Elitech Digital Moisture Meter MOT-270W User Manual

1. Isingeniso

Thank you for choosing the Elitech MOT-270W Digital Moisture Meter. This device is designed for accurate measurement of moisture content in various materials, primarily wood, as well as concrete, mortar, and brick. Its pin-type design allows for precise readings, while features like a backlit LCD, audible/visual alerts, data hold, and max/min value tracking enhance usability. Please read this manual thoroughly before operation to ensure correct usage and optimal performance.

2. Ulwazi Lokuphepha

• The measurement pins are sharp. Handle with care to prevent injury.
• Do not attempt to measure live electrical circuits. This device is not designed for electrical testing.
• Keep the device away from water and high humidity environments to prevent damage, except during intended moisture measurement.
• Ungabeki idivayisi endaweni eshisa kakhulu noma elangeni eliqondile isikhathi eside.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for a long time to prevent leakage.
• Lahla amabhethri ngokwemithetho yendawo.

3. Umkhiqizo Uphelileview

The Elitech MOT-270W is a compact and robust pin-type moisture meter. It features a clear LCD display, intuitive button controls, and a protective cap for the measurement pins.

Izici Eziyinhloko:

• Pin-Type Measurement: Two sharp pins for direct contact and accurate moisture detection.
• Multi-Material Modes: Dedicated settings for various wood types, concrete, mortar, and brick.
• Isibonisi se-LCD esikhanyayo: Provides clear readings in various lighting conditions.
• Audible & Visual Alerts: Indicates high, medium, or low moisture content.
• Umsebenzi wokubamba idatha: Imisa ukufundwa kwamanje esibukweni ukuze kube lula ukuqopha.
• MAX/MIN Value Tracking: Records the highest and lowest moisture readings during a measurement session.
• Ukuvala shaqa okuzenzakalelayo: Ilondoloza impilo yebhethri ngokuvala ngemva kwemizuzu emi-10 yokungasebenzi.
• Ukulinganisa Okuzenzakalelayo: Ensures measurement accuracy.

4. Setha

4.1 Ukufakwa kwebhethri

The Elitech MOT-270W requires one (1) AAA battery (not included) for operation. Follow these steps to install the battery:

1. Thola ikhava yengxenye yebhethri ngemuva kwedivayisi.
2. Shelelezisa noma uqaqa ikhava ukuze uvule ikhompathimenti.
3. Faka ibhethri elilodwa le-AAA, uqinisekise ukuthi i-polarity (+/-) ilungile njengoba kuboniswe ngaphakathi kwegumbi.
4. Shintsha isembozo segumbi lebhethri, uqinisekise ukuthi sivalwe kahle.

4.2 Amandla Okuqala Avuliwe

Ngemva kokufaka ibhethri, cindezela inkinobho Amandla button to turn on the device. The LCD display will illuminate, and the meter will perform a brief self-test before entering measurement mode.

5. Iziqondiso Zokusebenza

5.1 Ukuthatha Isilinganiso

1. Susa isivalo sokuzivikela ezikhonkwaneni zokulinganisa.
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. The moisture content percentage izovezwa ku-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 button to cycle through the available modes.

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 Umsebenzi wokubamba idatha

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. While taking a measurement, press the BAMBA button. The current reading will be held on the display.
2. Cindezela inkinobho BAMBA button again to release the hold and resume live measurement.

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. Cindezela inkinobho 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. Cindezela inkinobho SET button again to switch between MAX and MIN display.
4. To exit MAX/MIN mode, press and hold the SET inkinobho.

6. Isondlo

• Ukuhlanza: Sula idivayisi ngendwangu ethambile, eyomile. Ungasebenzisi izinto zokuhlanza abrasive noma izincibilikisi.
• I-Probe Care: Keep the measurement pins clean and free of debris. Always replace the protective cap when not in use to prevent damage to the pins and accidental injury.
• Isitoreji: Store the meter in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods.
• Ukushintshwa Kwebhethri: Replace the AAA battery when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure accurate readings.
