SUMMARY OF ALL METERS

mini-Ligno DX  

The DX is one of our most popular meters. Convenient corrections for 40 different wood groups increase accuracy especially when working with many different wood species domestic or tropical including bamboo. 

For thicker wood longer pins are supplied with each mini-Ligno. For core readings in lumber from 6/4 on up, we recommend to make a fresh cut to reach the core. If cutting the wood is not feasible, choose the mini-Ligno DX/C to have the option of adding an external probe..

One step up from the mini-Ligno DX: 

>> DX/C with connector for external probe

>> Lignometer K with 150 individualized wood 

species settings and temperature corrections.

-- 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%

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

domestic and tropical wood species including bamboo

-- 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.

If you want to add an external probe, select the mini-Ligno DX/C.

The functionally designed mini-Ligno DX 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.
