5. Enstalasyon

5.1 Enstalasyon batri

1. Jwenn kouvèti konpatiman batri a sou dèyè aparèy la.
2. Glise oswa deklipe kouvèti a pou ouvri konpatiman an.
3. Mete twa (3) pil AAA, asire w polarite ki kòrèk la (+/-) jan yo endike anndan konpatiman an.
4. Ranplase kouvèti lòj batri a byen.

6. Operasyon Enstriksyon

6.1 Power On/Off

• To turn on: Press the Power button (⑂). The display will illuminate.
• To turn off: Press and hold the Power button (⑂) for approximately 2 seconds. The device also features an auto power-off function to conserve battery life after a period of inactivity.

6.2 Chwazi Mòd Mezi a

• After powering on, press the MODE button (▼) repeatedly to cycle through the available material modes: WALL, MASONRY, SOFTWOOD, HARDWOOD.
• Select the mode that corresponds to the material you intend to measure.

6.3 Pran yon mezi

1. Ensure the correct measurement mode is selected.
2. Place the back of the meter (the sensing plate area) flat against the surface of the material you wish to measure. Ensure full contact.
3. The moisture reading will be displayed instantly on the LCD screen.
4. Move the meter across the surface to check for variations in moisture content.

6.4 Fonksyon HOLD

• While taking a measurement, press the HOLD button to freeze the current reading on the display. This is useful for reading measurements in hard-to-reach areas.
• Press the HOLD button again to release the reading and resume live measurement.

6.5 Audible Alarm Settings

• The device features an audible alarm that activates when the measured moisture level exceeds a preset threshold for the selected material.
• To adjust the alarm threshold, press the SET button (▲). Follow the on-screen prompts to increase or decrease the alarm percentage.

6.6 Wood Density Adjustment (DEN)

• When in SOFTWOOD or HARDWOOD mode, the DEN button (▲) can be used to cycle through different wood density grades (MBB) for more accurate readings based on the specific wood type. Refer to wood density charts for your material.

7. Measurement Modes and Ranges

The ALLmeter Pinless Moisture Meter provides distinct measurement ranges and visual indicators for different moisture levels across various materials.

7.1 Moisture Level Indicators

• Vèt: Indicates a Dry moisture level.
• Papye jòn: Indicates a Mid-range moisture level.
• Wouj: Indicates a Wet moisture level, potentially requiring attention.

7.2 Measurement Ranges by Material

7.3 Non-Invasive Measurement Principle

The ALLmeter Pinless Moisture Meter utilizes advanced inductive surveying technology. This method allows for moisture detection without penetrating the material surface, preventing damage. Unlike destructive surveying methods that require pins or probes, the pinless meter provides quick and clean readings.
