Operation Operation Overview Figure 2: Overview Item Designation Ratchet Measurement cell top part Measurement cell bottom part Measurement device Guide pin LC display Measurement key Product selection dial switch Protect the HE 50 against direct sunlight and extreme temperatures NO TI C E in excess of +50 °C! Under extreme temperature conditions, the LC display on the measurement device may appear darker, making it more difficult to...
Operation Preparation of a sample Optimum measurement results can be achieved with cleaned NO TI C E samples. Extraneous constituents (e.g. stones, straw, husks, weed seeds, green grains or pieces of stalk from maize) must be removed prior to the measurement! The temperature correction is performed automatically.
Operation Filling the measurement cell and crushing Figure 3: Filling the measurement cell Item Designation Item Designation Ratchet Stop pin Measurement cell top part Spindle Milling disk Measurement cell bottom part Fill the measurement cup with the product so it is level with the rim. ...
Operation Only close the measurement cell once as far as the stop. NO TI C E Turning to and fro several times is not required, and can impair the measurement result. Exception: Tough products, see chapter 5.4.3. Insert the measurement cell into the holding device on the measurement device so the handle is pointing to the right.

Operation After approx. 7 seconds, the result is shown with the first two letters of the product: Wh 14.5% Turning the dial switch causes another measurement to be performed immediately thereafter. Pressing the measurement key several times can produce a slightly different result, because the calibration is configured for an individual measurement.
Operation 5.4.1 Moist products Fill a heaped measurement cup with the moist product (e.g. freshly harvested maize, approx. 9 g) and distribute the content in the bottom part of the measure- ment cell. Screw the measurement cell together, open it, empty and clean it. ...
Operation Repeat the measurement. With meal and semolina, use a heaped measurement cup, and with flour and grass seeds, use two heaped measurement cups. Tamp the product in the measurement cup (up to 10 times) and refill it before you distribute the content in the measurement cell.
Operation There are various programs for hops, because hop varieties differ in their acid content. The program selection should be defined with Pfeuffer GmbH before you order the HE 50. Program selection Program Variety, e.g. Hops 1 Tettnanger, Tettnanger Hallertauer, Brewers Gold, Perle...
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning and maintenance Opening the housing and inappropriate operation will invalidate the NO TI C E warranty. To ensure trouble-free operation, it is essential for the HE 50 to be cleaned and maintained at regular intervals. Cleaning Do not use any sharp objects or tools for cleaning.
Cleaning and maintenance 6.1.2 Threads and contact surfaces of the measurement cell The threads and contact surfaces of the measurement cell can become blocked with oily products after frequent measurements. This means the measurement cell can only be screwed closed by exerting increased force. Measure Interval Clean the threads of the spindle on the measurement cell bottom part...
We therefore recommend that this check will be carried out at least once a year, preferably after the harvest period. If you are unsure whether your device is still completely ready for use, Pfeuffer GmbH's professional service team will be pleased to assist you.
Cleaning and maintenance Electrical power supply and battery change A commercially available 9 V battery or 9 V rechargeable battery is required for powering the HE 50. To check the supply voltage, turn the dial switch to "Battery". Display shows: Ba 9.0 V The supply voltage must be greater than 7.2 V.
Malfunctions – causes and rectification C AUTION A non-rechargeable battery cannot be recharged! This can lead to dangerous acid leakage. Acid contact can cause skin irritation, burns and corrosion. Return used batteries/rechargeable batteries to a municipal collecting facility or retail outlet. Disposal as normal domestic waste is prohibited, and represents a violation of battery legislation.
Installing and/or using such products can thus lead to negative changes to the design properties of the HE 50 under certain circumstances. Pfeuffer GmbH cannot be held liable for damage attributable to the use of non-genuine parts and non-genuine accessories. Standard parts can be obtained from the dealer.
Disposal Disposal The HE 50 must be disposed of according to applicable local environmental regulations. Return used batteries/rechargeable batteries to a municipal collecting facility or retail outlet. Disposal as normal domestic waste is prohibited, and represents a violation of battery legislation. Special waste Oil, cleaning agents, contaminated cleaning tools (brush, rags, etc.) must be disposed of according to the local regulations and in...
