Lignomat Ligno-Scanner SD Moisture Meter
The Ligno-Scanner SD is a dual depth pinless moisture meter that is convenient to use. The operation is simple with clearly marked buttons. In addition, the large display shows moisture percentage, wood setting and measuring depth.
Above all Lignomat’s measuring technology assures calibration accuracy. Every time the pinless moisture meter turns on, calibration is internally checked.
The dual depth pinless moisture meter has a built-in correction for different wood species. Corrections can be programmed, just enter the specific gravity of the wood between 0.3 and 1.0. Resolution is 0.1% for entire measuring range. HOLD function is available for all pinless moisture meters from Lignomat.
Why buy a Scanner from Lignomat: Durable, easy to use, clear display and internal calibration, in addition to a 2-year warranty on all meters. These are just a few reasons professionals buy Lignomat.
The Ligno-Scanner SD dual depth moisture meter is calibrated for wood. The meter has 2 independent sets of calibrations, one for 1/4″ deep and one for 3/4″ deep. Most pinless moisture meters have a 3/4″ measuring depth.
Unique dual depth Ligno-Scanner SD works well for:
– Boards over 3/4″ and less than 3/4″ thick.
– Ideal for measuring layered engineered panels.
– Compare surface and core moisture to ensure even drying.
– Checking surface moisture for water damage or after applying
– waterborne finishes.
Pinless meters are essential in order to check finished products such as floors, cabinet doors, table tops and ready-to-sell furniture. Pin meters can leave unwanted pin holes.

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 readings
*Species 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.
Measuring range: 5-60% dependent upon Species. For hardwoods the Scanners read lower than 5%, for softwoods the Scanners start reading above 5%. Resolution of read-out: 0.1% Less accurate above Fiber Saturation Point at 30%.
Wood temperature correction is not necessary.
