Wagner Orion Pinless Wood Moisture Meter

F.A.Q.


What is an Wagner Orion pinless moisture meter?

The Wagner Orion series is the next generation of pinless moisture meters featuring accuracy, versatility, and quality that can’t be found in other meters. Incorporating enhanced technology, the new Wagner Orion line (with multiple patents pending) leaves our competitors in the sawdust with high-speed moisture content readings, on the site calibration, deep depth measurements, Bluetooth enabled, and EMC calculator.

How does an Wagner Orion pinless moisture meter work?

Wagner Orion Pinless meters use electromagnetic wave technology. The meter sends out electrical waves at a certain electromagnetic frequency that creates an electromagnetic field in the area under the sensor pad. The meter then produces a moisture content correlated to the signal it reads back. Pinless meters typically test a much larger area than pin-style meters and can “scan” the wood for a more complete moisture content picture. Again, this technology is not without some limitations and can be impacted by density variations.

How do I calibrate an Wagner Orion wood moisture meter?

  1. Make sure the serial number on your On-Demand Calibrator (ODC) matches the serial number on your meter.
  2. Place the ODC on its legs on a non-metallic surface.
  3. Turn the meter on, then use the SPECIES/MATERIAL button to put your meter in CAL mode.
  4. Place the meter on the ODC, correctly “seating” the meter sensor pad firmly in the recessed area of the ODC. IMPORTANT: Failure to correctly and firmly “seat” the sensor pad in the recessed area will cause an inaccurate calibration.
  5. Apply light downward pressure, and press the AUDIO button 3 times. The meter will begin to make a “beeping” sound which indicates it’s going through the calibration process.
  6. When the calibration procedure is completed, the meter will display the word LIFT. Immediately remove the meter from the ODC, and hold the meter in the air for approximately 5 seconds until the word DONE appears on the display.
  7. Press the ON/HOLD to return the meter to normal measuring mode.

What is the best wood moisture meter?

Well, it all depends on what you're looking for as far as meters go. There are many different articles out there with their lists of best moisture meters, but how can you tell if it's the right one for you? Most people prefer a pinless moisture meter over a pin meter because they don't want to ruin the wood. Our choice for the best moisture meter is the Wagner Orion 950 pinless wood moisture meter.
