The Orion 910 Deep Depth Pinless Wood Moisture Meter Kit features the Orion 910, which is designed to build upon the capabilities of the popular Wagner MMC220 meter it replaces. The Orion 910 takes moisture readings in your wood or other material from the surface down to .75” (19mm) in depth. A flexible rubber boot makes the 910 durable enough to withstand your toughest jobs.

The Orion 910 joins the rest of the Orion line of meters in being the first in the industry to provide true in-the-field calibration capability with the included On-Demand Calibrator. Calibrate your Orion 910 at your location in about 30 seconds whenever you want. The Orion line of wood moisture meters continues Wagner’s 50-plus year tradition of providing accurate, dependable non-damaging pinless moisture measurement technology, measuring IN the wood not just ON the wood, and backed by Wagner’s industry-leading 7-year warranty.

Meter Features:

Deep Depth Measurement

The 910 takes moisture readings deep in your wood from .75" (19mm) up to 1.5 inches (38mm).

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 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 910 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. *patent pending

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 includes a user-programmable, audible alarm for high moisture content levels.

7-Year Warranty

Wagner Meters is proud to include the Orion line of pinless moisture meters within our Genuine Wagner 7-Year Warranty program. The longest-lasting warranty in the industry! Have questions? Give us a call: (541) 291-5124

I've been using a pin meter and thought I was getting fairly accurate readings. When my last table I made curled on the end, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the 910. The reading on the PIN meter read 7.8. When I read it with the 910 it was 16.4. If I had gone with the PIN meter and gone ahead and made the table, I'd have the same problem. So glad I made the purchase.

I've bought a couple super cheap probe wood moisture meters. You can read the reviews. Differing moisture readings from all over the board. I've made a couple of projects from wood I thought were air dried enough and weren't. In fact I'm sitting next to a giant maple cookie from my son's first home. I've made the leap into selling projects and making custom projects. One split can lose you a customer and never get a referral. The amount of this meter may cost me two projects to pay for but will likely last me years. I don't kiln dry yet so getting accurate moisture readings is critical. I also have a small sawmill that warranted the purchase. I can now put moisture readings on the rough lumber live edge slabs I sell. From what I've researched this one of the two or three brand goto's for sawyers and has been for years. Tough to beat their reputation. Just made a walnut cookie table a buddy said would sell for $1000 on Etsy. It had consistent 10% reading all over it. Lumber in my stacks read reliably too. So glad I took the plunge.

Need to measure the water content of a slab of wood before you cut it to size? This baby is Very accurate and won’t damage your wood with pins! Wagner does make dome slightly more sophisticated meters, but this one is excellent!

I was tired of poking holes in wood to see what the moisture content was. This made life easy. It came in and went all of my shop and outside wood storage checking moisture. Much improved over the old method. Ok, it is expensive but I think it was worth it.

Really accurate and easy to use! The only bad thing I cab possibly think of is that I don't believe the screen lights up. For the cost, there should be an option to light up the screen, as some times when checking lumber mc in kilns, it can often be dark/hard to see the numbers etc...

The moisture meter gives you an edge when working with wood. Putting out a great product one must understand the movement of wood and why. I chose Wagner because of their reputation. In the end, reputation is everything.

I just received some newly sawn oak and my less expensive pin style meter would give me inconsistent reading. Readings would vary considerably depending on pin depth. Seems to be accurate and very consistent with different wood species and drying times. Used it at Home Depot and it detected large variances of lumber on the same stack. I am very pleased with this meter and I wish I had purchased it in the beginning.

Recently purchased this moisture meter, after reading a substantial number of reviews and comparisons between different meters and option for measuring the drying of hardwood lumber for woodworking. Comes well packaged and padded in its own hard plastic case, which includes the wood specific density guide, instructions and a device specific calibration plate. Took it out for measurements over the past couple of days to my piles of hard maple, walnut, oak, hickory and cherry, and a few home center 2x4s and had measurements done promptly, accurately (based on what I knew about the lumbers age and drying history), and easily - a real breeze to use. Very happy with how simple it is to change to specific density to adjust between species and I can see this being an asset to my lumber purchases for years to come.
