Ligno-Scanner S 1/4″, Pinless for Wood
The Ligno-Scanner S is a pinless moisture meter for wood with a ¾” measuring depth.
All Ligno-Scanners give true wood moisture readings in percent using built-in corrections for different species. Corrections can also be programmed by entering the specific gravity between 0.3 and 1.0. The resolution is 0.1% for the entire measuring range. The HOLD function is available in all pinless meters from Lignomat.
Why choose a Ligno-Scanner S from Lignomat:
Approved by woodworkers for quality and price. Fine Woodworking review. Unique measuring technology assures accuracy, repeatability, and reliability backed by a 2-year warranty.
When selecting the right Ligno-Scanner for your application consider measuring depth and the materials you want to measure. The measuring depth is crucial for any pinless meter.
Most pinless meters are calibrated for wood 3/4″ thick. The Ligno-Scanner S is set for 1/4″ deep, which works great for all boards less than 3/4″ thick. The S also works for veneer wood, 1mm and up. For thinner veneers, we recommend measuring a stack of a few sheets. Since the Ligno-Scanner S is sensitive to surface moisture, the meter is often used to check waterborne finishes, veneer wood, or measure surface moisture.
Wood Moisture Meter:
The Ligno-Scanner S is a preferable tool for cabinetmakers and hardwood floor installers and inspectors. You can scan large numbers of boards, and detect higher moisture levels and water pockets. This meter is an indispensable tool when assessing water damage and determining moisture content on finished materials. Meter can also be used when measuring engineered flooring.
This meter has a unique feature that includes 71 species settings or specific gravity settings 0.3- 1.0. Lignomat’s pinless meter also gives moisture readings in percent moisture content. There is also an additional reference scale when measuring non-wood building materials that can be used for comparative readings.
In history mode, the instrument automatically stores up to 5000 waveforms in a separate history buffer. At any point in time, acquisition can be stopped and any waveform in the history buffer can be analyzed using the full oscilloscope functionality. One-time anomalies that would have been missed by a conventional handheld oscilloscope can now be analyzed in detail.
