5.1 Prendre una mesura

1. Traieu la tapa protectora de les agulles de mesura.
2. Select the appropriate material mode (see Section 5.2).
3. Firmly press the two measurement pins into the material you wish to test. Ensure both pins penetrate the surface to obtain an accurate reading.
4. El percentatge d'humitattage es mostrarà a la pantalla LCD.
5. For materials where readings might fluctuate quickly, consider using the Data Hold or MAX/MIN functions (see Section 5.3).
6. After measurement, carefully withdraw the pins and replace the protective cap.

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 botó per anar ciclant pels modes disponibles.

Figure 3: Material modes (gears) for various wood types and construction materials.

The modes are categorized as follows:

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 Funció de retenció de dades

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.

1. Mentre preneu una mesura, premeu el botó MANTENIM button. The current reading will be held on the display.
2. Premeu el botó MANTENIM de nou per alliberar la retenció i reprendre el mesurament en directe.

5.3.2 MAX/MIN Value Tracking

This function allows you to track the maximum and minimum moisture content detected during a measurement session.

1. Premeu el botó SET button to activate MAX/MIN mode. The display will show "MAX" or "MIN".
2. As you take measurements, the display will update to show the highest (MAX) or lowest (MIN) value recorded.
3. Premeu el botó SET button again to switch between MAX and MIN display.
4. To exit MAX/MIN mode, press and hold the SET botó.
