Lignomat SDM Ligno-Scanner SDM Moisture Meter Digital display Rugged design for easy operation Wide range wood scale (5-60%) Reference Scale for non-wood building materials (0-99) Built in corrections for 71 wood group Automatic shut off HOLD feature ' measuring depthThe Ligno-Scanner SDM clearly outperforms most pinless moisture meters on the market today. The meter has 2 independent sets of calibrations one for measuring 1/4? deep and one for measuring 3/4? deep. Dual-depth settings are available for different wood species, drywall, reference scales for concrete and other building materials. The bamboo calibration settings (flat and vertical grain and strand, carbonized) are for a measuring depth of 1/4?.Why choose a Ligno-Scanner SMD from Lignomat:Lignomat's unique measuring technology assures calibration accuracy, reliability and repeat-ability backed by a 2-year warranty on all moisture meters. The Ligno-Scanner SDM pinless moisture meter has very unique features such as calibrations to measure the moisture in bamboo.The moisture meter of choice for multi-material applications: flooring, restoration, inspection and construction.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 readingsSpecies 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. Measurin

Product description

The Scanner S/D is a dual depth (¼" or ¾") pinless, capacitance-type meter. The S/D uses the relationship between the dielectric properties and the moisture content of the wood to produce a moisture reading that is the average value of the area between the surface and the maximum depth of penetration. Since pinless meters leave no mark, they’re preferred when testing finished products such as cabinet doors, table tops and ready to finish furniture. The S/D range of measurement range is from 5% - 99% dependent upon species. Temperature correction is not necessary. Comes with instructions, specie card and carry pouch. Requires 9v battery (Battery Included) & 2 Year Warranty.

• Measuring Range 5%-99%
