Wagner Meters Orion® 910 Pinless Wood Moisture Meter (with Backlight)

Product Information

A space doesn’t quite feel like home until it has beautiful, high-quality furniture in it. It’s even better when that furniture contributes to your client’s (or your own) overall design style. Buying a Wagner Meters tool is far more than a sales transaction. It’s just one piece of a relationship dedicated to helping you and your business excel. The Wagner Meters mission is to equip the industry with the tools and education they need to manage moisture issues. To do that, we work hard at building strong relationships that stretch far before and after any sale.

One of the stand-out features of this moisture meter is that it comes with an effective drywall function that can be used for measuring the moisture content in the subflooring. The bottom line: the process of using a pin meter can be time-consuming, tedious, and exert stress on the physical meter, which tends to result in taking short-cuts when measuring moisture. The Orion 950 will calculate the dew point of the environment for you. Utilizing the built-in temperature and humidity sensor, the Orion 950 will calculate and display the current dew point whenever and wherever you need. Equilibrium Moisture Content Wagner Meters built its longevity on a foundation of innovation, top-quality products, and unrivaled customer support. When you buy a Wagner product, you get all three. But pin meters’ accuracy can be affected by variations in the natural chemical composition of different wood species. A wood’s density doesn’t impact the current flow but can interfere with properly inserting the pins.That’s why the objective tests of Wagner Meter moisture meters, linked below, from years ago remain valid today. Moreover, we can program the device to work with different kinds of wood, be it domestic or exotic. And the other advantage that is worth mentioning here is that it scans down to 0.75 inches. This gives us an accurate reading of the moisture content at varying depths in the wood. You can use this moisture meter for a range of applications where an accurate reading of the moisture content of the wood is required.

Because acclimating wood is either a very long or very expensive process, buying wood with the wrong MC often means that it can’t be used for a piece of furniture. It must either sit and acclimate (which costs time) or be taken to a kiln to dry (which costs money). Wagner Meters is proud to include the Orion line of pinless moisture meters within our Genuine Wagner 7-Year Warranty program. The longest-lasting warranty in the industry! Look for moisture meters with a scale that is suitable for your application, such as a scale of 0-100% for measuring surface moisture or 0-20% for measuring deeper moisture levels. Accuracy and CalibrationWhile moisture meters can detect high levels of moisture, they cannot identify mold specifically. To accurately identify mold, it is recommended to have a professional inspection. Conclusion While density variations in the wood may impact pinless meters’ ability to read waves, they can test a broader expanse of the wood and provide a complete picture of its moisture condition. What Is a Pin-Type Moisture Meter? The L600 was Wagner’s first handheld, pinless meter. It provided sawmills with options for measuring moisture in their lumber. A handheld moisture meter costs less than the inline models. It also provided more flexibility when and where they measured the moisture content (MC) of their lumber. In response, our Wagner Meters team went on a multi-year quest, investigating the advancing science behind measuring moisture in concrete. Eventually, we teamed up with the CTLGroup to develop an in-situ, relative humidity test for concrete. It’s a depth-specific moisture test that’s far more accurate and reliable than the commonly used surface moisture tests. Our first Rapid RH® test kits for measuring concrete moisture were sold in 2005. Meter temperature had a relatively minor effect on this meter’s readings at both low MC and high MC. For example, a high meter temperature of 110° F in the presence of low MC decreased the reading by about 0.8% MC compared to the room temperature reading. At high MC, the reading decreased by about 1.5% compared to the room temperature reading. A low meter temperature of 34.8° F in the presence of high MC increased the reading by about 0.1% MC.

First, let’s answer the “why” question behind it all. Why Is a Moisture Meter Essential for Wood Furniture Manufacturers? The drive to produce durable, advanced moisture management tools comes from our team’s drive to serve our customers. Wagner Meters’ culture always puts customers first. Our team members talk with customers every day—answering their questions about how to use a product or how to solve almost any moisture-related issue. Ensure that Bluetooth has been enabled on your smart device. The Orion 950 will automatically pair with your smart device when the power is on and the two devices are within Bluetooth range. The accuracy of a hand-held meter is determined by comparing the hand-held meter’s moisture reading against the over-dry test results. The closer its reading is to the oven-dry test, the more accurate the hand-held meter is considered. With the press-and-hold feature I can easily freeze the readings if I can’t get a direct visual of the meter’s display.

The Orion 910 reads from 4% to 32% MC. Many handheld wood moisture meters are either incapable of reading at low MC or suffer from significant inaccuracy. Not so with the Orion 910, which excels at very low MC levels. Features – 3.5 out of 5.0 The L622 comes from the factory with 32 user-selectable species settings by name, and these can be customized by you. With our Stat Pak software included with this meter, it is easy to record your results for future comparison. Orion 910, 930, 940, and 950 pinless wood moisture meters incorporate IntelliSense technology in their ¾” (19mm) deep reading modes. This enables accurate determination of the moisture content deeper in the wood while minimizing the effect that surface moisture will have on the meter readings. Pin-type meters may be able to bypass the surface conditions, but they also damage the surface of the wood every time you take a reading. Fast Selection Species Settings With competitive moisture meters, you may be able to verify when they are out of calibration, but not actually recalibrate them yourself. If they do need recalibration, you have to send it to the manufacturer – an inconvenience costing you time and money.
