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. Resolution is 0.1% for entire measuring range. HOLD function is available in all pinless meters from Lignomat.
Why choose a Scanner from Lignomat: Lignomat’s unique measuring technology assures calibration accuracy, reliability and repeatability backed by a 2-year warranty on all meters.
When selecting the right Ligno-Scanner for your application considermeasuring 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, 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 or measure surface moisture.
The reference scale can be used for testing non-wood materials.
Works great for Compare and Search Mode in restoration applications.
