mini-Ligno DX/C, Electrode E12 in Case: most popular Package D-2C

An indispensable tool.  

Measurements with the Electrode E12 are considered the industry standard in quality control. Moisture checks are recommended when the lumber comes off the truck, during storage, during various stages of manufacturing and at the inspection before shipping. Also for installing and inspecting hardwood floors.

As the teflonized pins are hammered towards the core consecutive readings indicate changes in moisture. Under or unevenly dried lumber can be easily detected. 

One step up from the Pkg D-2C: 

>> Lignometer Pkg K-2 with 150 individualized 

species settings and temperature correction.

1 pair each of pins DZ and DA, the BNC-mini Cable and the Case M.

  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 that is 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 electrodes - to evaluate concrete or 

reach hidden areas for moisture testing, even behind 7" of insulation.

For more options see >> DX/C Packages.

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.

Pins for mini-Lignos :  

#MA Pins for a measuring depth of  3/16"

#MB Pins for a measuring depth of  7/16"

We use our experience and expertise to manufacture moisture meters 

that are consistently reliable and accurate.

Over 220,000 mini-Lignos sold worldwide.

Depth

Electrode

E12

The Electrode E12 can be used for wood or soft building materials (drywall, plaster...) to a maximum measuring depth of 2" (50mm). For up to 7" (17.5cm) measuring depth see >>Electrode E16>>

The slide hammer is moved up and down to drive the pins in and out of the wood. Teflon-insulated pins measure only between the tips and give core readings even if the surface is wet. The professional tool to obtain true core readings. Ideal for checking sub floors without removing floor boards or measuring fiber boards through stucco or testing structural lumber.   

Electrode E12, including 1 pair DZ pins and 1 pair DA pins

weight 3.5pds (1600g), length w/o pins 12" (30cm)  

Pins for E12

Teflon-insulated pins for Electrode E12 only:

DZ: Measuring depth 1" (25mm), total length 1 5/8" (42mm)

DB: Measuring depth 2" (50mm), total length 2 5/8" (68mm)  

Cable for E12

The BNC-mini Cable connects the Electrode E12 to the  

mini-Ligno DX/C. The cable has 2mm plugs on one 

end and a BNC connector on the other end.

Standard cable length is 3 ft (1m), available also 6ft (2m).

BNC-mini Cable (3ft)

Case
