Data Collection
The Orion 940 can collect data in two modes…either manual or
automatic with viewable moisture stats. The Orion 940 can store up to
100 readings and includes high-low-average analysis.
Dual Depth Measurements
The 940 takes moisture readings in your wood from the surface down to
.25” (6.4mm) in depth in the shallow scan mode or from the surface down
to .75”(19mm) in the deep scan mode.
IntelliSense™ Technology
Orion 910, 930, 940, and 950 pinless wood moisture meters incorporate
IntelliSense™ technology in their ¾” (19mm) deep reading modes. This
enables accurate determination of the moisture content deeper in the
wood while minimizing the effect that surface moisture will have on the
meter readings. Pin-type meters may be able to bypass the surface
conditions, but they also damage the surface of the wood every time you
take a reading.
Fast Selection Species Settings
With simple up/down arrow buttons, your Orion 940 meter can be easily
and quickly set for the wood species you need to measure. Plus, the
range of settings accommodates practically any softwood or hardwood
species in the world. The Orion 940 can also be configured to measure
some non-solid wood products such as plywood, OSB, or MDF. Orion meters
also have species settings for many bamboo flooring products.
Non-Damaging Pinless Sensor
Every Orion meter features electromagnetic wave technology…a
non-damaging way to quickly and accurately measure the moisture content
of wood or other materials. Compared against pin meters, the pinless
sensor technology of the Orion line of meters does not damage the wood
and also eliminates the frustrations and costs of broken pins, common
with pin-type meters.
Virtually Unaffected by Temperature
Every Orion pinless meter is virtually unaffected by the temperature
of the wood or the environment. Unlike pin meters, Orion’s sensing
technology does not need correction or adjustment to account for the
temperature of the wood.
True In-The-Field Calibration
There is no need to return your Orion to the factory for calibration.
Every Orion meter comes with an individually paired On-Demand
Calibrator allowing you to easily calibrate your meter anytime*,
ensuring that you will always be able to obtain accurate moisture
measurements. A NIST-traceable version, with a certificate of
calibration, can also be purchased.
Relative Moisture Measurement Mode
A relative moisture measurement mode allows for taking relative
moisture measurements in non-wood based materials and engineered wood
flooring. This means you can use an Orion moisture meter to obtain
relative moisture conditions on a number of non-wood building materials
and flooring products.
Press to Hold Readings
On every Orion moisture meter, if you press down once on the ON/HOLD
button it will hold the moisture reading you took. This is quite useful
if you’re measuring in a hard to reach area.
Programmable Alarm
The Orion 940 includes a user-programmable, audible alarm for high moisture content levels.
