Frequently asked questions

What makes the L5200 different from the L5300?

The L5300 offers advanced connectivity and compatibility features. It supports the L722 Lumber Stack Probe to measure hidden moisture deep within stickered lumber stacks, and it includes a USB data port for seamless integration with WoodStat Pro software for data management and quality control.

What is WoodStat Pro, and how does it work with the L5300?

WoodStat Pro is a Windows-based software that allows you to upload, organize, and analyze data collected from the L5300. It generates reports, histograms, and statistics for improved moisture management, drying optimization, and quality control documentation.

How do I use the L722 Lumber Stack Probe with the L5300?

Connect the legacy adapter to the probe port, then attach the L722 Stack Probe. Secure the cable to the handle using the included strap. Refer to the L722 manual for detailed instructions.

How does a pinless meter like the L5300 measure moisture?

Unlike pin meters that use electrical resistance and puncture the wood, the L5300 uses IntelliSense electromagnetic wave technology to scan deep into the wood, up to 1 inch below the surface, without causing any damage.

Can I use it on 4x4 or thicker lumber?

Yes. For thicker material, simply scan all sides to ensure full moisture assessment.

How do I verify my L5300’s calibration?

Use the included On-Demand Calibrator (ODC) block to confirm accuracy. If readings differ from the block’s reference value, recalibration may be needed. For certified verification, you can use the NIST-traceable ODC with documented calibration.

How do I calibrate my L5300 meter?

Easily calibrate your L5300 meter with the included On-Demand Calibrator. Click here for a step-by-step tutorial on how to do so.

Does the L5300 retain data when batteries are removed?

Yes. The meter is equipped with non-volatile memory, which preserves stored readings even when the batteries are taken out.

Does orientation matter when taking a reading?

Yes. Always position the meter with the grain of the wood to ensure accurate readings.
