Sinar Technology SINAR 6070 Getting Started

5.0 Mode 1b, Bias menu.

The bias function is used if the moisture reading needs to
be adjusted in line with the reference method. The bias
should only be used if the readings are too high or too
low by a constant amount over a varying moisture range.
Please contact Sinar if in doubt.

The bias menu enables you to independently enter a bias
or oset to each selected crop calibration.

By pressing Bias (F1) the display changes to:-

The display shows that calibration number 1, Seeds has
been selected for adjustment. This calibration selection is
made in Mode 0. See Section 2, Selecting a calibration.
All bias values will be factory set to zero on shipment.

By pressing the F1 or F2 keys the required + or – bias
value will be displayed. A positive value will increase the
displayed moisture value, a negative value will reduce it.
Each press of the key increases or decreases the value by

0.1% moisture.

When the correct bias value is displayed, press the Exit
(F4) key to save and return to Mode 1b.

Your bias value for the selected crop has now been
stored and will be applied to all future readings.

correctly mounted

Capacitance reading is too
high (over 100)

Capacitance reading is too
high at low moisture

High moisture reading at
low capacitance reading

Capacitance reading is
too low for calibration
curve (i.e. %MC would be
negative)

Recommended action

Use larger sample (greater
than 115g)

Remount the sample cell

Press the “I ” key. The Instrument powers up in mode 0
showing “0 Reference” in the display. Use the “Up” (F2)
key to step through the crop calibrations.

Subsequent Use

The Instrument remembers the last selected crop
calibration. On power up, the Instrument returns to the
last selected calibration.
Check the correct crop is selected before carrying out a
test.

Mode 0 screen.

Warning – Do not rotate the measuring cell while
placing on or removing from the machine.

2.0 Selecting a Crop Calibration (Mode 0, F1 & F2).

Using the Down (F1) or Up (F2) key, step through
the crop calibrations until the required calibration is
displayed.

3.0 Loading the sample.

Method:

Over ll the beaker with sample.

Using the stainless steel levelling blade provided level o
the sample.

Place the closed loading hopper on the 3 support posts
around the measurement cell. Pour the sample from the
beaker into the loading hopper.

Steady the hopper with one hand and give an upwards
tap to the slider with the other. The slider will snap open
dropping the sample into the measurement cell.

Remove the hopper from the machine.

4.0 Taking a measurement. (Mode 0, F4).

With the sample loaded press and release the (F4) Run key.

Mode 0 screen.

The display will change showing the selected crop on the

top line and Testing...... on the bottom.

After approx 3 seconds the results are displayed.

Note - Displayed units are dependent on model.

To continue testing with the same crop remove the
measurement cell, empty and replace.
Rell the measurement cell with sample, see Section 3.
Press and release the Run (F4) key.
