Product details (archived)

With a pinless meter you can quickly scan a large number of boards, detect higher moisture levels and water pockets. Pinless meters are essential when checking finished products such as cabinet doors, table tops and ready-to-sell furniture, where pins would leave visible marks. Ideal for building inspectors to assess moisture conditions and water damage in buildings, especially since Scanners can also be used for non-wood building materials such as drywall, concrete, tile, etc.

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.

• Wood temperature correction is not necessary
• Bright LED display
• Hold function
• Calibrated to give true wood moisture readings in percent and have built-in corrections for different species
