Need to calibrate the weight before use
With the instrument in the powered-off state, place it horizontally. Remove all items from the instrument, then press and hold the "Species" button while simultaneously pressing the "ON/OFF" button once to power on the instrument. The instrument will emit a beep.
Release the "Species" button, and the display will show the number "0.00," indicating that it is now in balance calibration mode.
Press the confirmation button once; the decimal point on the display will blink, and the number "200g" will flash, indicating that the 200g calibration weight should be placed.
Carefully place the provided standard calibration weight (or a 200g standard weight) on the black pointed tip at the center of the measurement sensor. Press the "OK" button once more. After the instrument displays the result, power it off to exit. Remove the calibration weight, and you're done.
moisture meter Trait metal sensor, displays measurement results in 2 seconds.
LCD dot matrix display, clear display, easy to operate
Powered by four AA batteries for easy outdoor use
External power supply for easy indoor use

El producto llegó sin el peso de 200 gramos, no se ha podido calibrar para medir la humedad del café, tal como espero, ya que para eso fue que se compró. Quien responde? 😠

Update: I further reduced my review to a one star from two. I thought I could work through the custom setting process and get something that would work reliably with coffee. I was unable. I borrowed two units from neighboring coffee farmers, one unit was a $1,000 industrial unit. Both units came up with consistent results, however this unit did not come close. Also, repeated testing of the same sample produced widely varying results.Original: I would gladly give up the case to get a better functioning meter. The manual is minimal and confusing. There is NO contact address, phone number, or website to ask questions or get advice. There are 20 preset grains, none of which are coffee beans. On the list though are rapeseed and watermelon seeds. Can't remember the last time I had a whole sack of watermelon seeds to test. The listing implies creating one of the four "Custom settings" for grains can be programmed. Problem with this, is you need to know the moisture content of the test sample to check the accuracy, and to do that I need a moisture meter...wasn't that why I bought this? Seems to me the manufacturer could have included a much longer list of "common" grains with suggested settings, for instance saying the rice setting works for coffee. I will eventually get this thing to work. More information would have been nice, or a contact email for questions would have been even better.

With this equipment I can measure the humidity of the grain, its weight, density and temperature. It has been very helpful in my laboratory and coffee roasting.

We use a lot of whole grain to make fresh, homemade bread with minimal gluten. It's always cheapest to buy it in bulk, so we often store a bunch in mylar bags until we're ready to use it. This necessitates knowing the moisture content so we can be sure it's going to be shelf stable for a while. We purchased a mini moisture meter some years ago, and that's been fine, but we wanted something a little more substantial.We saw this and were pretty excited about all of the functions we could use, both for wheat and for oatmeal. Unfortunately, though I read the instructions thoroughly, I had an extremely difficult time understanding them. Because of this, we haven't really been able to use it. I'm sure someone with more experience using these could decipher what to do, but our other one was much simpler, so we don't really know the ins and outs of moisture meters.Sadly, though I'm sure this is a helpful product for someone, unless the instructions are updated, people like me are going to have to do a lot of guessing or give up in frustration.

If you are into mycology, this grain moisture and weight analyser is a great addition. The analyser is capable of testing moisture levels in your grain or seed with about 40 different grain types and a few user defined ones you can set up yourself. That's important in mycology. Testing a sample so you know what moisture levels work best makes for a higher degree of success.Calibrating this analyser is a little tricky however. For my applications, simply knowing consistency between grain hydrations is more important once I know what works best, rather than knowing the analyzed sample reading is off 5%. I can set this to factory and take a reading from a known sample I had success with and make note of that reading. Then I have my baseline. It's simple that way and doesn't rely as much for accuracy as it does consistency.Another nice feature for me is that calibrating weight for sampling is actually quite simple in comparison to calibrating grain or seed moisture baselines. Just use the included 200gram calibration weight and it self calibrates in seconds. The reason you want weight calibration is for density. With that known variable, the analyser can better sample for moisture.All in all, I like it. It's quickly becoming part of the process for me in the lab. Recommended.

A pesar de que el café no está en su lista de granos, logramos calibrarla y así poderla usar. Funcionó perfecto y mi café sale con la humedad deseada.

I LOVE the case it comes in! Makes it easier to bring with in the tractor without worrying about it getting broke or any pieces getting lost orbroken! Plus compared it with 2 other testers and it was spot on accurate!

Soy productor de café especial para exportación. La primera sorpresa al abrir las instrucciones fue constatar que no venía pre calibrado para café. Escribí al distribuidor. Me envió los pasos para calibrarlo. No es fácil porque se necesita otro medidor y muestras con una humedad exacta de 14 y 17% como referencia. De todas maneras las mediciones son inestables. Si el peso de la muestra no es EXACTAMENTE 200 gr, cambia la medición de la humedad y, en varias ocasiones, medimos la misma muestra con intervalos de 10 minutos y las lecturas variaban entre un 5% y un 15%. Para exportar necesitamos precisión. No quedamos contentos con el producto.
