Tru-Test EC-10 User Manual page 5

Congratulations on the purchase of your Tru-Test EC-10 Plate Meter. This plate
meter is a high precision engineered device for measuring the average height of
pasture relative to density of the pasture.
This is directly relative to the quantity of dry matter present (kilograms of dry matter
– kg DM/ha).
Your plate meter will become an invaluable tool in your farming operation for day-
to-day feeding decisions and long term feed budgeting.
Read and understand all the instructions before using the plate meter. A copy of this
user guide can be downloaded from www.livestock.tru-test.com
Your plate meter is designed only for measuring pastures. Use it for no other purpose
(e.g. it is not a walking stick). We have manufactured the plate meter using quality
materials and manufacturing techniques, however, if faults do occur, have them
corrected before you use the plate meter.
Be careful around electric fences. Parts of the plate meter will
conduct electricity!
Store the plate correctly. Be careful that the wind does not blow the plate away - it
could be dangerous. It is not to be thrown.
Water blasting or submerging the unit will void the warranty.
