Moisture Meters for
Portable Sawmill and
Lumber Drying Operations

Superior Accuracy, On-Demand Calibration

If you’re drying your lumber, you absolutely need to keep track of the lumber’s moisture content with a rugged, reliable and accurate sawmill moisture meter. Wagner’s Orion line of moisture meters utilizes Wagner’s long-proven non-pin technology to provide superior accuracy, but all measurement instruments need to be periodically checked for calibration, and, if necessary, recalibrated back to factory standards. This process is critical. And, like many other measurement instruments, moisture meters are electronic devices that could lose calibration when dropped or used in a rough environment.

With competitive moisture meters, you may be able to verify when they are out of calibration, but not actually recalibrate them yourself. If they do need recalibration, you have to send it to the manufacturer – an inconvenience costing you time and money.

Not with Orion. It’s the only sawmill moisture meter that allows you, the user, to recalibrate your own meter back to factory standards. No shipping to the factory, no waiting and no downtime because of it. And with Orion meters, calibration is a breeze. Using our On-Demand Calibrator, it takes you less than a minute and you’re back in business.

Easy, Fast Species Adjustment

With Orion moisture meters, you can easily and quickly set the wood species you need to measure using the Fast Selection Species Setting capability. A quick reference species settings guide comes with the Orion moisture meter to help you quickly set the right value. Choose from a comprehensive worldwide list of hardwoods, softwoods, and exotic tropical species. And Wagner has an extensive online species database.

Data Collection

If you need to keep track of and document moisture measurement statistics, you can use the data collection function of our Orion 950 model to help you improve the quality of your lumber drying. It allows you to record and store stats like high/low/average moisture content readings of your wood. And with our 950 model, equipped to connect to our free Woodshop MC app via Bluetooth®, you can send and save data on your mobile device into separate job categories, and more.

Pinless

For decades, Wagner’s pinless moisture measurement technology has provided huge time savings for our customers, and Orion is no different. You can accurately measure boards in a tenth of the time that it would take with a pin meter. And with Orion’s pinless technology, you don’t have unsightly holes or the hassle of dealing with broken pins.

Rubber Boot and Hard Case

In a rugged sawmill environment, protecting your moisture meter is paramount. All Orion meters come with a rugged protective rubber boot and come standard with a rugged, foam-lined hard case.

7-Year Warranty

Your Orion meter is protected by our industry-best 7-year warranty. That – along with our exceptional customer service and application support – makes owning an Orion worry-free.
