3.1. componenti
- Spherical Measurement Probe: Used for non-destructive contact with the material surface.
- Schermo LCD: Shows moisture readings, MIN/MAX values, and function indicators.
- Pulsante di accensione: Accende e spegne il dispositivo.
- Pulsanti funzione: (e.g., MIN/MAX, HOLD) for specific measurement modes.
- Vano batteria: Situato nella parte posteriore del dispositivo.
3.2. Indicatori di visualizzazione
- Main Reading: Displays the current moisture value.
- MINIMO: Shows the minimum moisture value recorded during a measurement session.
- MASSIMO: Shows the maximum moisture value recorded during a measurement session.
- TENERE: Indicates that the current reading is frozen on the display.
- ASCIUTTO: May indicate a low moisture level or a specific measurement mode.
- Indicatore della batteria: Mostra la durata residua della batteria.
4. Impostazione
4.1. Installazione della batteria
The VOLTCRAFT MF-100 requires 3 AAA batteries for operation.
- Individuare il coperchio del vano batteria sul retro del dispositivo.
- Per aprire il vano, far scorrere o sganciare il coperchio.
- Inserire 3 batterie AAA, assicurandosi che la polarità (+/-) sia corretta, come indicato all'interno del vano.
- Riposizionare saldamente il coperchio del vano batteria.
Nota: Always use fresh batteries and remove them if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
5. Istruzioni per l'uso
5.1. Accensione/Spegnimento
- Per accendere il dispositivo, premere il Pulsante di accensione (usually marked with ⑂). The display will illuminate and show an initial reading, often 0.0 in air.
- Per spegnere il dispositivo, tieni premuto il pulsante Pulsante di accensione for a few seconds until the display turns off. The device may also have an auto-off function to conserve battery.
5.2. Performing a Non-Destructive Measurement
The MF-100 uses a non-destructive method, meaning it does not require piercing the material.
- Assicurati che il dispositivo sia acceso.
- Place the spherical measurement probe flat against the surface of the material you wish to measure. Ensure full contact between the probe and the surface.
- The display will show the current moisture reading. Move the device slowly across the surface to identify areas with varying moisture levels.
- The reading represents the relative moisture content of the material. Refer to material-specific guidelines or experience for interpretation.
This image displays the VOLTCRAFT MF-100 showing a "0.0" reading, indicating a very low or no moisture content, typically seen when the device is in the air or on a completely dry surface.
The VOLTCRAFT MF-100 is shown displaying a numerical moisture reading (e.g., 14.5), along with MIN and MAX values, indicating an active measurement of moisture in a material.
5.3. Using MIN/MAX Function
The MIN/MAX function allows you to track the lowest and highest moisture values detected during a continuous measurement session.
- While measuring, the device automatically updates the MIN and MAX values on the display.
- This is particularly useful when scanning large areas or when the display is not easily visible during the measurement process.
- The device may feature an acoustic alarm that activates when a predefined moisture threshold (often related to MAX) is exceeded. Consult the device's specific button layout for activating/deactivating this feature if available.
5.4. Utilizzo della funzione HOLD
The HOLD function freezes the current measurement reading on the display, allowing you to record or analyze it without the value changing.
- Durante una misurazione, premere il Pulsante HOLD (if present, or a multi-function button). The "HOLD" indicator will appear on the display.
- The displayed value will remain fixed until you press the Pulsante HOLD again to release it, or until the device automatically exits HOLD mode.
6. Manutenzione e cura
- Pulizia: Wipe the device exterior with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.
- Magazzinaggio: Conservare il dispositivo in un luogo fresco e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e da temperature estreme. Se si prevede di non utilizzarlo per un periodo prolungato, rimuovere le batterie.
- Sostituzione della batteria: Per garantire letture accurate, sostituire le batterie quando sul display compare l'indicatore di batteria scarica.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Il dispositivo non si accende. | Batterie scariche o inserite in modo errato. | Controllare la polarità delle batterie. Sostituirle con nuove batterie AAA. |
| Letture imprecise o fluttuanti. | Scarso contatto con la superficie; dispositivo non calibrato; condizioni ambientali estreme. | Ensure full contact of the probe. Allow device to stabilize in new environment. If issues persist, contact support. |
| Display shows "HOLD" and doesn't update. | HOLD function is active. | Press the HOLD button again to deactivate the function. |
| Acoustic alarm sounds frequently. | Rilevata umidità elevata; soglia di allarme impostata troppo bassa. | Investigate the measured area for high moisture. Adjust alarm settings if possible (refer to specific device instructions). |
