument to Gehaka Service Department.

Error 9 – High Sample Weight! After having the sample weight within the limits, a final verification is made after loading; if the amount of sample used is outside the limited that G939 is able to correct, this sample will be unloaded. Increase or reduce the amount of sample to correct the error. If the error persists, there was a failure in the instrument; send the instrument to Gehaka Service Department.
Some of the involved facts are discussed below: We recommend that the product to be measured by the G939 shall be clean and free from impurities that could interfere in the moisture measurement. We should considered that, in the instrument calibration process with the oven, it was always used the product clean.
