Navodila za uporabo

1. General Measurement

1. Prepričajte se, da je naprava vklopljena.
2. Place the back of the meter (the sensor area) flat against the surface of the material you wish to measure. Ensure full contact for accurate readings.
3. The moisture reading will be displayed on the LCD screen.

2. Izbira načina

The meter offers four measurement modes. Press the gumb MODE to cycle through them:

• SOFTWOOD Mode: For various types of softwood.
• HARDWOOD Mode: For various types of hardwood.
• WALL Mode: For plaster, concrete, and similar wall materials.
• MASONRY Mode: For brick, stone, and other masonry materials.

3. Softwood Density Adjustment

In SOFTWOOD Mode, you can adjust the density grade for more accurate readings based on the specific wood type. Press the DEN/SET button to cycle through the 9 available density grades. Refer to the 'Softwood Density Grades' table below for guidance.

4. Funkcija zadrževanja

To lock the current moisture reading on the display, press the Gumb HOLD. This is useful for taking readings in hard-to-reach areas. Press the button again to release the hold and resume live readings.

5. Visual and Audible Alarm

The meter provides both visual and audible alerts if the detected moisture level exceeds a predefined threshold for the selected material mode. The analog bar on the LCD will turn red, and an audible beep will sound, indicating high moisture content.

Vzdrževanje

• Čiščenje: Napravo obrišite z mehko, suho krpo. Ne uporabljajte abrazivnih čistil ali topil.
• Shranjevanje: Merilnik shranjujte na hladnem in suhem mestu, stran od neposredne sončne svetlobe in ekstremnih temperatur. Če ga shranjujete dlje časa, odstranite baterije, da preprečite puščanje.
• Zamenjava baterije: Zamenjajte baterije, ko se na zaslonu prikaže indikator nizke napolnjenosti baterij, da zagotovite natančne odčitke.
• Izogibajte se vlagi: While designed to measure moisture, the device itself is not waterproof. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or submerging it in liquids.

Odpravljanje težav

• Naprava se ne vklopi: Preverite, ali so baterije pravilno vstavljene in ali niso izpraznjene. Po potrebi jih zamenjajte.
• Netočne meritve: Ensure the sensor area is in full contact with the material. Verify that the correct measurement mode (e.g., SOFTWOOD, HARDWOOD, WALL, MASONRY) is selected for the material being tested. For softwood, ensure the correct density grade is set.
• Zaslon je prazen ali utripa: Low battery could be the cause. Replace batteries. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• No audible alarm: Check if the alarm function is enabled (if applicable) or if the moisture level is below the alarm threshold.
