  1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back or bottom of the device.
  2. Åbn dækslet ved at skubbe eller skrue det af.
  3. Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
  4. Luk batterirummets dæksel forsvarligt.
  5. Perform a quick test to ensure the device powers on.

Indledende inspektion

Before first use, inspect both devices for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the casing or bent probes. Do not use if damage is present.

Betjeningsvejledning

TESMEN TN-213 Voltage tester

The TN-213 is a non-contact AC voltage detector designed for quick and safe electrical checks.

  1. Tænd: Press the power button (usually marked with a power symbol) to turn on the device. The LCD screen will illuminate.
  2. Følsomhedsjustering: The TN-213 features dual-range sensitivity.
    • High Sensitivity (12V-1000V): Ideal for detecting lower voltages or tracing wires from a distance.
    • Low Sensitivity (70V-1000V): Suitable for standard household voltage detection, reducing false positives.

    Press the sensitivity button (often marked 'S' or with a sensitivity icon) to switch between ranges. The current range will be indicated on the LCD.

  3. Voltage Detektion: Bring the tip of the tester close to the wire, outlet, or electrical component you wish to test.
    • Hvis AC voltage is detected, the tester's tip will glow red, an audible buzzer will sound, and the LCD will display the voltage styrke.
    • Voltage strength is visualized with a percentage and an analog bar on the LCD for clear indication.

  4. Automatisk sluk: Enheden slukker automatisk efter en periode med inaktivitet for at spare på batteriet.

TESMEN TWM-186 Pen Moisture Meter

The TWM-186 is a pin-type moisture meter for measuring moisture content in wood and construction materials.

  1. Tænd: Tryk på tænd/sluk-knappen for at tænde enheden.
  2. Select Material Mode: The TWM-186 offers different modes and calibration scales for various materials.
    • Trætilstand: For measuring moisture in various types of wood (e.g., 6.8% to 58%).
    • Construction Material Mode: For materials like concrete, plaster, and drywall (e.g., 0% to 24.5%).

    Refer to the device's manual or on-screen indicators to select the appropriate mode for your material. Press the 'M' (Mode) button to cycle through available modes.

  3. Måling: Carefully press the two metal pins into the surface of the material you wish to measure. Ensure both pins penetrate the surface for an accurate reading.
  4. Læsefortolkning: The LCD screen will display the moisture content percentage. The TWM-186 features a three-color backlight system for quick interpretation:
    • Grøn: Indicates a dry or acceptable moisture level.
    • Orange: Indicates a moist or elevated moisture level.
    • Rød: Indicates a wet or high moisture level, suggesting potential issues.
