Lignomat S-10 Manual

Package S-10
Description
The S-10 package consists of the moisture meter mini-Ligno S/DC for measurements
anywhere, anytime and cables and screws for remote monitoring.
Applications
For instant measurements spot-by-spot with the pins at the mini-Ligno S/DC and moni-
toring of remote, hard to reach areas with extension cables. For all applications where
moisture is of concern in buildings. Works for short and long-term monitoring,
Too much moisture, undetected for a prolonged time can cause severe damage inside a
building. Detection is the first step in prevention.
Advantages
The mini-Ligno S/DC moisture meter has a wide moisture range and calibrations for
softwood, hardwood, panel products as well as drywall, wall boards and other building
materials.
Extension cables allow monitoring areas which could be otherwise hard to reach or
inaccessible. Once cables/pins are installed, measurement can be taken at any time
to check progress in drying after water damage or to check if a problem re-occurrs
later-on. Add EL pins to reach up to 7" deep.
The mini-Ligno S/DC is a right meter for the construction, restoration and building
maintenance professional. It comes with pins and a connection for external elec-
trodes and monitor cables. Features are the wide measuring range and corrections for
measuring softwood, hardwood and panel products, gypsum and different types of wall
boards and a reference scale for concrete and other building materials.
Easiest monitoring of moisture problem areas
Leaky roofs, wet crawl spaces, faulty installed windows, broken pipes, a cracked wa-
terline behind a refrigerator can be a cause for moisture problems that affect the entire
building. Unnoticed moisture infiltration can have severe consequences, floors are
ruined, dry rot develops and structural components disintegrate.
Monitoring: Using extension cables has the advantage, that areas can be monitored,
which are out of easy reach when a building is being dried out or totally inaccessible
after the walls are closed up. System works well for short and long-term monitoring in
buildings. Measurements taken from the same spot at the same depth at different times
will produce a series of truly comparable moisture percentages.
The values show, if drying is proceeded as expected or if a new problem is occurring.
Pins (screws) are installed in the trouble spot and connected to a LP-mini cable. When
using screws, the meter indicates the highest moisture value in the measured area
between the screws. That could be at the surface or at the depth the screws have
been set, because un-coated screws measure the wettest spot. Teflon-coated pins only
measure at the tip, They will indicate a dry inside even if the surface is wet. See pins
page 3.
Standard cable length is 3 ft, upon request we supply cables up to 50ft long. Cables
should be ordered long enough to keep the open cable-end in an easily accessible
area. Measurements are taken by plugging the open cable-end into the meter. If cables
are already installed to monitor the drying-out process, they could be left in place for
long-term monitoring.
