Among the mini-Lignos, this digital moisture meter has the widest measuring range 5-65% and 46 built-in corrections to measure different wood species, panel products and building materials:

– domestic and tropical wood species
– horizontal, vertical and strand bamboo
– sub floors, OSB and AdvanTech
– laminates and panel products
– gypsum, drywall and different wall boards (same as mini S/D and S/DC)
– reference scale for concrete and other building materials.

The mini-Ligno DX measures up to 7/16″ deep. Choose the DX/C, if you need to add depth-electrode E12 to measure wood (up to 2″) or inspector electrode E14 (up to 7″) to reach water damaged areas in the building envelope.

An easy-to-use, reliable moisture meter.

The functionally designed meter fits comfortably 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 handle when pushing the pins into wood. This unique design allows pushing behind the entire meter to insert the tapered pins easily. 

For measurements, push the pins into the material to be measured. The unique on-off switch between the pins, turns meter on automatically and bright LED lights instantly indicate moisture percentage. The LED display is virtually unbreakable and comes with a life-time warranty. No hassle ever with a broken display! Automatic on-off switch extends battery life.

Each mini-Ligno comes with a set of
#MA Pins for a measuring depth of 3/16″ (5mm) and
#MB Pins for a measuring depth of 7/16″ (10mm).
For core readings in thicker wood, you can make a fresh cut and measure the end grain. If that is not feasible, choose the mini-Ligno DX/C and add the electrode E12 (package D-2M).

If you want to use any of the attachments, buy the mini-Ligno DX/C. Optimize usage of a moisture meter:  

 The standard mini-Ligno model is equipped with built in pins for handheld moisture measurements. mini-Ligno C-Models come with built in pins as well as connectors for use with external cables and electrodes.
