CFP Moisture meter
Hay/silage/straw
Part no.: 5257000500CFP
Further information
- Version:
- Measuring range: 8-72% moisture content
• High-frequency technology for capacitive moisture measurement
• Automatic density compensation: the new device measures the force required to insert the probe. This determines whether the bale has a high or low density. The result is then adjusted to ensure higher accuracy
• Memory for measurement results for a maximum of 64 bales. A total of 1000 moisture or temperature readings can be stored
• USB port for downloading updates or measurement results
• Rubber handle for easier handling of high-density bales
• Offset calibration
• Illuminated LCD display
• Durable stainless steel probe and tip
• Automatic shut-off - Technical data:
- • For hay bales, haylage, straw and silage
• Digital hay moisture and temperature meter with a stainless steel tip for accuracy, speed and durability
• Density compensation: automatic, based on compressive force and motion measurement
• Temperature compensation: semi-automatic, adjustable as required
• USB port for updates and downloading measurement results
• Choose between hay or straw bales, separate mode for silage
• The rubber cover on the handle makes it easier to push the probe into dense bales and pull it out
• Offset calibration
• Backlit, LCD screen
• Automatic shut-off
• Constant reading while probing the bale
Technical specifications

• Weight (with battery): 800 g - Weight:
- 1,53 kg
"With the help of the probe, you can quickly and easily measure the moisture content of hay, straw and silage bales, thereby preventing quality losses from excess moisture content and rot. This means that you can constantly check the quality of your harvest results to avoid losses. You can also set the device for different types of bales with different densities. The advantages of the CLAAS moisture meter Robust probe made of fiberglass in a CLAAS design Measures the moisture content of silage and hay: 10-73% moisture content Measures the moisture content of barley straw and wheat straw : 10-50% moisture content Bale density: 80-330 kg / m3 Large LCD display with 7 segments and a large number Individual settings possible Simple and easy to use Temperature range -15 ° C to + 70 ° C Scope of delivery: Device, 9 V battery, instructions”
