Orion 930-950. The Orion 910 is an ideal tool for all applications where knowing the correct moisture content deeper in the wood is critical.

The Orion Series. The new Orion series is the next generation of pinless moisture meters from Wagner Meters featuring accuracy, versatility, and quality that can’t be found in other meters. Incorporating enhanced technology based on feedback about our beloved MMC line, the new Orion line (with multiple patents pending) leaves our competitors in the saw dust.

Every Orion meter features pinless technology…a non-damaging way to quickly and accurately measure the moisture content of wood. (This also eliminates the frustrations and costs of broken pins!) On-Site Calibration 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.

Deep Depth Measurements The Orion 910 Deep Depth Pinless Moisture Meter is ideal for reading the moisture content in wood thicknesses from .75” (19mm) to 1.5” (38mm).

Shallow Depth Measurements The Orion 920 Shallow Depth Pinless Moisture Meter provides the capability to measure moisture content from the surface down to ¼” deep inside the wood specimen. This is particularly useful for checking wood moisture content after application of waterborne finishes or for thin wood such as checking moisture content during wood flooring acclimation.

IntelliSense™ Technology Orion 910, 930, 940, and 950 pinless wood moisture meters incorporate IntelliSense™ technology in their ¾” 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.

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. Data Collection The Orion 940 and 950 can collect data in two modes…either manual or automatic with viewable moisture stats.

Bluetooth App Enabled The Orion 950 interacts through Bluetooth technology with both Woodshop MC™ and FloorSmart™ free mobile apps for your Android or Apple smart device. The apps are available on either Google Play or iTunes. You can receive and record data, set specifications for separate jobs, and much more!

Temperature and Humidity Sensor Get the ambient temperature and relative humidity measurements of any room the Orion 950 is in with its built-in sensor. It’s like having a Smart Logger™ and a moisture meter all in one! 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.

With simple up/down arrow buttons, your Orion meter can be easily and quickly set for the wood species you need to measure, and the range of settings accommodates practically any softwood or hardwood species in the world. Orion’s can also be user-configured to measure some non-solid wood products such as plywood, OSB, or MDF.

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.

Dew Point Calculations Throw out your calculator because the Orion 950 will calculate the dew point of the environment for you. Utilizing the built-in temperature and humidity sensor the Orion 950 will calculate and display the current dew point whenever and wherever you need.
Page 13
Equilibrium Moisture Content The Orion 950 will also calculate the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of the environment where your wood is stored. This will allow you to verify that your shop or plant environment is conducive for the proper acclimation of wood. Grains Per Pound/Kilogram Mode Grains per pound/kilogram (GPP/GPK) is a more precise measurement to know the exact weight of water vapor that is in the surrounding air.
