All the product info you could ask for...

  • Size Info

  • Includes : Wood Moisture Meter with Backlight, Rubber Protective Boot, Foam-lined ABS Plastic Carrying Case, 9V Battery, Species Settings Booklet, Instruction Manual, Common Flooring Materials Settings Reference Card, Paired On-Demand Calibrator
  • Depth Measurements : The Orion 940 takes moisture readings in your wood from the surface down to 1/4 Inch (6.4mm) in depth in the shallow scan mode or from the surface down to 3/4 Inch (19mm) in the deep scan mode.
  • IntelliSense Technology : Orion 910, 930, 940, and 950 pinless wood moisture meters incorporate IntelliSense technology in their 3/4 Inch (19mm) deep reading modes. This enables accurate determination of the moisture content deeper in the wood while minimizing the effect that surface moisture will have on the meter readings. Pin-type meters may be able to bypass the surface conditions, but they also damage the surface of the wood every time you take a reading.
  • Fast Selection Species Settings : With simple up/down arrow buttons, your Orion 940 meter can be easily and quickly set for the wood species you need to measure. Plus, the range of settings accommodates practically any softwood or hardwood species in the world. The Orion 940 can also be configured to measure some non-solid wood products such as plywood, OSB, or MDF. Orion meters also have species settings for many bamboo flooring products.
  • Non-Damaging Pinless Sensor : Every Orion meter features electromagnetic wave technologyâ?¦a non-damaging way to quickly and accurately measure the moisture content of wood or other materials. Compared against pin meters, the pinless sensor technology of the Orion line of meters does not damage the wood and also eliminates the frustrations and costs of broken pins, common with pin-type meters.
  • Programmable Alarm : The Orion includes a user-programmable, audible alarm for high moisture content levels.
  • Length : 5-3/4 Inch (146 mm)
  • Width : 3 Inch (76 mm)
  • Thickness : 1 Inch (25 mm)
  • Scanning Area : 2 Inch (50 mm) x 2-1/2 Inch (63 mm)

  • Manufacturer Info

  • Manufacturer : Wagner Meters
  • Manufacturer Part # : 890-00940-001

  • Other Important Info

  • Product Type : Wood Moisture Meter
  • Calibrator : Free Calibrator
  • Virtually Unaffected by Temperature : Every Orion pinless meter is virtually unaffected by the temperature of the wood or the environment. Unlike pin meters, Orion's sensing technology does not need correction or adjustment to account for the temperature of the wood.
  • True In-The-Field Calibration : There is no need to return your Orion to the factory for calibration. Every Orion meter comes with an individually paired On-Demand Calibrator allowing you to easily calibrate your meter anytime*, ensuring that you will always be able to obtain accurate moisture measurements. A NIST-traceable version, with a certificate of calibration, can also be purchased.
  • Relative Moisture Measurement Mode : A relative moisture measurement mode allows for taking relative moisture measurements in non-wood based materials and engineered wood flooring. This means you can use an Orion moisture meter to obtain relative moisture conditions on a number of non-wood building materials and flooring products.
  • Press to Hold Readings : On every Orion moisture meter, if you press down once on the ON/HOLD button it will hold the moisture reading you took. This is quite useful if you're measuring in a hard to reach area.
  • Battery Capacity : 9V
  • Warranty : 7 Years
  • Weight (with boot) : 7.2 oz (204 g)
  • Auto Power Shut-Down : 60 Seconds
  • Measurement Ranges : MC for wood:4.0% to 32.0% (range will vary slightly depending on species setting). Relative Measurement Scale: 0-100
  • Data Storage Capacity : 100 saved readings
  • Specific Gravity Range for Wood Species : 0.20-1.0 SG
  • Storage Temperature and Humidity : +50 Degrees F to +90 Degrees F (+10 Degrees C to +32 Degrees C), Maximum relative humidity of 95%, Non-condensing
  • Operating Temperature Range : +32 Degrees F to +110 Degrees F (+0 Degrees C to +43 Degrees C)
