2. Mod Seçimi

The meter offers four measurement modes. Press the MOD düğmesi Bunları sırayla denemek:

• SOFTWOOD Mode: Çeşitli yumuşak ağaç türleri için.
• HARDWOOD Mode: Çeşitli sert ağaç türleri için.
• 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. Tutma Fonksiyonu

To lock the current moisture reading on the display, press the HOLD düğmesi. 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.

Bakım

• Temizlik: Cihazı yumuşak ve kuru bir bezle silin. Aşındırıcı temizleyiciler veya çözücüler kullanmayın.
• Depolamak: Ölçüm cihazını serin, kuru ve doğrudan güneş ışığından ve aşırı sıcaklıklardan uzak bir yerde saklayın. Uzun süre saklayacaksanız, sızıntıyı önlemek için pilleri çıkarın.
• Pil Değişimi: Doğru ölçümler elde etmek için ekranda düşük pil göstergesi belirdiğinde pilleri değiştirin.
• Nemden Kaçının: While designed to measure moisture, the device itself is not waterproof. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or submerging it in liquids.

Sorun giderme

• Cihaz açılmıyor: Check if batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary.
• Yanlış okumalar: 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.
• Ekran boş veya titriyor: Low battery could be the cause. Replace batteries. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Sesli alarm yok: Check if the alarm function is enabled (if applicable) or if the moisture level is below the alarm threshold.
