1. Place the empty provided cup (0.5 litre)
on the scale and turn the scale on. It
shows 0.0 gram.
2. Make sure that the measuring chamber is
completely empty. It is important that no
material is left in the measuring chamber
when you turn on the device.
3. Switch on the humimeter FS2 by pressing
the power button ( ) for 3 sec.
4. The next step is a self calibration. The
word “reinitialize” will show up on your
display. Accept by pressing the
button.
5. Select the right calibration curve for your
material under test using the buttons or
.
6. Fill up the cup with the sample material
(+/- 1.0g). The filling quantity needed is

Determination of the material reference moisture
The principle is a comparison measurement with the dehydration
method according to EN ISO712. Take the measured sample and
weigh it. Dry it out in an oven and weigh it again.

Exemption from liability
For miss-readings and wrong measurements and of this resulting
damages we refuse any liability. This is a device for the quick
determination of moisture. The moisture depends on multiple
conditions and multiple materials. Therefore we recommend a
plausibility check of the measuring results. Each device includes a
serial number and the guarantee stamp. If those are broken, no
claims for guarantee can be made. In case of a faul

Device maintenance instructions
To provide a long life of your device please do not expose it to
strong mechanical loads or heat e.g. dropping it or direct sunlight
exposure. Clean your device using a dry cloth. The measuring
chamber needs to be cleaned with a dry and soft brush.
Any kind of wet cleaning damages the device. The instrument is
not rainproof. Keep it in dry areas. When the device is not used for
a longer period (6 months) or when the batteries are empty, they
should be removed to prevent a leakage of the battery acid.

! IMPORTANT ! please read
Most common reasons for miss readings
•Product temperature out of application range
Material of a temperature below 0°C resp. above +40°C (32
to 104 °F) may cause faulty measurements. The storage of
cold material in a warm storage area usually creates
condensed water which may lead to major measuring errors.
•Not adjusted material under test
Let your humimeter adjust to the surrounding temperature of
the material for approx. half an hour.
A very high temperature difference has a negative effect on
the stability of the measurement results.
•Wrong calibration curve
Before measuring your sample, please double-check the
correct selection of the calibration curve.
•Wrong filling quantity
Fill in exactly the right weight (± 1.0g) of material in the
measuring chamber.
•Wet or mouldy material
•Stored and fermented corn silage from whole grains may
lead to higher value
•Frozen measuring material
•Polluted measuring material
Polluted material e.g. barley spikes or other material mixed
with the sample has a negative effect on the measurement
