MADE IN POLAND MOISTURE METER FOR PELLETS PEL-20 USERS MANUAL Application Moisture Meter PEL-20 is designed for approximate measurements of moisture contents in pellets made of sawdust, scobs, wood shavings, hay and straw, dried fruit waste, fragmented waste paper, sunflower hull, buckwheat hull, bran, chaff, sunflower and corn stem, ground grain, rape and soy oilseed cake. It can be used for preliminary measurements of moisture contents of pellets delivered to power stations. As most other moisture meters the PEL-20 measures the resistance of the material. The measurement is done by inserting the electrode into a heap of pellets. Technical data Range Temperature compensation Display Electrodes Electrodes material Power Auto power off Battery life Size 10% ÷ 20% 0 ÷ 50ºC LCD 3 digits 10 x 1000 mm acid-proof steel 12V (battery 23A) yes, after 10 minutes approx. 10 000 measurements 60 x 50 x 1000 (1500) mm - 2 - Moisture contents measurements Conduct the measurement as follows: press and hold the ,,ON/OFF" switch to turn the device on, use the ,,MATERIAL" button to select the appropri- ate type of pellets, use the ,,TEMPERATURE" button to set the approx- imate temperature of pellets (accuracy of ±5ºC is enough), insert the electrode into a heap of pellets and wait until the result stabilizes, read the result. Results over or below the measuring range are indicated as follows: below 10% - LO, over 20% - HI. Exploitation remarks: 1. Do not sway the electrode while inserting it into a heap of pellets as it may break off the measuring tip. 2. The device indicates moisture contents at the location of the tip of the measuring electrode. 3. Conduct several measurements and calculate an average result. 4. The result is influenced (beside moisture contents) by other factors: pellet size, distribution of moisture contents across the grain section, differences in chemical composition between pellets of the same type (e.g. barley straw and rye straw). 5. Avoid placing a ,,cold" electrode into ,,warm" pellets in order to prevent condensation. - 3 - Battery replacement The instrument is equipped with a power level control unit. When the power drops below acceptable level a sign "LO BAT" appears on the left side of the LCD. This indicates that the battery has expired and should be replaced with a new one. To replace the battery: unscrew the plastic cork in the handle of the device (an internal spring will push the battery out), gently sidle the battery compartment out of the handle (but no further), remove the old battery, put the new battery into the compartment (pay at- tention to correct polarization minus towards the spring), push the battery compartment back in and screw the plastic cork back on. Store the device in a dry place.
