If this occurs, change the battery immediately. Continued use with a low battery may cause the meter to go out of calibration. If you have a fresh battery and the instrument still does not indicate an acceptable calibration, return it to DELMHORST for service. See “Service for Your Meter” section.
To erase all the accumulated readings, hold the calibration check button (#2) for more than five seconds until the meter displays “0.” To keep the accumulated readings in memory, release the calibration check button (#2) before the total cycle time is complete. The meter will accumulate up to 100 readings.

Test A: Attach the #831 short pin prod to the H-4 handle and connect the handle to the external connector on top of the meter. Prepare a representative sample by collecting hay from various parts of the windrow. ...
The F-2000 is designed to test moisture in hay over a range of 8%-40%. Readings over 30% should be used only as a qualitative indication of high moisture content. Delmhorst moisture meters use the relationship existing between electrical conductivity and moisture content in hay.
CURING Before proper curing has taken place, wide variations in moisture content should be expected in both recently baled hay and hay in the windrow. These variations will be exposed by meter readings taken on different parts of the windrow or bale. The higher the moisture range, the wider are the variations.

Testing Hops – set meter to scale no 2 The F-2000 enables you to easily check moisture levels in baled hops to assure quality and safe storage. When measuring moisture content, keep in mind the average moisture content is not necessarily a true indication of the safety for storage, as a few wet spots in the hops can cause considerable damage.
CARE OF YOUR METER To keep your meter in good working order: Store your meter in a clean, dry place. The protective carrying case provided is an ideal storage place when the meter is not in use. Change the 9-Volt battery as needed. Continued use with a low battery may cause the meter to go out of calibration.
At our option we may replace or repair the meter. DELMHORST shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages for the breach of any express or implied warranty with respect to this product or its calibration.
