2. 0:10hi and welcome to another instrument
3. 0:11choice support video in this video we'll
4. 0:13demonstrate how to set up and take a
5. 0:14simple measurement using the wiley 500
6. 0:17hey moisture meter
7. 0:19first a quick overview of the meter
8. 0:23the wiley 500 features a durable pointed
9. 0:26temperature and moisture sensor
10. 0:31a large lcd screen with the keypad below
11. 0:33this has five buttons these are the
12. 0:36power and main menu button up and down
13. 0:38select the keys
14. 0:39select use this to enter and switch
15. 0:42between temperature and moisture
16. 0:43measurements
17. 0:44and play this is to start a moisture
18. 0:46measurement
19. 0:49on the side there's a usb port
20. 0:57and last of all the battery compartment
21. 0:58is on the bottom of the handle
22. 1:02to get started install the included
23. 1:03battery into the battery compartment
24. 1:07push the battery inwards and downwards
25. 1:09to lock it into place
26. 1:13replace the battery compartment door
27. 1:19press the power key to switch on the
28. 1:20unit
29. 1:25the main screen of the meter displays a
30. 1:26wealth of information including the bale
31. 1:29number and bail type
32. 1:33the measured moisture value this will
33. 1:35show three dashes if no measurement has
34. 1:37been taken or less than eight percent if
35. 1:39too dry and over eighty percent if the
36. 1:41sample is too wet
37. 1:42the ic number below is the bale
38. 1:44temperature is used for temperature
39. 1:45compensation this is not the current
40. 1:47probe temperature
41. 1:48if you have entered a moisture offset it
42. 1:50will appear here
43. 1:52this area of the screen will display the
44. 1:53average value the estimate of the
45. 1:55highest moisture level in the bale and
46. 1:57the end number will depict the number of
47. 1:59measurements used in the average and the
48. 2:00highest moisture level estimate
49. 2:03and there's four navigation buttons
50. 2:04along the bottom we'll run through each
51. 2:06of these shortly
52. 2:09first the button on the right allows you
53. 2:10to choose between temperature or
54. 2:12moisture measurement mode
55. 2:13similar to moisture measurement mode the
56. 2:15temperature screen shows the bail number
57. 2:16and bale type the latest temperature
58. 2:18measurement the three dashes will again
59. 2:20appear if no measurements have been
60. 2:21taken
61. 2:22and to the right the minimum maximum and
62. 2:24memory values will appear
63. 2:27minimum is the lowest temperature stored
64. 2:29in memory the maximum is the highest
65. 2:30temperature stored in the memory and the
66. 2:32mem value is the latest temperature
67. 2:34stored in the memory just a note when
68. 2:36starting moisture measurements this
69. 2:37value may be chosen to be used as bail
70. 2:39temperature for temperature compensation
71. 2:42next we'll run through the main menu
72. 2:43press the menu button on the left
73. 2:46the first three options on the main menu
74. 2:48are data clear options use the up and
75. 2:50down arrows to adjust selections and
76. 2:51press enter to confirm data clearing
77. 2:54choose to clear the average and high
78. 2:56moisture values clear bail this clears
79. 2:58the bale type of the currently selected
80. 2:59bail and erases all measurement results
81. 3:01stored for this bail or select clear all
82. 3:04this clears the entire measurement
83. 3:06memory including all temperature
84. 3:07moisture and bale type selections
85. 3:09pressing the down arrow moves on to the
86. 3:11next screen of the main menu
87. 3:15the first option here is moisture offset
88. 3:17the moisture display can be adjusted to
89. 3:19match an oven test or other reference
90. 3:21method using this setting once set an
91. 3:23offset correction will be applied to all
92. 3:25moisture measurements of the same type
93. 3:27including results already saved in the
94. 3:28memory use the arrow keys to adjust the
95. 3:30offset and confirm by pressing the enter
96. 3:32key
97. 3:35a save symbol will appear on the screen
98. 3:41the next option is to manually adjust
99. 3:42temperature compensation here you can
100. 3:44set the bale temperature for use in
101. 3:45temperature compensation of moisture
102. 3:47management you can choose to manually
103. 3:48set it or choose to have it based off a
104. 3:50measurement
105. 3:51to use either historical or live

116. 4:21the fourth option is average high number
117. 4:23this is the number of moisture results
118. 4:25used in the calculation of the displayed
119. 4:27average and high moisture estimate press
120. 4:29enter to cycle through the options
121. 4:36next is backlight press enter to switch

131. 5:07a quick calibration of moisture
132. 5:08measurement it's recommended that you
133. 5:10perform this after storage of your meter
134. 5:12and it is highly important for the
135. 5:13measurement of dryer bales
136. 5:15to calibrate verify that the probe is
137. 5:17clean and dry
138. 5:18hold the tester so that the entire probe
139. 5:20is surrounded by only clean dry air with
140. 5:22no objects closer than 30 centimeters to
141. 5:24the probe in all directions
142. 5:27start the calibration by pressing enter
143. 5:29and calibration will automatically be
144. 5:30performed
145. 5:34returning to the settings submenu after
146. 5:35calibration the last selection is device
147. 5:38information this lists serial and
148. 5:40manufacturing information
149. 5:48back on the main screen use the up and
150. 5:49down selector keys to browse the list
151. 5:53the first few bails have pre-selected
152. 5:55bail types for ease of use
153. 5:58when you wish to start a new bail select
154. 5:59a bale whose type matches your veil or
155. 6:01one that has no type chosen yet this
156. 6:03will be listed with three dashes
157. 6:05otherwise clear an existing bail as
158. 6:06described in the setup menu
159. 6:08press enter to select the bail that you
160. 6:10wish to use
161. 6:12before taking your measurement you'll
162. 6:13need to set or manually enter the
163. 6:15temperature for temperature compensation
164. 6:18to manually enter a temperature return
165. 6:20to the settings menu
166. 6:21you can also choose to use the latest
167. 6:23temperature value stored or a
168. 6:24temperature value used previously for
169. 6:26temperature compensation these two
170. 6:28options will only be shown if available
171. 6:30or you can measure the bale's
172. 6:31temperature on the spot to do this
173. 6:33insert the probe into the bale let it
174. 6:35acclimatize then press the play button
175. 6:37when on the temperature measurement
176. 6:38screen to take a temperature measurement
177. 6:40press a small save icon to save the
178. 6:42reading to the device's memory
179. 6:47then press back to return
180. 6:49once bail type and the temperature units
181. 6:51are set and measured you can take a
182. 6:53moisture measurement
183. 6:58press the button on the right to move
184. 6:59into the moisture measurement mode then
185. 7:01press play to take a measurement
186. 7:03the meter will ask you to push the probe
187. 7:05into the bale push into the hay bale at
188. 7:07least 15 centimeters after the push has
189. 7:09stopped the device will begin to measure
190. 7:11moisture
191. 7:12just a note if the required push force
192. 7:14is low the push may not be detected in
193. 7:16this case you can force the device to
194. 7:18take a measurement by pressing the play
195. 7:19key again
196. 7:21shortly after the resulting measurement
197. 7:23will display if your measurement is
198. 7:24within range you can store the
199. 7:26measurement by pressing the save icon
200. 7:29and that's how to set up and use the
201. 7:31wiley 500 hay and sillage moisture meter
