1.0 Introduction:
Thank you for choosing the SINAR TECHNOLOGY CP 7070.
The SinarTM CP 7070 Moisture Analyser houses the latest moisture measuring
technology in a compact, portable package. It has been designed to provide fast
moisture results using whole crop samples. In addition to % moisture content, the CP
7070 simultaneously measures and displays the free flow bulk density in grams per
litre, kilograms per hectolitre and the sample temperature.
The CP 7070 is a battery powered moisture analyser with only one operator mode
making the instrument extremely quick and easy to use.
The CP 7070 can store up to twenty-five different crop calibrations. Contact Sinar
Technology or your Sinar agent if your calibration requirements change.
The instrument can transmit data (moisture, temperature and density) using BLE
technology. This data can be used to generate your own quality assurance record.
To make use of the BLE feature you will require the Sinar MLog Application to be
installed on your handset. (Refer to section 10.0 on page 11 for more information)

Using your CP 7070 Moisture Analyser.
6.0 System Power Up.
Your first power up.
Press the “I” key. The CP 7070 powers up in mode 0 showing “0 Reference”in the
display. Use the “Up” (F2) key to step through the crop calibrations.
Ongoing power up’s
The CP 7070 remembers the last selected crop calibration. On power up, the CP
7070 returns to the previously selected calibration.
Always check the correct crop is selected before carrying out a test.
To extend battery life the CP 7070 will turn itself off if a key is not pressed within 3
minutes.

10.0 Activating BLE in CP 7070
BLE is configured and controlled via the BLE Menu shown below. A new instrument
will be supplied with the following default config i.e. BLE turned Off.
If the BLE feature is required, press and release F2 to turn BLE On.
The BLE module automatically starts broadcasting as soon as BLE is powered on.
The symbol in the top right hand corner which is now visible and flashing, indicates
the unit is in pairing mode.
Once the CP 7070 has paired with the Sinar MLog Application the symbol will stop
flashing and become solid.
The symbol is displayed in both the User Mode and the BLE Menu so the operator is
always aware of the BLE status.
Once BLE is switched On (F2) it will remain on until manually switched Off (F1).
Download and install the Sinar MLog Application using the applicable QR Code

11.0 H2O Bias Menu.
The H2O Bias function is used if the moisture reading needs to be adjusted in line
with the reference method or another piece of equipment. The bias should only be
used if the readings are too high or too low by a constant amount over a varying
moisture range.
The H2O Bias menu enables you to independently enter a bias or offset to each
selected crop calibration.
By pressing Bias (F1)the display changes to:-
The display shows that calibration number 1, Green Coffee has been selected for
adjustment. This calibration selection is made in User Mode. See Section 7,
Selecting a calibration.
All bias values will be factory set to zero on shipment.
By pressing the F1 or F2 keys the required +ve or –ve bias value can be displayed.
A positive value will increase the displayed moisture value, a negative value to
reduce it. Each press of the key increases or decreases the value by 0.1%.
When the correct bias value is displayed, press the Exit (F4) key to save and return
to User Mode.
Your bias value for the selected crop has now been stored.
