4. Konfigurazioa
4.1 Bateriaren instalazioa
The Elitech MOT-270W requires one (1) AAA battery (not included) for operation. Follow these steps to install the battery:
- Bilatu bateriaren konpartimentuaren estalkia gailuaren atzealdean.
- Irristatu edo askatu estalkia konpartimentua irekitzeko.
- Sartu AAA pila bat, konpartimentuaren barruan adierazten den polaritate zuzena (+/-) ziurtatuz.
- Jarri berriro bateriaren konpartimentuaren estalkia, ondo itxita dagoela ziurtatuz.
4.2 Hasierako piztea
Bateria instalatu ondoren, sakatu Boterea 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. Funtzionamendu-argibideak
5.1 Neurketa bat egitea
- Kendu babes-kapa neurketa-pinetatik.
- Select the appropriate material mode (see Section 5.2).
- Firmly press the two measurement pins into the material you wish to test. Ensure both pins penetrate the surface to obtain an accurate reading.
- Hezetasun edukiaren ehunekoatage bistaratuko da LCDan.
- For materials where readings might fluctuate quickly, consider using the Data Hold or MAX/MIN functions (see Section 5.3).
- 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 botoia eskuragarri dauden moduen artean aldatzeko.

Figure 3: Material modes (gears) for various wood types and construction materials.
The modes are categorized as follows:
| Modua | Material Motak |
|---|---|
| 1. maila | Rhodes west teak, Ormosia hosiei, Brazil walnut tree |
| 2. maila | Walnut tree, Apitong, White poplar, Teak |
| 3. maila | Banya pine, Douglas fir/D-fir, Lauan, Manchurian ash, European-silver, Maple, White ash, Rose-wood, African whitewood, Gmelina-chinensis benth, Hemlock, Dipterocarpus, Oak |
| 4. maila | Chinese red pine, Coquito, Abies holophylla maxim, Larch, Apitong, Birch, Basswood |
| A modua | Karstenita |
| B modua | Zementuzko morteroa |
| C modua | Kare-morteroa |
| D modua | Adreilua |
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 Datuak gordetzeko funtzioa
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.
- Neurketa egiten ari zaren bitartean, sakatu botoia EUTSI button. The current reading will be held on the display.
- Sakatu EUTSI botoia berriro sakatu edukia askatzeko eta neurketa zuzena jarraitzeko.

5.3.2 MAX/MIN Value Tracking
This function allows you to track the maximum and minimum moisture content detected during a measurement session.
- Sakatu EZARTU button to activate MAX/MIN mode. The display will show "MAX" or "MIN".
- As you take measurements, the display will update to show the highest (MAX) or lowest (MIN) value recorded.
- Sakatu EZARTU button again to switch between MAX and MIN display.
- To exit MAX/MIN mode, press and hold the EZARTU botoia.
