5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Selecting Measurement Depth

The GMK100 allows you to switch between two measurement depths: 10mm and 25mm. This feature is crucial for accurately assessing moisture at different depths within a material.

• Press the 'DEPTH' button (or equivalent, refer to device markings) to toggle between 10mm and 25mm.
• The selected depth will be indicated on the display.

5.2 Selecting Material Characteristic Curve

The device includes 18 pre-programmed characteristic curves for various materials. Selecting the correct curve is essential for accurate moisture readings.

1. Press the 'MATERIAL' button (or equivalent) to cycle through the available material curves.
2. Each curve corresponds to a specific material type (e.g., different types of wood, concrete, plaster). Refer to the device's internal material list or a separate reference guide for details on each curve.
3. Once the desired material curve is selected, the device is ready to measure.

5.3 Prendre una mesura

1. Ensure the correct measurement depth and material curve are selected.
2. Place the measurement sensor flat against the surface of the material to be tested. Apply gentle, even pressure.
3. The moisture reading (u% or w%) will be displayed instantly.
4. For consistent results, take multiple readings in different spots on the material.

6. Manteniment

6.1 Neteja

• Netegeu el dispositiu amb un suau, damp tela. No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius ni dissolvents.
• Ensure the sensor surface is clean and free of debris for accurate measurements.
