  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION. The Sinar™ moisture Analyser houses the latest moisture measuring technology in a compact package. It has been designed to provide fast moisture results using whole crop samples. In addition to % moisture content, the moisture meter also measures temperature. Each instrument can be pre-calibrated with up to seven commodities either chosen from a standard package of programmes or selected from the Sinar™...

  • Page 6: Basic Principle Of Operation

    BASIC PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The design concept of the Sinar moisture meter is based on the simultaneous sensing of capacitance and temperature of the sample being tested, providing a corrected moisture (%) reading in a few seconds. It works accurately on products with a moisture content ranging from approximately 1% to 35% depending on the application.

  • Page 7: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Fill the measuring cylinder to the top with seeds. This guarantees the sensor fins will be covered with sample. Proceed as follows:- TAKING A MOISTURE CONTENT READING. Display shows. - HI - Switch on Select channel 1-7 e.g. 2. 14.5 Press button.

  • Page 8: Using The Average Moisture Content Facility

    A maximum of 254 samples can be averaged. It the AVER button is held down, the display will show the number of measurements that have been made, e.g. Press and hold button. AVER When this key is released, the average % moisture content will be displayed, e.g. 10.6 The average can be reset to zero by switching the analyser off and on or by changing channels.

  • Page 9: Calibration Adjustments

    CALIBRATION ADJUSTMENTS. % MOISTURE CONTENT. Sometimes it is useful to be able to adjust the moisture reading, for instance, when a different oven test is used, or when the particle size of a product is significantly different, or when 2 instruments are checked against each other. However, before adjusting the moisture reading, check that the hardware settings are correct.
  • Page 10 If the average adjustment needed is +0.3% press the up arrow key three times so that the display reads: 11.2 lb/bu Press and hold button, this displays the ADJUSTED channel number kg/hl Release the key and the display will show the adjustment that has been made. In order to check to see whether a channel has been adjusted, proceed as follows Display shows.

  • Page 11: Calibration Transfers

    CALIBRATION TRANSFERS. REMOTE ACCESS MODE. The moisture meter can be put into remote access mode or “PLUG” mode. This is a remote mode to enable calibration data to be imported or exported from the moisture meter to a PC with the Sinar™ MNET™ (Pt No 1900-6309) or e-mail software installed Display shows.
  • Page 12 Display shows. - HI - Switch on both instruments. For both instruments: CAL. Hold down button. AUTO auto Enter password and press button. COPA Press button. AUTO auto By this stage both instruments should be displaying COPA. (This is known as the communication mode).

    On receiving unit. Display Shows. Press channel number, e.g. 7 in which new calibration is to be installed. Press button. AVER On the sending unit. On the receiving unit. PASS After 6 seconds both units will display The transfer is now complete. Switch off both units and remove cable. 5.2.2 CURVE SET TRANSFER.

    AVER On the receiving unit press Sending unit changes to - Receiving unit changes to - PASS When the transfer is completed both instruments will display HARDWARE SECTION. CHECKING HARDWARE CALIBRATIONS. To check that the instrument is in good working order the sensors, (Temperature and Capacitance) should be checked as follows: Temperature: Pour the sample around the sensor covering the fins totally.

  • Page 15: Resetting Hardware

    This is checked using a capacitance reference sample (code 0 sample). Contact your instrument supplier for this sample. Pour the sample around the sensor covering the fins. Press the 0 button and then the %H 2 0 button. The displayed result should be no greater than ±0.3 from the value of the code 0 sample.
  • Page 16 Surround the sensor with a capacitance reference sample (e.g. 28.1). Allow 1 minute for the sensor and sample temperature to equalise. Enter Reference Value (e.g. 28.1). Display shows. Press 2 Press 7 Press once. Press 1. Display shows. lb/bu 28.1 Press kg/hl Enter Temperature.
  • Page 17 Press 1 Press 0 21.0 Press button. TEMP Press and hold until analyser %H 2 0 Bleeps. This completes the hardware resetting. Now check the temperature and capacitance readings. Диаэм - официальный дилер продукции Sinar в России, тел.: (495)745-0508, info@dia-m.ru, www.dia-m.ru...
