Ligno-Scanner SD
The Scanners SD is a capacitance-type meter for
wood with a reference scale for other materials. The
sensor plates on the back emit and pick-up very
low-powered electro-magnetic signals.
The readings generated by the Ligno-Scanner SD
are average values for the entire measuring field be-
tween the surface and the maximum depth of pene-
tration. Moisture closer to the surface has a greater
effect on the average than the moisture closer to the
maximum depth of penetration.
All Lignomat meters internally check and adjust the calibration.
Manual recalibration is not needed.
Wood Range 5*-60%. Readings above 25% fiber saturation point are less accurate.
*To check the lowest possible reading, hold the meter in the air and push the READ
key. The range for hardwoods with high specific gravity is lower than 5%. The range
for softwood with low specific gravity is higher than 5%.
Settings: #30-100. The most common wood species are listed on the laminated
pocket guide included with each Scanner. Gravity Range is 0.3 to 1.0. For unlisted
species the specific gravity can be entered as species setting. Example, for specific
gravity of 0.42 the setting is #42. Values for specific gravity can be found on the in-
ternet by entering <specific gravity...> followed by the name of the wood.
For calculating the specific gravity see page 9.
For unlisted species or new products we offer testing to determine the correct setting.
Reference scale:
Code #0: Sensitivity level for laminates and products made out of wood.
Selectable Measuring Depths: 1/4” (7mm) and 3/4” (20mm)
Battery: One 9V battery (included). To exchange battery, slide bat-
tery cover off on back of instrument. A low battery symbol will appear
on the display, when the battery has been drained to 25% of its capacity.
Size of meter:
2”W x 5.5”L x 1”H (12 x 6 x 2.5cm)
Size of measuring pads:
2 1/2”L x 1 1/2”W (65 x 40mm)
Warranty:
All Lignomat meters have a two year warranty. Battery excluded.
