ity is following:
a) Turn on the power supply with the red
"ON/OFF" button.
The name of the device will be shown for a while
on the display and then the model and serial

will always appear afterwards, for example "rye".
b) The appropriate species of grain should be
chosen using "s" or "t" buttons.
c) Having chosen the name press "OK" button.
Under the name there will be the instruction
"PLEASE WAIT" displayed for a short time (dur-
ing this time the device measures the electrical
capacity of the empty chamber).

played the measurement chamber should be

slot until its semicircular edge suits the external
edge of the tube.

entirely filled. The surface of the poured seeds
and the upper edge of the dosage tube should

reading error. Overfilling the dosage tube will
have a weaker influence on the reading.
