    5-3. Product number selection Select a product number to be measured from the "Product List". [Note] The method of how to enter product numbers are different between "1 to 99" and "100 to 150 (A0 to F0)". ・ Selection of product number "1 to 99" → procedure below ・...
  • Page 10 • Select a product number "100 to 150 (A0 to F0) to be measured from the "Product List". (1) Press the key, and the product number that was measured last time blinks (in this case, 41). (2) Fo r exa mple, to now me a su re "112 ( B2) MUSK (muskmelon)".
  • Page 11: Sample Extraction

    5-4. Sample extraction (1) Mount the funnel on the manual hopper, and load a sample into the funnel to one-third of the funnel depth. (2) Remove the funnel to eliminate surplus sample and to level off the sample. [Note] Never extract a sample directly with the manual hopper.
  • Page 12: Measurement

    5-5. Measurement [Note] When a volume weight is measured, "Be sure to follow the procedure in section 7-1. page 18 to 20 (to check the accuracy of the weighing scale) before going further". During blinking, do not move the instrument. (1) Make sure that there is no residual sample in the measuring section, and press the key.
  • Page 13 (3) After the decimal point blinks for approx. 5 seconds, the measuring count and moisture content are displayed. Display example : 41 WHEA 1TIMES 13.5% (Product number : 41 WHEAT, 1st measurement, moisture content 13.5%) The measuring count is displayed from 1 to 9. The 10th measuring count is displayed as 1.
  • Page 14 [Note 1] For samples wit h high mois tu r e content , t he mois tu r e (example of below measurement range) content difference among individual grains is large. While t h e mo i s t u r e c o n t e n t c a n b e d i s p l aye d , m e a s u r e m e n t precision is not as good as lower moisture content samples.
  • Page 15 [Note 5] Measurement of pine pulp, cashew nuts, etc. (Items to be measured vary with Instrument versions) For samples that are likely to be caught by the electrode such as pine pulp, break the samples into fine pieces before measurement or eliminate pieces that are likely to be caught before measuring.
