3.1 Instalacija baterije
The EMT01 meter requires one 9V 6F22 battery for operation. Follow these steps to install or replace the battery:
- Provjerite je li mjerač isključen iz napajanja.
- Pronađite poklopac odjeljka za baterije na stražnjoj strani mjerača.
- Pomaknite poklopac prema dolje da biste otvorili pretinac.
- Spojite novu 9V bateriju na držač baterije, pazeći na ispravan polaritet.
- Place the battery into the compartment and slide the cover back into place until it clicks securely.

3.2 Protective Cap Removal
Before taking measurements, carefully remove the protective cap covering the electrode pins. This cap also serves as a calibration check block.
4. Uputstvo za upotrebu
4.1 Uključivanje/isključivanje
- To power on the meter, press the red POWER button. The LCD will display the current moisture reading.
- To power off the meter, press the red POWER button again. The meter will also automatically power off after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity.
4.2 Selecting Wood Group
The EMT01 meter has four pre-calibrated wood groups (A, B, C, D) to ensure accurate readings for different wood species. Refer to the list below and the meter's label to select the appropriate group:
- Grupa A: Teak, Afromosia, Walnut, Rubber Tree, Imbuia, Kokrodua, Niangon, Bidinkala, Cork
- grupa B: White Poplar, Keruing, Beech, Cedar, Tola
- grupa C: Lauan, Ash, Elm, Fir, Maple, Padauk, Oak, Cherry
- Grupa D: Basswood, Larch, Pine, Birch
To select a wood group, press the MODE button repeatedly until the desired group (A, B, C, or D) is displayed on the LCD.

4.3 Mjerenje
- Power on the meter and select the correct wood group.
- Carefully push the electrode pins into the wood surface to be measured. Ensure both pins penetrate the material sufficiently for good contact.
- Očitajte postotak vlagetage displayed on the LCD.
- To hold the current reading on the display, press the HOLD dugme. Pritisnite ga ponovo da biste otpustili funkciju pauze.
- After measurement, gently pull the pins out of the wood and replace the protective cap.
Napomena: For best results, take multiple readings in different spots on the material and average them.
5. Održavanje
- čišćenje: Obrišite c mjeračaasinObrišite suhom, mekom krpom. Ne koristite abrazivna sredstva za čišćenje ili rastvarače.
- Electrode Pins: Keep the pins clean and free from debris. If pins become dull or damaged, they may need replacement (replacement pins not included with standard package).
- Skladištenje: When not in use, always replace the protective cap over the pins. Store the meter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
6. Otkrivanje problema
| Problem | Mogući uzrok | Rješenje |
|---|---|---|
| Mjerač se ne uključuje. | Prazna ili nepravilno instalirana baterija. | Check battery installation. Replace with a new 9V battery. |
| Netačna očitavanja. | Incorrect wood group selected; pins not fully inserted; pins dirty or damaged. | Ensure correct wood group is selected. Push pins firmly into the material. Clean or replace pins if necessary. |
| Displej prikazuje 'Lo' ili 'Hi'. | Moisture content is outside the meter's measurement range. | The material is either too dry or too wet for the meter to provide a specific reading. |
| Meter powers off unexpectedly. | Auto power off activated; low battery. | This is normal behavior after 15 minutes of inactivity. If it happens during use, check for low battery indicator and replace battery. |
