Description
How LIGHTNING B Works
1. Mount the sensor on the pressure side of the plunger to assure the hay is compressed.
2. The sensor signal is read 5,000 times per second and the monitor averages 20,000 signals and updates the display every 4 seconds. This allows you to know the moisture in your hay
across uneven terrain and varying drying conditions.
Display Readings
The display reads moisture between 5 and 37 percent. The display has two brightness levels for night and day use. The position switch will display instant or average readings. The connection between the sensor and monitor is a standard RG-11 coax cable.
Warranty
LIGHTNING B Moisture Monitors are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for 3 years. Most 20 year old units are still in service today.
