Después de instalar la batería, presione el Fuerza 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. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

5.1 Realización de una medición

1. Retire la tapa protectora de las clavijas de medición.
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 porcentaje de contenido de humedadtage se mostrará en 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. Después de la medición, retire con cuidado los pasadores y vuelva a colocar la tapa protectora.

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 Botón para recorrer los modos 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 Función de retención de datos

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. Mientras toma una medición, presione el botón SOSTENER button. The current reading will be held on the display.
2. Presione el SOSTENER Presione nuevamente para liberar la retención y reanudar la medición en vivo.

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. Presione el COLOCAR 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. Presione el COLOCAR button again to switch between MAX and MIN display.
4. To exit MAX/MIN mode, press and hold the COLOCAR botón.
