4.1 Namestitev baterije
The Elitech MOT-270W requires one (1) AAA battery (not included) for operation. Follow these steps to install the battery:
- Poiščite pokrov predalčka za baterije na zadnji strani naprave.
- Potisnite ali odpnite pokrov, da odprete predal.
- Vstavite eno baterijo AAA in pazite na pravilno polarnost (+/-), kot je označeno v notranjosti predala.
- Ponovno namestite pokrov predala za baterije in se prepričajte, da je varno zaprt.
4.2 Začetni vklop
Ko namestite baterijo, pritisnite Moč button to turn on the device. The LCD display will illuminate, and the meter will perform a brief self-test before entering measurement mode.
5. Navodila za uporabo
5.1 Merjenje
- Odstranite zaščitni pokrovček z merilnih zatičev.
- Select the appropriate material mode (see Section 5.2).
- Firmly press the two measurement pins into the material you wish to test. Ensure both pins penetrate the surface to obtain an accurate reading.
- The moisture content percentage bo prikazan na LCD-prikazovalniku.
- For materials where readings might fluctuate quickly, consider using the Data Hold or MAX/MIN functions (see Section 5.3).
- Po meritvi previdno izvlecite zatiče in namestite zaščitni pokrovček.
5.2 Material Modes (Measurement Gears)
The MOT-270W features multiple measurement modes, sometimes referred to as "gears," to provide accurate readings for different materials. Press the M gumb za preklapljanje med razpoložljivimi načini.

Figure 3: Material modes (gears) for various wood types and construction materials.
The modes are categorized as follows:
| Način | Vrste materiala |
|---|---|
| 1. razred | Rhodes west teak, Ormosia hosiei, Brazil walnut tree |
| 2. razred | Walnut tree, Apitong, White poplar, Teak |
| 3. razred | Banya pine, Douglas fir/D-fir, Lauan, Manchurian ash, European-silver, Maple, White ash, Rose-wood, African whitewood, Gmelina-chinensis benth, Hemlock, Dipterocarpus, Oak |
| 4. razred | Chinese red pine, Coquito, Abies holophylla maxim, Larch, Apitong, Birch, Basswood |
| Način A | Karstenit |
| Način B | Cementna malta |
| Način C | Apnena malta |
| Način D | Opeka |
Select the mode that best matches the material you are testing for the most accurate results. If your specific wood type is not listed, choose the grade that corresponds to a similar density or common usage (e.g., Grade 3 is often suitable for many common woods).
5.3 Data Functions
5.3.1 Funkcija zadrževanja podatkov
The Data Hold function allows you to freeze the current measurement on the display, which is useful when taking readings in hard-to-reach areas or when the value is fluctuating.
- Med merjenjem pritisnite PRIDRŽI button. The current reading will be held on the display.
- Pritisnite PRIDRŽI button again to release the hold and resume live measurement.

Figure 4: Using the Data Hold function to retain a measurement.
5.3.2 MAX/MIN Value Tracking
This function allows you to track the maximum and minimum moisture content detected during a measurement session.
- Pritisnite NASTAVI button to activate MAX/MIN mode. The display will show "MAX" or "MIN".
- As you take measurements, the display will update to show the highest (MAX) or lowest (MIN) value recorded.
- Pritisnite NASTAVI button again to switch between MAX and MIN display.
- To exit MAX/MIN mode, press and hold the NASTAVI gumb.

6. Vzdrževanje
- Čiščenje: Napravo obrišite z mehko, suho krpo. Ne uporabljajte abrazivnih čistil ali topil.
- Skrb za sondo: Keep the measurement pins clean and free of debris. Always replace the protective cap when not in use to prevent damage to the pins and accidental injury.
- Shranjevanje: Store the meter in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods.
- Zamenjava baterije: Replace the AAA battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure accurate readings.
7. Odpravljanje težav
| Težava | Možen vzrok | rešitev |
|---|---|---|
| Display shows "0" or fluctuates rapidly after measurement. | Pins not making consistent contact; reading not held. | Ensure pins are firmly pressed into the material. Use the PRIDRŽI button to freeze the reading or NASTAVI button for MAX/MIN tracking. |
| Nedosledne ali netočne odčitke. | Incorrect material mode selected; insufficient pin penetration; low battery. | Verify the correct material mode (Grade/Letter) is selected. Ensure pins penetrate adequately. Replace battery if low battery indicator is present. |
| Naprava se ne vklopi. | Prazna ali nepravilno nameščena baterija. | Preverite polarnost baterij. Zamenjajte z novo baterijo AAA. |
| Display is dim or hard to read in low light. | No backlight or backlight not activated. | The MOT-270W features a backlit LCD. If it's dim, ensure the battery is not low. If the issue persists, contact support. |
