The L5300 industrial hand-held wood moisture meter from Wagner Meters is built for sawmills, kiln operators, and wood product manufacturers who demand accuracy and efficiency. Powered by Wagner’s IntelliSense pinless sensor technology, the company says it provides fast, reliable readings of wood moisture content, measuring deeper into the wood, not just on the surface.

With a reading depth of 1 inch, the L5300 also integrates seamlessly with the L722 Lumber Stack Probe, allowing users to detect moisture deep within stickered stacks, crucial for identifying inconsistencies that may affect product quality. The meter stores up to 1,000 readings across 100 groups and includes a histogram mode to visualize moisture variation at a glance.

For professionals managing moisture trends over time, the L5300 features a USB communication port for direct data export to Wagner’s WoodStat Pro software. This enables streamlined reporting, custom species management, and enhanced quality control. The meter also comes factory-calibrated and includes an On-Demand Calibrator for ongoing verification of accuracy or on-site calibration.

Durable, easy to use, and equipped with advanced data capabilities, the L5300 is a vital tool for ensuring lumber meets industry moisture standards - reducing waste, improving efficiency, and protecting your bottom line.
