Specifications for Ligno-Scanner SDM

The measuring depth of a pinless meter is crucial. Moisture readings are too low, when the Scanner is placed on a work piece which is thinner than the measuring depth. Scanners never measure any deeper than the measuring depth.

The entire measuring pad has to be on a flat and smooth surface for accurate readings

*Species Corrections for Ligno-Scanner SDM correlate directly to the Specific Gravity. Example: For a specific gravity of 0.57 (0.57g/cm3) set species # 57. Specific Gravity for most wood species can be found on the Internet. We also include a Species Chart with recommended settings. Ligno-Scanner SDM has different reference scales for groups of materials, similar materials should be measured with the corresponding scale. 

Measuring range: 5.4-61% dependent upon Species. Resolution of read-out: 0.1% Less accurate above Fiber Saturation Point at 30%.             

Wood temperature correction is not necessary.
