  • Page 8: Resetting The Meter

    Readings above 20% seed cotton will be displayed as a blinking 20.2%. Both the extreme low and extreme high readings should be disregarded.

  • Page 9: Testing Baled Cotton

    Higher moisture readings near the surface are an indication that the cotton has been exposed to higher moisture after baling. The Dj C-2000 provides accurate results on normally compressed bales. If the bale is loosely packed, the meter will read lower than the actual moisture content.
