SUMMARY OF ALL METERS

Professional Packages with DX/C for Floor Installers and Contractors

We recommend the Package DP-6 with a pin and pinless meter. Large areas can be checked quickly with the pinless meter, works for wood floors and non-wood building materials. Pin meters measure surface and core moisture in floor planks and measure moisture in sub floors. Pin meters can also be used for deep probing, where pinless meters cannot reach. 

One step up from the DX/C:  >>Lignometer K  

>>Ligno-DuoTec pin / pinless 

combination meter

A --Electrode E16 to check dryness in concrete and other building materials.

B --Electrode E12 to test sub floors or to measure structural lumber behind walls.

C --Hardshell plastic case with foam insert.

D --Thermo-Hygrometer for relative humidity and ambient temperature. 

E --Pinless Ligno-Scanner D to detect trouble areas without poking holes.

F-- teflonized EL Pins measure only at the tip up to 7" deep, order separately

Package DP-6: mini-Ligno DX/C, Ligno-Scanner D, Thermo-Hygrometer TH

- Electrode E16, 1 pair EC pins, E16-mini Cable

- Electrode E12, 1 pair DZ pins, 1 pair DA pins, BNC-mini Cable, case M

 The mini-Ligno DX/C has the following features:

-- a unique shape that fits comfortably in your hand when measuring

-- a measuring range low enough to check hardwood floors (5%*)

-- a measuring range high enough to evaluate wet lumber (65*)

-- a bright, digital display readable even in dark crawl spaces

-- resolution of  0.1% below the critical range of 10%

-- 20 settings for wood species corrections including a chart for

domestic and tropical wood species

-- a reference scale 0-99 for non-wood building materials such as  

drywall, plaster and other "soft" building materials. 

For instance, to pinpoint problems around windows or showers,

in leaky ceilings, after water lines broke or buildings were flooded.

-- connection for external cables and electrodes - to evaluate concrete or 

reach hidden areas for moisture testing, even behind 7" of insulation.

For more options see >> Packages with mini-Lignos.

The functionally designed mini-Ligno DX/C fits 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 a handle when pushing the pins into the wood. This unique design allows pushing behind the entire meter to insert the tapered pins easily. Longer pins are stored inside the meter for measuring thicker material. The short pins are ideal for surface or end cut readings and for veneer.

 For measurements, push the pins into wood. The unique on-off switch between the pins, turns meter on automatically and bright LED lights instantly indicate moisture percentage.

An easy-to-use, reliable instrument.

The Professional Package PD-6 helps 

 to measure and evaluate moisture conditions in both wood and non-wood building materials.

----Detection is a first step to prevention.----

We use our experience and expertise to manufacture moisture meters 

that are consistently reliable and accurate.

Over 220,000 mini-Lignos sold worldwide.

Specialty

Electrode

E16

The Electrode E16 can be used for soft and hard building materials (drywall, plaster, concrete, brick...). 

Pins for a  measuring depth of  5/8" (15mm) are included with purchase of the Electrode E16. Tapping on top of electrodes will insert pins. Pre-drilling holes may be required. 

For a measuring depth of up to 7" (17.5cm) order EL Pins separately. 

Electrode E16 including 1 pair #EC pins: 

weight 8ozs (250g), length w/o pins 3" (8cm) 

Pins

Non-insulated pins:

#EC: Measuring depth 5/8" (15mm), diameter 1/8" (3mm)

Teflon-insulated pins:

#EL: Measuring depth 7" (17cm), diameter 1/8" (3mm)

Helpful for depth measurement behind walls, through insulation, 

under roofs, or for measuring through different layers of material.

(EL pins are not included in Professional Packages.)

Cable

The E16-mini Cable connects the Electrode E16 to the  

mini-Ligno DX/C. The cable has 2mm plugs on one 

end and 4 mm plugs on the other end.

Standard cable length is 3 ft (1m), available also 6ft (2m).

Electrode

E12

The Electrode E12 can be used for wood or soft building materials (drywall, plaster...) to a maximum measuring depth of 2" (50mm). For up to 7" (17.5cm) measuring depth see >>Electrode E16>>

The slide hammer is moved up and down to drive the pins in and out of the wood. Teflon-insulated pins measure only between the tips and give core readings even if the surface is wet. The professional tool to obtain true core readings. Ideal for checking sub floors without removing floor boards or measuring fiber boards through stucco or testing structural lumber.   

Electrode E12, including 1 pair DZ pins and 1 pair DA pins

weight 3.5pds (1600g), length w/o pins 12" (30cm)

Teflon-insulated pins for Electrode E12 only:

#DZ: Measuring depth 1" (25mm), total length 1 5/8" (42mm)  

#DA: Measuring depth 1.5" (37mm), total length 1 5/8" (53mm)  

#DB: Measuring depth 2" (50mm), total length 2 5/8" (68mm)  

Cable for E12

The BNC-mini Cable connects the Electrode E12 to the  

mini-Ligno DX/C. The cable has 2mm plugs on one 

end and a BNC connector on the other end.

Standard cable length is 3 ft (1m), available also 6ft (2m).

#BNC-mini Cable (3ft)

Case

The black hardshell case has a double wall for sturdiness and a                      foam insert for protection.
