Features/ Benefits
Features
- Solid Foundation - It's all about quality. The AM 5200-A is made of heavy metal sheeting and Delrin. The build quality extends instrument life and reduces damage potential during relocation and shipping. It weighs 45 lbs/20kg for a reason.
- Measurement Cell & PC Board - The single piece cast cell ensures accurate measurements of volume/density through precise control of cell dimensions. The RF electronics are built directly into the cell center divide eliminating cabling and removes impedance matching issues over time due to connector degradation.
- Superior Temperature Sensing - A continuous strip of copper (6.8in2) makes contact with hundreds of kernels for a precise sample temperature measurement over a wide temperature range. The large area/low mass means quick response times when there is a large disparity between room temperature and grain temperature, down to -40F. It means better accuracy and shorter analysis times.
- Motor - A single, high quality motor is used in the AM 5200-A. The simplicity of design leads to a longer instrument life and less down-time.
- Auto-Analysis Mode - Our long experience has resulted in an optimised analysis procedure in this 2nd generation instrument. Select the product once, and the instrument automatically begins analysis each time a sample is poured into the hopper. Not only does it speed up the analysis, it saves wear on the touchscreen.
- Lower Cell Door - The door employs a self-cleaning firm "snap action" close and is gravity driven. The "snap action" is designed to shake loose any build-up of material on the lower door. You can be confident the cell volume will not change due to dust build-up resulting in erroneous weight and volume measurements.
- Sample Strike-off - The sample strike-off is critical to controlling flow of product through the instrument. Our design minimises debris build-up in the instrument. Grain is not sprayed throughout the interior. The AM 5200-A uses 3 brushes to direct grain to the collection drawer.
- Connectivity - The AM 5200-A has configurable data output using USB or RS-232 connections. Our Plug and play functionality mimics GAC© systems output for immediate replacement into existing scale software, LIMS, etc. An optional printer is available.

FAQ
What does the Perten AM 5200 measure?
The Perten AM 5200 measures grain moisture content and test weight (hectolitre weight) in as little as 10 seconds. It uses 149 MHz high-frequency dielectric technology for precision, suitable for grains and oilseeds.
How accurate is the AM 5200 compared to older models?
The AM 5200 offers greater accuracy and calibration stability than earlier models like the AM 5100, using advanced temperature sensing and self-diagnostics. It's trusted in commercial labs and grain receival sites globally.
What grains can the AM 5200 test?
It can test wheat, barley, canola, corn, soybeans, oats, sorghum, rice, lupins, and other cereals and oilseeds—depending on calibration setup.
Can the AM 5200 be used at grain receival or storage sites?
Yes, it’s ideal for use at grain receival and storage sites. The durable design and fast 10-second testing make it perfect for high-throughput environments.
What is the difference between the AM 5200 and other grain moisture meters?
The AM 5200 delivers faster results, higher accuracy with 149 MHz frequency, and minimal drift thanks to auto-calibration—outperforming older or lower-frequency meters.
