Frequently asked questions
What is an Orion pinless moisture meter?
The Orion series of pinless moisture meters features accuracy, versatility, and quality that can’t be found in other meters. Incorporating enhanced technology, the Orion line leaves our competitors in the sawdust with high-speed moisture content readings, on-site calibration, and relative measurement mode for non-wood products - all backed by our industry-leading 7-year warranty.
How does an Orion pinless moisture meter work?
Orion Pinless meters send out electromagnetic waves from the sensor pad, creating a field that scans the area underneath. The meter then interprets the signal it receives back to provide an accurate moisture content reading. Unlike pin-style meters that measure in one small spot, pinless meters scan a larger area, giving you a more complete picture of the wood's moisture content.
How do I calibrate an Orion wood moisture meter?
- Make sure the serial number on your On-Demand Calibrator (ODC) matches the serial number on your meter.
- Place the ODC on its legs on a non-metallic surface.
- Turn the meter on, then use the SPECIES/MATERIAL button to put your meter in CAL mode.
- Place the meter on the ODC, correctly “seating” the meter sensor pad firmly in the recessed area of the ODC. IMPORTANT: Failure to correctly and firmly “seat” the sensor pad in the recessed area will cause an inaccurate calibration.
- Apply light downward pressure, and press the AUDIO button 3 times. The meter will begin to make a “beeping” sound, which indicates it’s going through the calibration process.
- When the calibration procedure is completed, the meter will display the word LIFT. Immediately remove the meter from the ODC, and hold the meter in the air for approximately 5 seconds until the word DONE appears on the display.
- Press the ON/HOLD to return the meter to normal measuring mode.

Should I Choose an Orion Meter or an L622 Digital Recording Industrial Meter?
The right choice depends on your specific needs:
Orion Pinless Meters:
Orion meters easily fit in your pocket for on-the-go use. They measure moisture at depths of 1/4 inch, 3/4 inch, or both, making them ideal for woodworkers, flooring installers, and professionals who need fast, accurate readings in various settings.
L622 Digital Recording Industrial Meter:
The L622 is built for heavy industrial applications, such as sawmills and wood manufacturing plants. It measures deeper, up to 1 inch into the wood, and features a larger scanning plate for enhanced coverage. Additionally, it includes moisture analysis software, making it perfect for processing large quantities of wood and ensuring consistency in manufacturing. In addition, the L622 can connect with the L722 Lumber Stack Probe, enabling you to measure wood deep within a stickered stack of wood.

El mejor metro que haya usado. Muy simple de usar y sobre todo su precisión. Altamente recomendado.
Das Wagner Orion 930 Holzfeuchtemessgerät hat mich restlos überzeugt. Als professioneller Tischler lege ich großen Wert auf genaue Feuchtigkeitsmessungen, und dieses Gerät liefert genau das.Die Messgenauigkeit des Orion 930 ist hervorragend. Egal, ob ich Hartholz, Weichholz oder exotische Holzarten messe, die Ergebnisse sind stets präzise und zuverlässig. Das Gerät ist werkskalibriert und lässt sich für verschiedene Holzarten leicht einstellen, was die Messungen noch genauer macht.Die Bedienung ist intuitiv und benutzerfreundlich. Das große, gut ablesbare Display zeigt die Feuchtigkeitswerte klar und deutlich an. Besonders hilfreich finde ich die Tiefenmessungstechnologie, die Messungen bis zu einer Tiefe von 19 mm ermöglicht. So kann ich sicherstellen, dass das gesamte Holzstück die richtige Feuchtigkeit hat und nicht nur die Oberfläche.Das robuste Gehäuse des Orion 930 macht einen sehr soliden Eindruck. Es ist gut geschützt und hält auch den rauen Bedingungen auf Baustellen oder in der Werkstatt stand. Die Batterielaufzeit ist bemerkenswert lang, sodass ich über längere Zeit hinweg zuverlässig arbeiten kann, ohne ständig die Batterien wechseln zu müssen.Insgesamt bin ich extrem zufrieden mit dem Wagner Orion 930 Holzfeuchtemessgerät. Es ist präzise, einfach zu bedienen und robust – genau das, was ich in meinem Arbeitsalltag brauche. Für jeden, der professionell mit Holz arbeitet oder einfach nur die Feuchtigkeit seines Brennholzes prüfen möchte, ist dieses Gerät eine klare Empfehlung. 5 Sterne!
I appreciate the accuracy and ability of reading moisture and both 0.25” and 0.75”. I never trusted my old pin meter, but this one shows consistent readings.
This meter is a game changer. I never have to wonder if my wood slabs are fully dried or not. This little guy clearly tells me what I have for moisture in my slabs.
This is so much nicer to use than my old pin meter. Seems accurate out of the box. Easy to set for different wood species and so much better for hardwoods. Should have upgraded years ago. Thanks Orion, seems like a big investment but well worth it.
