mini-Ligno DX/C Moisture Meter

Mini-Ligno moisture meters are made easy to use and sturdy. They give accurate and reliable measurements due to Lignomat’s advanced measuring technology. The unique LED display is virtually unbreakable and bright enough to read even in poorly lit areas.

Whether you are a woodworker, floor installer, inspector or restoration specialist, if accuracy and versatility is important to you, the digital moisture meter mini-Ligno DX/C will provide both.

The digital moisture meter comes with 42 settings to correct for:
– domestic and tropical wood species
– horizontal, vertical and strand bamboo
– laminates and panel products
– gypsum and drywall (*same as mini-Ligno S/D and mini-Ligno S/DC)
– reference scale for concrete and other building materials.*

Review packages for DX/C to choose the electrode, that best suits your needs. Pins are available to measure up to 7″ deep. Pin meters work for all thicknesses of wood from veneer to logs. Any shape round or oval can be measured as long as both pins fit in the same piece. Versatility is one of the advantages over pinless meters.

The DX/C is one of our most popular meters with the following features:

– a unique shape that fits comfortably in your hand when
–   measuring
– a measuring range low enough to check hardwood floors (5%*)
– a measuring range high enough to evaluate wet lumber (65*)
– a bright, digital display readable even in dark crawl spaces
– resolution of 0.1% below the critical range of 10%
– 40 settings for wood species corrections including a chart
–   for domestic and tropical wood species including bamboo
– a reference scale 0-99 for non-wood building materials such
–   as drywall, plaster and other “soft” building materials. For
–   instance, to pinpoint problems around windows or showers,
–   in leaky ceilings, after water lines broke or buildings were flooded.
– connection for external cables and electrode — to evaluate
–   concrete or reach hidden areas for moisture testing, even
–   behind 7″ of insulation.

The functionally designed mini-Ligno DX/C fits in your hand when measuring and is small enough to carry in a shirt-pocket. The green cap covers the pins during transportation and serves as a handle when pushing the pins into the wood. This unique design allows pushing behind the entire meter to insert the tapered pins easily. Longer pins are stored inside the meter for measuring thicker material. The short pins are ideal for surface or end cut readings and for veneer.

For measurements, push the pins into wood. The unique on-off switch between the pins, turns meter on automatically and bright LED lights instantly indicate moisture percentage.

An easy-to-use, reliable instrument.
