C-2000 manual_2013-Revs_FX-2000 owners manual 1/25/13 11:17 AM Page 10 Readings below 6% seed cotton will be displayed as a negative number. Readings above 20% seed cotton will be displayed as a flashing “20.0%”. Both the underrange and the overrange readings should be disregarded. They will not be added to the accumulated readings or used in calculation of the average or highest reading. Tests made on seed cotton may not be as accurate as those made on lint cotton.

C-2000 manual_2013-Revs_FX-2000 owners manual 1/25/13 11:17 AM Page 12 Temperature Correction The basic calibration assumes the cotton temperature to be 70°F. For best accuracy, apply a temperature correction if the cotton temperature is outside the range of 60°F to 80°F. Make a correction of approximately 1.0% for every 20° F. The meter will read higher than the actual moisture content as cotton temperature increases, and will read lower as cotton temperature decreases.
