  • MÀXIM: Shows the maximum moisture value recorded during a measurement session.
  • MANTENIR: Indicates that the current reading is frozen on the display.
  • SEC: May indicate a low moisture level or a specific measurement mode.
  • Indicador de bateria: Mostra la durada restant de la bateria.

4. Configuració

4.1. Instal·lació de la bateria

The VOLTCRAFT MF-100 requires 3 AAA batteries for operation.

  1. Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del dispositiu.
  2. Feu lliscar o desenganxeu la tapa per obrir el compartiment.
  3. Introduïu 3 piles AAA, assegurant-vos de la polaritat correcta (+/-) tal com s'indica a l'interior del compartiment.
  4. Col·loqueu la coberta del compartiment de la bateria amb seguretat.

Nota: Always use fresh batteries and remove them if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1. Encès / apagat

  • Per encendre el dispositiu, premeu el botó Botó d'encesa (usually marked with ). The display will illuminate and show an initial reading, often 0.0 in air.
  • Per apagar el dispositiu, manteniu premut el botó Botó d'encesa for a few seconds until the display turns off. The device may also have an auto-off function to conserve battery.

5.2. Performing a Non-Destructive Measurement

The MF-100 uses a non-destructive method, meaning it does not require piercing the material.

  1. Assegureu-vos que el dispositiu estigui encès.
  2. Place the spherical measurement probe flat against the surface of the material you wish to measure. Ensure full contact between the probe and the surface.
  3. The display will show the current moisture reading. Move the device slowly across the surface to identify areas with varying moisture levels.
  4. The reading represents the relative moisture content of the material. Refer to material-specific guidelines or experience for interpretation.

The VOLTCRAFT MF-100 is shown displaying a numerical moisture reading (e.g., 14.5), along with MIN and MAX values, indicating an active measurement of moisture in a material.

5.3. Using MIN/MAX Function

The MIN/MAX function allows you to track the lowest and highest moisture values detected during a continuous measurement session.

  • While measuring, the device automatically updates the MIN and MAX values on the display.
  • This is particularly useful when scanning large areas or when the display is not easily visible during the measurement process.
  • The device may feature an acoustic alarm that activates when a predefined moisture threshold (often related to MAX) is exceeded. Consult the device's specific button layout for activating/deactivating this feature if available.

5.4. Ús de la funció HOLD

The HOLD function freezes the current measurement reading on the display, allowing you to record or analyze it without the value changing.

  • Durant una mesura, premeu el botó botó HOLD (if present, or a multi-function button). The "HOLD" indicator will appear on the display.
  • The displayed value will remain fixed until you press the botó HOLD again to release it, or until the device automatically exits HOLD mode.

6. Manteniment i cura

  • Neteja: Wipe the device exterior with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.
  • Emmagatzematge: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, remove the batteries.
  • Substitució de la bateria: Canvieu les piles quan aparegui l'indicador de bateria baixa a la pantalla per garantir lectures precises.
