4.2 Selecting Timber Density Grade

בילד: The SAM-PRO Pinless Moisture Meter surrounded by different types of wood, illustrating its versatility for various timber densities.

The meter offers 10 unique grades of timber density to ensure accurate readings for different wood types.

1. דרוק די געדיכטקייַט key (item 10 in Product Overview) to cycle through the available timber density grades.
2. The selected grade will be displayed as the "Timber density grade" (item 2 in Product Overview) אויף דעם עקראַן.
3. Choose the grade that best matches the density of the wood you are measuring. Refer to external wood density charts if unsure.

4.3 מעאַסורינג

בילד: A hand holding the SAM-PRO Pinless Moisture Meter against a piece of lumber, demonstrating how to take a measurement.

1. Ensure the meter is powered on and the correct timber density grade is selected.
2. Place the back sensor area (item 12 in Product Overview) of the meter flat against the surface of the material you wish to measure.
3. Hold the meter steady for a few seconds.
4. The moisture value (item 7 in Product Overview) will be displayed on the LCD screen.

The meter is non-invasive, meaning it measures moisture without piercing the material's surface, preserving the integrity of your wood.

4.4 Understanding Readings and Upper Limit Setting

• The "Moisture value" (item 7) indicates the percentage of moisture content.
• You can set an upper limit for moisture content. Press the ON/OFF button (item 9) briefly to enter the upper limit setting mode. Use the UP (item 8) and אַראָפּ (item 11) arrow buttons to adjust the value. Press ON/OFF ווידער צו באַשטעטיקן.
• The "Within upper limit" (item 4) or "Out of upper limit range" (item 5) indicators will show if the measured moisture is within or exceeds your set threshold.

4.5 Calibration Recommendation

To ensure accurate measurements and prolong the meter's lifespan, it is recommended to calibrate the SAM-PRO meter under the following conditions:

• After exchanging batteries.
• When using the SAM-PRO meter for the first time.
• If the SAM-PRO meter has not been used for a long time and you restart using it.
• When using the product with significant temperature differences between the meter and the environment.

The meter features a temperature compensation function. For optimal accuracy, keep the object to be tested at a consistent temperature for at least 5 minutes before measurement.

6.1 אומגענויע מעסטונגען

• טשעק קאַלאַבריישאַן: Ensure the meter has been calibrated as recommended, especially after battery changes or prolonged storage.
• טעמפּעראַטור סטאַביליטי: Verify that the object being tested has been at a consistent temperature for at least 5 minutes.
• Timber Density: Confirm that the correct timber density grade is selected for the material being measured.
• ינטערפיראַנס: Keep the meter away from any electrified objects during measurement, as these can influence readings.

6.2 Meter Not Powering On
