2. Technical features of the meter
Wile 65 measures the moisture content of
whole grains and seeds. Wile 65 used
together with Wile 651L -external
temperature probe (extra accessory) is
suitable for measuring the temperature of
stored grain and seeds, hay, compost etc.
Technical features of Wile 65 -moisture
meter:
- Direct moisture read-out for 16 different
grains
- Informative alphanumeric display for
easy use
4
EN
- Connector for external temperature
probe
- Automatic temperature compensation of
the difference between the temperature of
grain and the meter
- Automatic average calculation (max 99
measurement results)
- Opportunity to adjust the measurement
result to conform to the result of oven
drying as a reference value or to other
reference value (use Adjustment
-function).
- Quick guide to the measurement on the
side label of the meter
The meter shows the material moisture
content in weight percent. Measurement
method is based on the alternating current
resistance (capacitance). The
measurement repeatability is +/- 0,5
percent moisture or better.
Moisture measurement range:
grain and seeds 8-35%
oil seeds 5-25%.
(for more information see the package
box).
Temperature measurement range:
0-60°C
Method of moisture content definition is
based on the technical specification: grain
ISO 712, oil seeds ISO 665 and corn ISO
6540.
Our method to sample the grain is based
on ISO 950 standard and while handling
the samples we follow ISO 7700/1 and
ISO 7700/2 standards (ISO = International
Organization for Standardization).

3. Usage
3.1. Preparation for the measurement
Important: The scales of Wile- moisture
meters are developed to measure the
quality of standard grain. Exceptional
growth conditions and new sorts of grain
can considerably affect grain features.
Therefore, before the new harvest season
we recommend you check the readings of
your meter against an oven dried sample.
If the measurement result is different from
the reference value, adjust the result to
conform to the reference value according
to the instructions in paragraph Adjusting
the result). Always take measurements of
several samples and calculate the
moisture content of the grain load by
calculating the average of those
measurements. This is especially
important when you handle a lot of grain.
If the meter has not been used for some
time, follow these steps:
- replace the battery (for more details
see paragraph attery)
- read the operating instructions
thoroughly
- make sure that the measuring cup is
empty and clean
- if needed clean the measurement
cup with a wood stick or tough brush.
3.2. Taking the sample
- Taking the sample is one of the most
important steps of the measurement. It is
very important to take a representative
sample, which represents as accurate as
6
EN
possible the entire lot of grain.
- Always take samples from different
places within the load. We recommend
taking at least five samples. Define
moisture content of the load by calculating
the average value of your five
measurements.
- Remove scrap, green and other
exceptional grains from the samples.
- When taking the sample directly from the
dryer wait until the temperature
compensation is done or pre-warm the
measuring cup with warm grain.
- Remember that the moisture inside the
load in the grain dryer varies until the final
stage of the drying process.
3.3. Filling the measuring cup
- fill the measuring cup one quarter with
grain (1)
- gently shake the meter (grains will settle
tighter in the measuring cup) (2)
- fill the measuring cup to the brim (3)
- wipe off excess grain (4)
- twist and tighten the cap until the center
of the cap is on the same level with the
cap's surface (5,6).
Important: Always fill the measuring cup
7
EN
according to the given instructions and
always in the same way. Filling the
measuring cup in a different way can
cause the incorrect measurement result!
3.4. Measurement and functions of the
meter
ress the left Menu -button to list the
options and to select the option. Confirm
your choice by pressing the right ON/OFF
(OK) -button. The text appearing on the
screen will give you more information
about the usage of the buttons.

name of the currently
selected grain will
appear on the display. If
you want to change the
scale follow the
instructions:
Go to the main menu

is displayed. Then keep
pressing the Menu
-button until the name of
the correct grain is
displayed. Confirm your
choice with a single
press on ON/OFF
-button.
Moisture
measurement
Switch on the meter.
When the name of the
currently selected grain
is displayed, press once
the ON/OFF –button.
The meter will calculate
the measurement and in
a moment the
measurement result
(moisture content) will be
displayed. At the same
time the temperature of
grain in the measuring
cup will appear on the
left upper edge of the
display.
Important! If an
external temperature
probe is connected to
the meter, remember to
disconnect the probe
before the moisture
measurement.

display press ON/OFF.
Now the measurement
result has been saved
for average calculation.
If you don't want to
include the
measurement result into
the average calculation,
don't do anything after
the measurement, just
wait until the meter
automatically turns off
and is ready for the next
measurement.
Important! efore
calculating the average
value of every new
load of material, make
sure that average
calculation memory is
empty and erase it if
required.
Checking the

Switch on the meter. List
the options by pressing
the Menu -button until
Average appears on the
display and then press
ON/OFF. The number of
measurement results
saved for average
calculaton and the
average value of those
measurements will
appear on the display.
