ORION® 940 MOISTURE METER
With its electromagnetic field, your Orion® 940 moisture meter covers a relatively large cross-sectional area each time you take a reading, giving you a far better representation than other technologies of the true moisture content of your wood.
Your Orion® 940 is best-suited for wood thicknesses from .25 inches (6mm) up to 1.5 inches (38mm). The meter can be used on non-solid wood products, and the Species Setting Booklet includes a few settings for some of these common materials
