Package V24-M

Applications

Used by inspectors, contractors, restoration specialists and maintenance crews, anyone who needs to investigate moisture conditions in wood, wood floors, drywall, roofing materials and structural elements in the building envelope.

Advantages

Pin – pinless – RH: When every job is different, the Ligno-VersaTec is the most versatile meter, all-in-one, with the widest moisture range, individual correction settings in pin and pinless mode for domestic and tropical wood species, OSB, panel product, drywall. Other materials such as laminates, carpets and concrete can be measured with reference scales.

Accurate surface and core measurements in wood, wood floors and structural lumber can be obtained with the Depth-Electrode E12 up to 2″ deep. 

The slim Inspector-Electrode E14-V is included for easy handling and the ability to measure hard-to-reach areas, such as corners, under base boards, around window frames. Add EL pins for 7″ depth. The handle of the E14 can be extended to reach ceilings and carpets.

Product Description

Package V24-M

The package consists of the moisture meter Ligno-VersaTec (pin-pinless-RH) and 2 pin electrodes in a hard-shell carry case. The electrode E12 is mainly used to measure wood, wood floors and subfloors. The electrode E14-V is used for detecting, evaluating moisture damage in buildings. Compared with the electrode E12, the E14-V is easier to handle and can reach small areas better. The sturdiness of the E14-V and EG pins allows for measuring hard materials such as strand bamboo, hard hardwood and cementitious panel products. 

The package V24-M consists of:

The Ligno-VersaTec is the most advanced moisture meter among Lignomat’s moisture meters for pin-pinless-RH measurements. Features are the wide moisture range and more than 170 correction settings for measuring domestic and tropical wood species, OSB and other panel products, bamboo, gypsum and different types of wall boards. Relative scales are included for concrete, cementitious materials, plastics, insulation… for the floor installer, inspector. Ligno-VersaTec moisture meter is for all industries, where moisture measurements are an integral part of everyday decision making

The moisture meter by itself provides for dual-depth pinless measurements. Connectors for pin electrodes and RH cables or RH adapter are installed in the top of the moisture meter. 
– BNC connector for electrode cables and in-kiln, remote cables with Adapter H
– 3.5mm stereo jack to connect RH cable or RH adapter.
Two measuring plates for pinless dual-depth mode are mounted on the back of the meter.

Package includes E12 pin electrode and accessories for measuring RH/T ambient conditions and in-situ concrete moisture testing


Pinless Measurements
The Ligno-VersaTec moisture meter allows fast and easy scanning of flat surfaces 1/4″ and 3/4″ deep. Percent values are indicated for all wood species, OSB and other panel products, bamboo and drywall. Relative scales are for all other materials including concrete. If the material is not flat, or measurements should reach deeper or you need to find differences between surface and core moisture, the Electrodes E12 can be used to accomplish those tasks.


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 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, even though the Ligno-VersaTec moisture meter by itself can take moisture measurements in pinless mode.

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. 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.

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 measure dry material behind wet surfaces. 

We recommend using the electrode E14-V, when the round head of the E12 cannot reach the area to be measured. Also, if measuring extremely hard materials, the E14-V with EG pins can be pounded harder into material than using the slide hammer of the E12.

Electrode E12, BNC cable and 1 pair each DZ and DA pins are included in package VPP-M.

Available pins for E12:
DZ 1″, DA 1.5″ , DB 2″, teflon-coated 


Electrode E14-V allows measuring moisture on any surface up to 3/4″ deep with insulated pins EG. In addition, the short handle and light weight allow for ease of operation. The slim shape allows for measuring close to pipes, below window sills, in wall corners, places where round electrodes or built-in pins from moisture meters cannot reach. With the E14 you can track moisture wherever it hides. Adding the 7″ long EL pins lets you reach through insulation or under baseboards into structural components. Great for EIFS inspections.

The knob at the end of the handle can be removed and replaced by a paint brush handle or broom stick. Using the extension handle allows you to keep a safe distance from mold infested areas and still be able to get reliable measurements. Extending the handle with a broom stick makes measuring carpets and carpet padding easy without crouching down. Ceilings can be checked for moisture leakage without a ladder.

Pins measure only at the tip. EG and EL pins are teflon coated up to the electrode handle. Moisture from a wet surface is never picked up, even if the pins are pushed all the way into the material.

Electrode and pins are very sturdy and allow hard pounding to insert the pins into hard materials. Works for strand bamboo as well as hard and cementitious panel products. 

Electrode E14-V with BNC cable and 1 pair EG pins are included in the package VPP-M.

Available pins for E14:
EG pins teflon coated, measuring depth 3/4″
EL pins teflon coated, measuring depth 7″
EC 5/8″, EA 7/16″, EV 3/16″, un-coated


Options for V24-M package:
Adding pins #DB 2″ for E12.
Adding pins #EL 7″ for E14-V.
Adding RH Thermo-Hygro probe to measure ambient relative humidity and temperature.
