Congratulations!
You have purchased one of the most
accurate moisture measurement instru-
ments for wood in the world. Using
electromagnetic wave technology, hand-
held moisture meters from Wagner Meters
have been proven by universities and
institutes worldwide to provide superior
measurement results.
With its electromagnetic eld, your
Wagner moisture meter covers a relatively

the true moisture content of your wood.
Pin-type meters only measure a very small
area, and only at a particular depth, giving
you very limited insight into the true
moisture content of the wood. Very short,
non-insulated pins are especially prone to
