Introduction
Congratulations!
You have purchased one of the most
accurate moisture measurement instruments for wood in the world. Using
electromagnetic wave technology, handheld moisture meters from Wagner Meters
have been proven by universities and
institutes worldwide to provide superior
measurement results.
With its electromagnetic eld, your
Wagner moisture meter covers a relatively
large cross-sectional area1 each time you
take a reading, giving you a far better
representation than other technologies of
the true moisture content of your wood.
Pin-type meters only measure a very small
area, and only at a particular depth, giving
you very limited insight into the true
moisture content of the wood. Very short,
non-insulated pins are especially prone to
3
just reading the surface of your wood.
Wagner moisture meters read IN the
wood, not just on the wood.
Your Wagner L606 meter measures the
moisture content in a 1 ½ inch wide by 2
½ inch long by ¾ inch (minimum) thick
volume of your wood. The Wagner L607
meter measures a ½ inch (minimum)
thick volume of wood. This closely
approximates the full-thickness crosssection method used when performing the
ASTM D4442-92 Oven Dry lab test for
determining moisture content in wood.
This ASTM standard (and its international
counterparts) is the standard to which all
moisture meters for wood are compared
for accuracy. Wagner technology has been
proven in many studies to provide some of
the most accurate results in the industry
when compared to this worldwide
standard.

Other important features of Wagner
hand-held meters include:
• The “Wood-Friendly”™ L606
and L607 meters use advanced
electromagnetic wave technology
to accurately measure wood
1
moisture content.
• Virtually unaffected by wood
2
temperature or surface moisture
Since 1965, Wagner Meters has been
providing quality moisture measurement
equipment. Wagner Meters is the leading
supplier of moisture measurement
equipment for the primary forest products
industry. Wagner Meters’ technology has
been proven to provide some of the most
accurate results in the industry when
compared to this worldwide standard.

Instructions
TO OPERATE:
Press and release the ON
button.
Take readings by pressing the bottom of the
meter to the wood
surface. The meter will automatically
shut off after 60 seconds of inactivity.
1. Read the % MC on the panel meter
(Figure 1). If the wood is Douglas
Fir, the scale reading indicates the %
MC in the wood.
2. If the wood is not Douglas Fir, you
must make a species correction.
SPECIES ADJUSTMENT TABLES are
provided. When measuring a species other
than Douglas Fir, use the tables to locate
your species and corresponding meter
reading.
7
Example:
Your meter rea-
Figure 1
ding is 13%
(Figure 1). Your
species is Basswood, American.
Locate your species on the tables provided.
Find the species in the appropriate row.
Find the meter reading in the appropriate
column. Where row and column intersect
is the actual reading for Basswood,
American—16.2%.
THE LOW-BATTERY
light will come on when
the battery needs replacing. Replace with either a
9V alkaline battery. Observe correct polarity.
CALIBRATION is factory set. Factory
calibration can be veried using a
calibration verication block (CVB). The
CVB is for calibration verication only.
8
NEVER calibrate your moisture meter to
this device.
Additional Instructions for Model L607
ONLY
WATERBORNE FINISHES
can be quickly scanned between
applications.
1. Simply check the base moisture content of the wood before applying a
waterborne nish.
2. After application of nish, scan rep-
resentative area of the wood and note
the elevated moisture content.
3. Re-scan at regular intervals until the
moisture reading once more drops to
the base level rst recorded before
applying nish.
4. When the reading matches the baselevel reading, the wood is ready for
recoating.

Features
The Wagner L606 “Inspector” Moisture
Meter
Designed to t comfortably in a jacket
pocket or toolbox, the L606 is ideal for
anyone who needs a professional quality
tool to inspect wood or wood products for
accurate moisture content. It is popular
with installers, woodworkers, cabinet and
furniture makers, contractors, and quality
assurance inspectors.
• Deep penetrating, pin-free inspecting
ends wood abuse.
• Quick whole-board scanning.
• Proven technology used by agencies
to grade a large percentage of U.S.
3
wood.
• Accurate and consistent–conrmed

Conrmed in university study–Information available upon request.
10
The Wood-Friendly L606 uses advanced
electromagnetic wave technology to
accurately measure wood moisture content
from 5% to 30% to a depth of ¾″. There
are no pins to “abuse” wood and leave
ugly holes.
The Wagner L607 “Dual Depth” Moisture Meter
Represents the latest in electromagnetic
eld (EMF) technology. This meter is
ideal for the professional concerned about
accurate moisture measurement of nished
wood products . . . and for managing the
application of waterborne nishes.
• Fast operating–quickly scan large
portions of wood for a more accurate
picture of moisture content.
• When using waterborne nishes,
know exactly when to recoat and
avoid costly waiting and guessing
when sealer and nish are dry. The
11
L607 is specially calibrated to read
waterborne nish applications and
yet work as a regular wood moisture
meter when doing inspections.
• Handy to use–ts comfortably in
your hand, and stores easily in a
jacket pocket or toolbox.
• Useful for inspections of all types,
including solid and laminated prod
-
ucts–½″ scan depth.
• Accurately measure wood moisture
content3 from 5% to 30% using
advanced electromagnetic wave
technology.
• NO PINS to “abuse” wood and
leave ugly holes.
12
Taking Measurements
Be sure to press down rmly on the center
of the meter with proximately 3 pounds
of pressure to ensure good sensor plate
contact with the wood surface. This is
especially important on rough-sawn
4
lumber.
Do not take readings where
there is a noticeable defect or knot in the
lumber.
If there is visible surface moisture or
water, wipe off any excess, and let the
surface of the wood dry-out for a couple of
minutes, then take the reading. If possible,
turn the board over and measure the
other side. If the thickness of the piece is
greater than 1 ½ inches (1 inch with
L607), it is a good idea to take
measurements on both sides.
Ensure that there is nothing (especially
your hand or metal) under the material
you are measuring. The actual moisture
13
sensing area is a 1½ inch by 2½ inch
rectangle on the meter’s backside
(opposite side of the panel meter). In order
to take a valid measurement, this sensing
area must be completely covered with the
wood you are measuring. If the sensing
area is not completely covered, your
moisture reading will be inaccurate.
Additional meter corrections may be
necessary if you are measuring Raft Wood
(salt water permeated), or lumber treated
with CCA, ACQ or any other treatment
with metallic or other components that
5
might bias the moisture readings.
Footnotes:

Contact Wagner Technical Services for further information for these applications.
14
Species Corrections
The dry specic gravity (density) values
for a species are based on the best, current
world data, and are used to determine the
species correction factor within the meter.
The values provide average density
values for the species. A coefcient of
variation (COV) of about 10% describes
the variability inherent in many common
domestic (US) species.
If the specic gravity of your lumber
is not listed in the Species Settings
Tables provided or you are dealing
with an unknown species, the value
may be determined by referring to the
“Determining the Specic Gravity”
section of this manual. Additional
resources are:
• Wagner Meters Specic Gravity

• Woodworker’s Source (Wood
Library) at

com/wood_library.php
• The Wood Handbook at:
http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/
fplgtr/fplgtr113/fplgtr113.htm
• The Forest Products Lab at http://
www.fpl.fs.fed.us/.
The Wagner hand-meters can be used
to measure non-wood materials if the
density is similar to wood products. Nonwood species can be measured by using
the meter reading as a relative value such
as in “go/no-go” applications, or when
determining if one measurement area
contains more moisture than another, i.e.
measurements that do not require a high
absolute accuracy. SG formulas can’t be
applied to non-solid wood species due to
the presence of glues and resins, which
cause a non-linear moisture content
curve. If greater accuracy is required, the
16
ASTM oven-dry procedure can be used
to determine a meter correction value for
non-solid woods.
Please contact Wagner Meters worldwide toll-
free at (800) 944-7078 for additional information
on species corrections if needed.
17
Measuring Veneer
Checking the moisture content in veneer
You can check the moisture content of
veneer with your Wagner hand-held
moisture meter as follows:
1. Put veneer into a tight stack and
separate the stack by at least 3 inches
to 4 inches from the rest of the stack.
Vary the thickness of the stack according to unit penetration depth,
example: L606 has a ¾″ depth of
penetration. Measuring a stack less
than the scan depth of the meter will
give you a reading that is lower than
the true moisture reading. Refer to
the species adjustment section in
your manual for the wood you are
using.
2. Electro Static Discharge (ESD)
needs to be prevented, as Wagner’s
warranty doesn’t cover ESD damage.
18
The instruments are tested to
withstand a 15 KV static charge but
not the typical 150 - 250 KV found
in a veneer charge. The veneer table
should be earth grounded with a
metal wand attached by wire to the
table. The wand must then be run up
and down the edge of a veneer stack
to discharge static, or the person using the moisture meter must have
a Velcro wristband with a tethered
strap which is grounded. These same
static precautions apply to lumber
moving from a planer; the handmeter is not an in-line measurement
system. This unit is meant to check
lumber while stationary.
If these guidelines are adhered to, the risk
of ESD damage to your moisture meter is
greatly reduced or eliminated. Please call
the factory if you have any questions or
concerns about this information.
19
Meter Calibration
The meter has been calibrated at the
factory and should not require recalibration. If you need to have the
calibration veried, please contact the
Wagner Meters Sales Department to
purchase a calibration verication block
if you don’t already have one. Should
the meter need to have a calibration
adjustment, it will need to be returned to
Wagner Technical Services Department.
Meter Storage
For a long service life, it is important
to store your meter properly. Avoid
excessively hot or cold locations and keep
the meter in the case provided. Do not
store the meter in an area with excessive
electromagnetic interference, such as near
an electric motor, or where it could be
crushed, such as in front of a forklift. Do
not leave the meter in an operating kiln
during the drying cycle.

Questions & Answers
#1 Theory of Operation
Q: How do Wagner Hand-Held Moisture
Meters operate?
A: Wagner Hand-Held Moisture Meters
send technologically advanced electromagnetic radio waves deep into the wood
without leaving destructive holes. Known
around the world for speed and accuracy,
Wagner meters supply instant readings,
scanning large amounts of board feet in
seconds. Virtually unaffected by tempera-
6
and humidity, they scan right
ture
through nished products.
Footnote:

For frozen wood with up to 15% moisture content, accurate measurements can be
obtained. When the frozen lumber moisture content is suspected to be over 15%,
contact Wagner technical support.
21
Questions & Answers cont’d…
#2 Gradients and Wet Pockets
Q: What about gradients and wet pockets?
A: Although the various drying processes
for green lumber can leave wet cores and
pockets, moisture continues to pass from
ber to ber within the wood until it has
equalized throughout the whole board.
Determining if a board or load of lumber
will equalize within tolerance levels can be
difcult and tricky, but Wagner Moisture
Meters provide this information automatically. Penetrating deep into the
wood, they mathematically determine
equalized moisture content and allow
the user to check truckloads of material
in minutes. For even more convenience,
many companies use their Wagner HandHeld Meters to read through the plastic
wrapping around the wood on new
deliveries before they allow unloading.
22
#3 Where are Readings Taken
Q: Where is the reading taken with a pin-
type meter? With a Wagner Hand-Held?
A: Pin-type Meters take their measurements between the tips of the pins
only, if using insulated pins. When using
non-insulated pins you are getting a
reading between the pins at only one point
between them at which you have most the
moisture. In contrast, Wagner Hand-Held
Moisture Meters generate a three-dimen-
sional eld and give an average reading
of the material within the sensing area
and depth of penetration for the model of
meter you are using.
#4 Surface Moisture
Is my Wagner Moisture Meter
Q:
affected by surface moisture?
A: Most moisture meters can be affected
by standing water or visible water on
the board. You should always wipe off as
23
Questions & Answers cont’d…
much excess water as possible. Once the
standing water is removed, your Wagner
Moisture Meter will read slightly higher
than normal, whereas other types of
meters can show greatly exaggerated
readings. An exception to this is the
Wagner Model L607. This unit was
designed to measure surface moisture to
test the cure of waterborne nishes.
NOTE: If water is allowed to soak into
the wood, it will naturally show higher
moisture content. If a piece of wood is
quite rough, it will soak up the water quite
readily, affecting readings for all meters.
24
#5 Narrow Lumber
Q: What is the narrowest piece of lumber
I can measure accurately with the Wagner
Hand-Held Moisture Meter?
A: This would depend on the model you
are using. The narrowest piece you could
measure would be a minimum of 7/8 inch.
#6 Board Thickness
Q: What board thickness can I measure?
A: This would depend on the model you
are using. Wagner offers models with ½
inch, ¾ inch and 1-inch penetration.
#7 Meter Orientation
Q: What about the orientation of the
meter on the wood?
A: Your Wagner moisture meter uses
advanced electromagnetic wave technology and is virtually unaffected by
orientation (cross-grain or with the grain)
25
Questions & Answers cont’d…
on the wood except for the model L609
which requires measuring parallel to the
grain.
#8 Meter Ruggedness
Q: How rugged is my Wagner moisture
meter?
A: The Wagner moisture meters are
designed for compact convenience. They
can be damaged by being dropped or
slammed down hard on wood surfaces,
as can any meter. If a large volume of
wood is to be measured, an in-line system
should be used.
#9 Meter Safety
Q: Is the Wagner technology safe to use?
A: Wagner’s electromagnetic wave technology produces less electromagnetic
radiation than standard house wiring.
26
#10 Wagner vs. Pin-Type Meters
Q: How can I take accurate moisture
readings without sticking pins into my
wood? Why doesn’t my new Wagner
Hand-Held Meter read the same moisture
content as my old pin meter?
A: Pin-type meters work on a resistance
principle that basically measures the ow
of electricity through a substance. This
method is subject to many environmental
variables that can dramatically affect
moisture readings such as chemicals in
the water trapped within the wood and the
temperature of the wood. Pin-type meter
readings often need to be corrected for any
difference in temperature above or below
70 degrees F. Wagner Hand-Held Moisture
Meters use advanced electromagnetic wave
technology and are virtually unaffected by
7
surface moisture
Footnote:

The Wagner model L607 has been designed to be sensitive to surface moisture
which takes the guesswork out of when to recoat with waterborne nishes.
or temperature.
27
Questions & Answers cont’d…
#11 Relative Humidity
Q: What are the effects of relative
humidity on Wagner Hand-Held Moisture
Meter readings?
A: As long as there is no condensation
on the bottom surface of the instrument
there is virtually no effect from changes
in relative humidity.
#12 Calibration
Q: Do the meters on the Wagner Hand-
Held products ever require readjustment?
Does my Wagner Hand-Held Moisture
Meter need to be calibrated? If so, how
often must it be done?
A: Wagner meters are calibrated at the
factory. With proper care the meters stay
in calibration. In the event that the meter
has been dropped or you suspect for any
reason that the meter is out of calibration,
28
a calibration verication block is avail-
able. Anytime that the meter is not reading
correctly on the calibration block, it should
be sent to the factory for calibration.
#13 Veneers
Q: Can I use my Wagner moisture meter
to measure veneers?
A: Measuring moisture in veneer requires
specic procedures. Wagner has estab-
lished guidelines for measuring these
materials. See the “Measuring Veneer”
section of this manual for guidelines on
this procedure.
#14 Rough vs. Smooth Lumber
Q: Can I use my Wagner meter to
measure rough-sawn lumber?
A: When measuring rough-sawn lumber
press down rmly on the center of the
meter with approximately 3 pounds of
pressure to ensure good sensor plate
contact with the wood surface. Do not
29
Questions & Answers cont’d…
take readings where there is a noticeable
defect or knot in the lumber.
#15 Sub-Floor Material
Q: Can I use my Wagner meter to measure
sub-oor materials such as plywood or
OSB?
A: Wagner has established guidelines
for measuring these materials. See the
“Plywood and OSB Correction Factors”
section of the Species Adjustment Table
manual for guidelines on this procedure.
#16 Temperature
Q: Are the readings that I take with my
Wagner meter affected by the temperature
of the wood like those taken with a pintype meter?
Wagner’s proven moisture meter
A:
technology is virtually unaffected by wood
30
temperature. Pin-type meters and other
unproven pin-free technologies can be
greatly affected by wood temperature,
which often require corrections.
#17 Accuracy
Q: How accurate are the Wagner Hand-
Held Meters?
A: The Wagner Moisture Meter is as
accurate, or more accurate than any
moisture detector that is on the market.
This can be veried by several university
studies.
#18 Correct Moisture Content
Q: What is proper moisture content for
wood? What moisture content is considered too high or too low?
A: There is no one right answer for this
question. As a rule, different woods and
their uses determine the moisture content.
31
Questions & Answers cont’d…
For instance, if the wood is to be used in
construction as a stud for building, the
moisture-content requirement could be
15% to 19%. If the wood is to be glued
and it is too dry, it will not bond; if it
is too wet, it will not hold. Ideally, the
moisture content of wood to be used for
indoor furniture is between 6% and 8%.
Note: Detailed information on this
subject is available in the video section of
the Moisture Measuring & Management
Reference Library CD supplied with your
moisture meter.
In addition, you can contact your local
university’s forestry department, the
associations supporting your industry’s
professionals, or the Forest Products
Research Laboratory in Madison, WI:

Commentary on Species
Adjustment Tables
In 1992, a study was conducted at the
Forest Research Laboratory of Oregon
State University on species correction
for the Wagner Hand-Held Moisture
Meters. The species tested were Douglas
Fir, Lodgepole Pine, Western Red Cedar,
Western Hemlock, White Fir, Western
Larch, Engelmann Spruce, and White
Oak. Three to four 40-piece samples of
each species were tested. Specic gravity
was found to be the primary factor on
species adjustment. A species equation
as a function of specic gravity and
the meter reading was obtained using
multiple-regression technique
33
Commentary on Species cont’d…
(R-square = 0.95) as follows:
AF = 8.77 + (0.25 * MM) - (15.86 * SG) (0.62 * SG * MM)
in which:
AF = Adjustment Factor
MM = Meter Reading
SG = Species average Specic Gravity
in oven dry weight and 12% moisture
content volume basis.
The species adjustments provide the
adjusted moisture measurements that
are based on the species adjustment
determined using the species adjustment
equation, with rounding to the nearest 0.5.
Wood is not a uniform material. Specic
gravity of solid-sawn lumber varies within
34
the piece and among pieces. In the OSU
study, the average specic gravity for
each species differed from the individual
sample by plus or minus 1% to plus or
minus 8%. For general applications,
average specic gravity values can be
found in the Wood Handbook (USDA
Agriculture Handbook No. 72, 1999).
Except for one species for which the
experimental value is 7% higher, the
species’ overall average specic gravity
values obtained in the OSU study are
comparable with those in the Wood
Handbook. The exception may be caused
by unknown biases in the sampling
scheme. The Wood Handbook values are
used in the tables, except for the imported
species, unless otherwise noted.
Species adjustment can be determined
for lumber sorted, or otherwise known,
to have specic gravity different from the
species’ average. One example is lumber
35
Commentary on Species cont’d…
graded under the Dense rules. If the
specic gravity of a lumber sample
is known, species adjustment can be
determined by the species adjustment
equation.
The species adjustment equation provides
a way to expand the use of your Wagner
Hand-Held Moisture Meter for lumber of
any species groups having similar species-
specic gravity values. One example is
Hem-Fir. For a species group, one way
to determine the species adjustment is
by the use of a weighted average of the
individual species’ average specic gravity
values. The weighing procedure used in
the ASTM D2555 by standing timber
volume can be used. Species adjustment
is not recommended for any species group
having a broad range of species-specic
gravity values. There are no recognized
limits on species group species adjustment.
36
Species adjustment for species groups
should be used with knowledge on the
variability on species involved and the
effect of it on species adjustment. If the
species mix in the lumber production of
a species group is controlled or known
to have specic gravity different from
that used for the species group, a better
estimation of species adjustment can be
determined using the known specic
gravity in the above species correction
equation.
37
Determining Specic Gravity
The adjustment table based on specic
gravity of solid wood is provided on the
following page. If you don’t know the
species of the wood you are using, or the
specic gravity differs from the handbook
because of a different growing region, use
the following procedure.
1. Select a sample of wood with all
edges being true. Carefully measure
the dimensions of the sample using
a caliper. You will need the length,
width, and thickness.
2. Convert these measurements to feet.
3. Carefully measure the weight of the
sample.
4. Convert the weight to pounds.
5. Calculate specic gravity.
38
Determining Specic continued…
Example:
Length = 10 in. 10 in. / 12 in. = 0.833 ft.
Width = 7.5 in. 7.5 in. / 12 in. = 0.625 ft.
Thickness = 1.5 in. 1.5 in. / 12 in. = 0.125 ft.
Volume = L x W x T
Weight = 20 oz. 20 oz. / 16 oz. = 1.25 lb.
0.833 x 0.625 x 0.125 = 0.065 cu. ft.
Specic Gravity:
(Weight / Volume) / Specic Gravity of water
(1.25 lb. / 0.065 cu. ft.) / 62.34 lb. / cu. ft.
= 0.31
In order to ensure that the value obtained
for the specic gravity is statistically
signicant, a number of pieces must be
measured, and the average determined.
Use this value of specic gravity with the
table provided to nd the actual adjustment
factor for your species of wood.
39
Zero Adjusting
WARNING!
DO NOT USE THIS SECTION
OF THE MANUAL UNLESS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!
BECAUSE of the stability of the circuit
in these products, a person virtually never
has to adjust the zero setting.
ZERO ADJUSTING a meter is a twostep process. (1) With the power OFF,
adjust the PHYSICAL ZERO (Figure 1)
until the needle rests precisely on the
lowest mark on the scale (Figure 2). (2)
Remove the DRY BOX ZERO cap (Figure
1). Hold the meter in midair so that the
bottom is level and several feet from any
object. Press and release the ON button;
this will cause the needle to rest near the
lower edge of the DRY BOX. Insert a
40
small screwdriver into the hole and adjust
the DRY BOX ZERO until the needle
rests precisely on the lower edge of the
DRY BOX (Figure 3).
