Meter Calibration Adjustment Making Bias Adjustments to the Meter The meter reading can be adjusted to match another meter’s reading. The pre- programmed crop calibrations can be adjusted individually by +/-1.5%, as follows: Measure the moisture content of a sample in the normal way (see page 7) To increase the bias: Press and hold...
Temperature Correction The Importance of Temperature Hot meter, cold sample, low readings Keep meters out of direct sunlight, particularly in vehicles. If not, readings will be too low. Cold meter, hot sample, high readings Grain taken from a high temperature drier must be cooled before testing.
Meter Settings Default Settings The Grainmaster i2-S is supplied ready-to-use with ATC on, no bias adjustments and temperature in °C. To alter default settings Bias is adjusted as described on Page 9. Temperature units can be changed to suit personal preference and ATC can be switched off in Setup Mode, as below: To enter Setup Mode: With the meter switched off, press and hold ...
