4.3 Luarea unei măsurători
- Power on the meter and select the correct wood group.
- Carefully push the electrode pins into the wood surface to be measured. Ensure both pins penetrate the material sufficiently for good contact.
- Read the moisture percentage displayed on the LCD.
- Pentru a menține citirea curentă pe afișaj, apăsați butonul ȚINE button. Press it again to release the hold function.
- After measurement, gently pull the pins out of the wood and replace the protective cap.
Nota: For best results, take multiple readings in different spots on the material and average them.
5. Întreținere
- curatenie: Ștergeți suprafața contoruluiasinȘtergeți cu o cârpă uscată și moale. Nu utilizați substanțe de curățare abrazive sau solvenți.
- Electrode Pins: Keep the pins clean and free from debris. If pins become dull or damaged, they may need replacement (replacement pins not included with standard package).
- Depozitare: When not in use, always replace the protective cap over the pins. Store the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
6. Depanare
| Problemă | Cauza posibila | Soluţie |
|---|---|---|
| Contorul nu pornește. | Baterie descărcată sau instalată incorect. | Verificați instalarea bateriei. Înlocuiți-o cu o baterie nouă de 9V. |
| Citiri inexacte. | Incorrect wood group selected; pins not fully inserted; pins dirty or damaged. | Ensure correct wood group is selected. Push pins firmly into the material. Clean or replace pins if necessary. |
| Display shows 'Lo' or 'Hi'. | Moisture content is outside the meter's measurement range. | The material is either too dry or too wet for the meter to provide a specific reading. |
| Meter powers off unexpectedly. | Auto power off activated; low battery. | This is normal behavior after 15 minutes of inactivity. If it happens during use, check for low battery indicator and replace battery. |
