  • Pin meter mini-Ligno DX/C with Electrode E12 for depth moisture measurement.

    Moisture control from drying to finishing assures quality wood products.

  • In-depth moisture measurement detect unevenly dried wood and help avoid costly mistakes.

    Used when installing, inspecting floors and for restoration jobs.

  • The DX/C comes with built-in corrections for domestic and tropical species, bamboo, wall boards and other materials.

  • When inspecting a floor problem, moisture measurement can be done in the sub floor without removing floor planks.

     

  • The electrode E12 has a slide hammer to insert and extract pins easily.

    Use the E12, when the integral pins of the meter are too hard to push into hard wood.

  • Teflon coated pins measure only at the tip.

    The E12 is the only tool to measure moisture accurately at a defined depth.

  • D2-M pkg includes DA and DZ pins, 1 pair each. DB pins need to be ordered separate.

    Pins measure only at the tip. They measure a wet core behind a dry surface.

Package D2-M

Applications

Used for moisture control throughout the manufacturing process, from drying lumber to checking the finished wood product. Floor installers and inspectors use the mini-Ligno DX/C with depth electrode to measure wood floors and subfloors without removing floor planks. In the restoration industry structural components can be measured up to 2″ deep behind wall coverings..

Used when the integral pins of the mini-Ligno DX/C are not reaching deep enough. In addition, pin insertion is easier with the slide hammer, than pushing the meter pins into wood, especially when measuring hard wood.

Advantages

The mini-Ligno DX/C is the most advanced mini-Ligno moisture meter with a wide measuring range and correction settings for domestic and tropical wood species, bamboo, drywall and building materials.

Adding the Electrode E12 with insulated pins allows accurate measurements at a defined depth from surface to 2″ deep.

Product Description

Package D2-M

Undetected high, low or uneven moisture is often the cause for moisture problems in wood and other materials. The electrode E12 allows measuring the moisture gradient between surface and core. True moisture distribution can be detected up to 2″ deep, even behind wet surfaces.

The package D2-M consists of:

The moisture meter of your choice, the mini-Ligno DX/C is the most advanced among the mini-Lignos. It comes with pins and a connector built-in for external electrodes or in-kiln cables. Features are the wide measuring range and 46 correction settings built-in for measuring domestic and tropical wood species, gypsum and different types of wall boards, bamboo and panel products.

The integral pins at the mini-Ligno can measure 7/16” deep. When the pins cannot reach the core of the wood, a fresh cut can be made to measure the end grain for core measurements. If cutting the material is not feasible, use the Electrode E12.

Electrode E12: The E12 is designed to measure from the surface to 2″ deep (with DB pins). All E12 pins are insulated and measure only at the tip. The slide hammer helps inserting and removing the pins. As pins are hammered into the material, consecutive readings show the moisture distribution within the material at every depth level the pins are driven to. The ability to measure a moisture gradient is one of the main reasons for our customers to use the electrode E12.

Wood: Taking numerous readings as pins are inserted, indicate if a moisture gradient exists or if the wood is dry throughout the core. Making sure wood is evenly dried is the best assurance for quality wood products. The thicker the wood, the more important core readings become. When inspecting wood floors, using the E12 gives you a tool to assess moisture distribution through floor planks into the sub floor without having to remove any floor planks. Using the electrode E12 with insulated pins guarantees measuring accuracy at a defined depth from surface to core.

Restoration: The moisture in structural components even behind wall coverings can be checked with the electrode E12. When assessing water damage, the pins of the E12 can be driven to different depth levels and thus indicate how far water has been absorbed or if there is still residual moisture inside the structure after drying. Insulated pins can give a moisture measurement in dry material behind wet surfaces. 

E12 pins are teflon-coated to only give a moisture measurement at the tip. This is important to determine if a moisture gradient exists from a dry surface towards to wet core, but it is equally important to be able to measure through a wet surface to determine how far moisture has been absorbed and at what depth the material stayed dry.

The electrode E12 comes with 1 pair each of 1″ pins and 1 pair of 1.5″. The 2″ long pins need to be ordered separately.
E12 pins are teflon coated to only measure at the tip and come in three sizes:

– DZ Pins insulated, measuring depth 1”
– DA Pins insulated, measuring depth 1.5”
– DB Pins insulated, measuring depth 2” (order separately)

Add-on Electrode E14-m:

  • We recommend adding the electrode E14-m, if the round head of the E12 cannot reach the area to be measured or if measurement should reach deeper than 2″. (Package D24-M)  The slim shape of the electrode allows for checking around pipes, below window sills, in wall corners, places where round electrodes or built-in pins from moisture meters cannot reach. With the E14-m you can truly track moisture wherever it hides. Adding the 7″ long EL pins enables you to reach through insulation or under baseboards into structural components. Great for EIFS inspections.
  • The E14-m with EG pins has proven to be strong enough to withstand hard pounding on top of the electrode handle when taking a moisture measurement of hard materials even concrete. 

Add-on in-kiln cables:

We offer cables, in-kiln monitors and kiln control systems for small to industrial lumber dry kilns. Contact 800-227-2105 for recommendations.
