3. Softwood Density Adjustment
In SOFTWOOD Mode, you can adjust the density grade for more accurate readings based on the specific wood type. Press the DEN/SET button to cycle through the 9 available density grades. Refer to the 'Softwood Density Grades' table below for guidance.
૫.૪. હોલ્ડ ફંક્શન
To lock the current moisture reading on the display, press the પકડી રાખો બટન. This is useful for taking readings in hard-to-reach areas. Press the button again to release the hold and resume live readings.
5. Visual and Audible Alarm
The meter provides both visual and audible alerts if the detected moisture level exceeds a predefined threshold for the selected material mode. The analog bar on the LCD will turn red, and an audible beep will sound, indicating high moisture content.

જાળવણી
- સફાઈ: ઉપકરણને નરમ, સૂકા કપડાથી સાફ કરો. ઘર્ષક ક્લીનર્સ અથવા સોલવન્ટનો ઉપયોગ કરશો નહીં.
- સંગ્રહ: Store the meter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
- બેટરી રિપ્લેસમેન્ટ: સચોટ રીડિંગ્સ સુનિશ્ચિત કરવા માટે ડિસ્પ્લે પર ઓછી બેટરી સૂચક દેખાય ત્યારે બેટરી બદલો.
- ભેજ ટાળો: While designed to measure moisture, the device itself is not waterproof. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or submerging it in liquids.
મુશ્કેલીનિવારણ
- ઉપકરણ ચાલુ થતું નથી: Check if batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary.
- અચોક્કસ વાંચન: Ensure the sensor area is in full contact with the material. Verify that the correct measurement mode (e.g., SOFTWOOD, HARDWOOD, WALL, MASONRY) is selected for the material being tested. For softwood, ensure the correct density grade is set.
- ડિસ્પ્લે ખાલી છે અથવા ઝબકતું છે: Low battery could be the cause. Replace batteries. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- No audible alarm: Check if the alarm function is enabled (if applicable) or if the moisture level is below the alarm threshold.
