Stable calibration not affected by ambient temperature. Calibration is internally checked and automatically adjusted if necessary. |
| Calibration Check |
External calibration check block #TS is available to verify the calibration and functions of meter. |
| Included |
Pouch, one 9V battery, manual and laminated wood group chart. |
| Size |
Pocket-size 2″ x 5.5″x0.5″, Measuring pad 1 5/8″ x 2 5/8″ |
| Weight |
8 ounces (200g), made out of high-impact plastic |
| Warranty |
All moisture meters have a 2 year warranty. Pins and battery are excluded. |
The measuring depth of a pinless meter is crucial. Moisture readings are too low, when the Scanner is placed on a work piece which is thinner than the measuring depth. Scanners never measure any deeper than the measuring depth.
The entire measuring pad has to be on a flat and smooth surface for accurate readings
*Species Corrections for Ligno-Scanners and Ligno-VersaTec correlate directly to the Specific Gravity. Example: For a specific gravity of 0.57 (0.57g/cm 3 )set species # 57. Specific Gravity for most wood species can be found on the Internet. We also include a Species Chart with recommended settings.
The Ligno-Scanners SDM and the Ligno-VersaTec have calibrations built-in for drywall and concrete and a reference scale for non-wood building materials.
Measuring range: 5-60% dependent upon Species. For hardwoods the Scanners read lower than 5%, for softwoods the Scanners start reading above 5%. Resolution of read-out: 0.1% Less accurate above Fiber Saturation Point at 30%.
Wood temperature correction is not necessary.
