Coffee & Cocoa Moisture meter
1. Box Contents
- Wile Coffee - moisture meter
- carrying case
- carrying strap
- operating instructions
- 9 V battery (installed).
2. Usage
2.1. Preparation for the measurement
Important: The scales of Wile- moisture
meter are developed to measure the
quality of standard beans. Exceptional
growth conditions and new sorts can
considerably affect beans' features.
Therefore, before the new harvest season
we recommend to check the readings of
your meter against an oven dried sample.
Always take measurements of several
samples and calculate the moisture
content of the load by calculating the
average of those measurements. If the
measurement result is different, adjust the
result according to the instructions in
paragraph 3.2.
If the meter has not been used for some
time, follow these steps:
- replace the battery
- read the operating instructions
- make sure that the measuring cup is
empty and clean
2.2. Taking the sample
- Always take the samples from different
places of the load. We recommend taking
at least five samples. Define the moisture
EN
5
content of the load by calculating the
average value of those five
measurements.
- Remove scrap and other exceptional
beans from the samples.
- When taking the sample directly from the
dryer wait until the temperature of sample
is near meters temperature.
2.3. Filling the measuring cup
- fill the measuring cup one quarter
with beans (1)
- gently shake the meter (beans will
settle tighter in the measuring cup) (2)
- fill the measuring cup to the brim (3)
- wipe off excess beans (4)
- twist and tighten the cap until the
center of the cap is on the same level
with the cap's surface (5,6).
2.4. Measurement step by step
Switch on the meter with a single press on
the P-button. The number of the selected
scale (see scales from side sticker) will
appear on the display, for example -1-.
Change the scale with F-button if needed,
when the number of the scale is
displayed.
EN

The meter will automatically do
measurement. During the measurement
you will see run and then the moisture
content in weight percent, for example
13.8.
After the measurement the meter will
automatically turn off and will be ready for
a new measurement.
You can ensure that the result represents
the average quality of the entire beans
load by taking the measurements from
several different places of the load.
2.5. Scales
The complete list of scales can be found
on the side sticker of the meter. There is
an additional -0- scale, which can be used
together with conversion charts. In this
case you make the measurement using -
0- scale and find the corresponding
moisture value from the chart. Scale is
also used by Wile service department to
calibrate the meters.
3. Processing the result
3.1. Average calculation
The meter can calculate the average
value of several measurements. After you
have made a measurement, the result can
be included for the average calculation by
EN
7
pressing F-button once while the result is
shown on the screen.
The average calculation is ready when
two numbers, for example A05 and 13,8
appear alternating on the display.
The values used in the example mean:
- A05 - the number of measurement
results included into the average value
is 5
- 13,8 - the average value of those 5
measurements.
To erase average calculation memory just
press and hold the F- button and switch
on the meter with a single press on the P-
button. When you see Aon the display,
release the F- button. Then erase the
average value by pressing and holding
down the F- button. The memory is erased
when 0 and A00 appears on the display.
Before calculating the average value of
every new load of material, make sure
that average calculation memory is
empty and erase it if required.
Average calculation memory can
accommodate a maximum of 99 results. If
no more results can be added to the
memory, the number on the display will
start blinking.
3.2. Adjusting the result
If the quality of the measured material is
different from normal, the result can be
EN
8
incorrect. You can adjust the result shown
by the meter to conform to a reference
value.
Adjusting the value upwards
When the measurement result is
displayed press twice the F- button. Three
bars will appear on the upper edge of the
display. Wait for a moment and the result
appears on the display again. Now each
time you press the F- button, 0,1 moisture
% will be added to the result.
Adjusting the value downwards
When the measurement result is
displayed, press the F- button three times.
Three bars will appear on the lower edge
of the display. Wait for a moment and the
result appears on the display again. Now
each time you press the F- button, 0,1
moisture % will be reduced from the
result.
Note! This adjustment is specific to the
used scale. In other words there can be
defined own adjustment for each scale.
3.3. Display the scale adjustment
If the selected scale has been adjusted,
you will see the adjustment displayed after
run- text. Each scale can be adjusted for
+/- 4 moisture percent. The value
displayed may be for example “-.5”. This
value means that the scale was adjusted
downwards for 0,5 moisture percent.

3.4. Erasing the scale adjustment
When the moisture content result is
displayed, you can erase the adjustment.
To do that press and hold F- button for
about 6 seconds.
3.5. Exceptional result
If the measurement result exceeds the
upper limit of the measurement range, you
will see HI on the display and if lower limit
is reached you will see LO.
If you get HI or LO as a measurement
result check if the correct scale is used.
4. Properties of scales
The scales of Wile Coffee - moisture
meter are developed in accordance with
the official methods of definition of
moisture content. To develop the scales
we use the samples which represent
mostly cultivated varieties in standard
growth conditions.
Exceptional growth conditions can affect
the quality and electrical properties of
beans.
Therefore, before the new harvest season
we recommend to check that the readings
of your meter conform to the result of oven
drying. If the measurement result is
different, adjust the result according to the
instructions in paragraph 3.2. This is
especially important when you handle a lot
of beans or when you suspect that the
quality of beans you handle is different
EN
10
from normal.
5. Battery
The meter runs on 9V battery of the type
6F22 or a similar alkaline battery. The
battery is included in a new meter and is
ready for use.
The meter gives a warning about the low
battery voltage with LOBAT-text in the
upper left part of the display.
If the battery is almost empty, the display
will show some random marks and
LOBAT- text can fade.
Remove the battery from the meter, if it is
not used for a long period of time. If you
suspect a fault in the meter, always test
the battery first. Please note, that a
battery slowly discharges itself even if the
meter is not used.
6. Technical features of the meter
Wile Coffee moisture meter shows the
moisture content of the material in weight
percent. Measurement method is based
on the capacitance measurement of the
material. The repeatability of the
measurement is +/- 0,5 moisture percent
or better
- average calculation
- opportunity to adjust the
measurement result to conform to the
result of oven drying.
Method of moisture content definition is
based on the technical specification ISO
6673.
