The functionally designed meter fits comfortably in your hand when measuring and is small enough to carry in a shirt-pocket. The green cap covers the pins during transportation and serves as handle when pushing the pins into wood. This unique design allows pushing behind the entire meter to insert the tapered pins easily.
For measurements, push the pins into the material to be measured. The unique on-off switch between the pins, turns meter on automatically and bright LED lights instantly indicate moisture percentage. The LED display is virtually unbreakable and comes with a life-time warranty. No hassle ever with a broken display! Automatic on-off switch extends battery life.
Each mini-Ligno comes with a set of
#MA Pins for a measuring depth of 3/16″ (5mm) and
#MB Pins for a measuring depth of 7/16″ (10mm).
For core readings in thicker wood, you can make a fresh cut and measure the end grain. If that is not feasible, choose the mini-Ligno DX/C and add the electrode E12 (package D-2M).
If you want to use any of the attachments, buy the mini-Ligno DX/C. Optimize usage of a moisture meter:
- Measure thicker lumber without cutting, with E12 (Pkg D2-M)
- Reach sub floors without removing floor planks, with E12 (Pkg D2-M)
- Track moisture in walls, floors, ceilings, roofs…, with E14 (Pkg D4-P)
- Evaluate concrete moisture, other hard materials, with E16 (Pkg D6-P)
- In-kiln monitor with remote cables and probes (Pkg D-11)
