Congratulations!
You have purchased one of the most accurate
moisture measurement instruments for wood
in the world. Using IntelliSenseTM technology,
hand-held moisture meters from Wagner
Meters have been proven by universities
and institutes worldwide to provide superior
measurement results.*
With its electromagnetic eld, your Orion®
940 moisture meter covers a relatively
large cross-sectional area each time you
take a reading, giving you a far better
representation than other technologies of
the true moisture content of your wood.
Wagner moisture meters read IN the wood,
not just on the wood.
INTRODUCTION The 2.0-inch (50mm) wide by 2.5-inch
(63mm) long by either .25-inch (6mm)
or .75-inch (19mm) thick sensor eld
of your Orion® moisture meter closely
approximates the full-thickness cross-
section method used when performing the
ASTM D4442-16 oven-dry lab method.
This ASTM standard (and its international
counterparts) is the standard to which all
moisture meters for wood are compared
for accuracy.
Your Orion® 940 is best-suited for wood
thicknesses from .25 inches (6mm) up to
1.5 inches (38mm). The meter can be used
on non-solid wood products, and the Species
Setting Booklet includes a few settings for
some of these common materials.
In the Standard Measurement mode, your
Orion® 940 measures moisture content
within the 4.0% to 32.0% moisture
content range.
NOTE: Measurement range may vary
slightly depending on species setting of the
meter.

3 4
The Orion® 940 has an easy-to-read
digital display, scaled in 0.1% increments
when in the Standard Measurement mode
for your solid wood applications.
Your Orion® model 940 has data collection
capacity to store readings and get statistical
data. When the data collection mode is
activated you will have the ability to store
and review up to 100 readings and get the
maximum, minimum, and an average of all
stored readings.
Wagner hand-held moisture measurement
technology is virtually unaffected by wood
temperature.**
Since 1965, Wagner Meters has been
providing quality moisture measurement
equipment and Wagner’s technology
has been proven to provide some of the
most accurate results in the industry
when compared to the ASTM D4442-16
Standard. Wagner meters have been used
for years by professional lumber-grading
associations, and meters from Wagner
continue to provide reliable and consistent
moisture measurements, with unsurpassed
convenience and ease of use.
*Information available upon request.**Contact
a Wagner Meters expert at 844-689-0660 if your
wood is very hot or frozen.

A small DP will appear in the lower left corner
of the screen to visually indicate that you are
in 3-4 (¾”) Depth Setting mode (Deep mode).
Grasping the meter on the sides, begin taking
measurements on the face of the wood
pieces by pressing down rmly, making
sure the rectangular sensor plate area on
the back of the meter is pressing rmly on
the wood surface and completely covered
by the wood. Minimum wood dimension
needs to be 2.0 inches (50mm) wide by 2.5
inches (63mm) long by .75 inches (19mm) in
thickness. When taking measurements, make
sure there is a 1-inch (25mm) minimum air
gap underneath the wood you are measuring
(refer to Correct Usage Guidelines section of
this manual).
When you are nished
taking measurements and
wish to turn the meter
off, press the ON/HOLD
button for approximately
2 seconds. Alternatively, the meter will
automatically shut off after approximately
60 seconds of no activity.
YES and then press the DATA button to
activate the clear function. (Note: There is
no prompt after pressing the DATA button.
All stored data will be erased.)
Next, press the SPECIES/
MATERIAL button once,
and the current species
setting (calibrated to specic
gravity) will appear. The
factory default displayed will be 0.50 for
a new meter. Use the UP or DOWN arrow
buttons to set the correct species setting for
the wood species you wish to measure (refer
to your Species Settings Booklet to nd
the correct setting). Finally, press the ON/
HOLD button to place the meter back in the
Standard Measurement mode.
NOTE: If you cannot nd the correct
setting for the wood species or material
you wish to measure, go to www.
wagnerspecies.com where you can access
Wagner’s extensive Species Database. If
you still cannot nd the correct setting,
contact a Wagner Meters expert at
844-689-0660.

3. Your Orion® 940 meter was designed
for wood thicknesses from .25 (6mm)
to .50 (13mm) in ¼” mode and .75
inches (19mm) up to 1.5 inches (38mm)
in ¾” mode. If you wish to measure
wood pieces with thicknesses less than
.75 inches (19mm) in ¾” mode, the
meter will underestimate the actual
moisture content. Thicknesses that are
slightly thinner (example: .625 inches
(15.9mm)) will not be underestimated
substantially, but the thinner the piece
becomes, the more the measurement
will be underestimated. For pieces
thinner than .50 inches (12.7mm), you
should use the ¼” mode.
4. The actual sensing area is a 2.0-inch
(50mm) wide by 2.5-inch (63.5mm)
long rectangle on the back of the
meter (opposite side of the display).
In order to take a valid measurement,
this sensing area must be completely
covered with the wood or other material
you are measuring. If the sensing area is
not completely covered, your moisture
reading will be inaccurate.
To make sure that you are getting the most
accurate readings from your Orion® 940
meter, Wagner Meters recommends that
you pay close attention to the following
guidelines:
1. If the thickness of the piece of wood
or other building material is greater
than .75 inch (19mm), and you wish
to get more of a full thickness rather
than a shallow measurement, it is a
good idea to take measurements in
3/4” mode on both sides and average
the readings.
2. To prevent high or inaccurate
readings, always have a minimum
1-inch (25mm) air gap underneath
the piece of wood you are measuring.
During this process, make sure your
hand is not directly underneath
the meter.

ON/HOLD Button
When the meter is OFF,
pressing and releasing the
ON/HOLD button will
turn the meter ON, with the meter briey
displaying the model number, followed by
the rmware revision number. Immediately
after briey displaying the revision
number, the meter will be in the Standard
Measurement mode. At this point, the meter
is ready to take moisture measurements.
Be assured that any settings that you have
previously programmed/selected will be
active. In other words, turning off the meter
will not cause the meter to revert to factory
default settings, but will retain whatever
settings you programmed it with.
When in the Standard Measurement mode,
pressing and releasing the ON/HOLD button
will freeze whatever reading is showing on
the display. Additionally, the word HOLD

5. If there is visible moisture or water
on the surface of the wood or material
to be tested, wipe off any excess, and
let the surface dry out for a couple of
minutes before taking measurements.
If possible, turn the board over and
measure the other side.
6. Be sure to press down rmly to
ensure good sensor plate contact with
the surface of the wood or building
material. This is especially important
when measuring rough-sawn lumber.
7. Do not take readings where there
is a noticeable defect or knot in
the lumber.
Our Technical Staff Wants to Help You:
Contact us at our worldwide toll-free number,
844-689-0660, for guidelines to measure
wood where measurement corrections may be

AUDIO) that you are in at a
given time will determine
how these buttons will
function. Settings values will
be increased or decreased,
or different functions activated according
to the specic instructions outlined for each
settings button.
DEPTH Button
Your Orion® 940 meter
features dual depth capability
that allows you to measure
at ¼ and ¾ inch depths depending on the
setting you have chosen. If the meter is in the
Depth Setting mode and either the UP button,
DOWN button or DEPTH button is pressed,
the Depth setting will change (e.g., from 3-4
to 1-4) or vice versa. Press the ON/HOLD
button to store the setting. If the meter is in
the Depth Setting mode and the ON/HOLD
button is pressed, the meter will return to the
Standard Measurement mode.
If the meter is in Depth Setting mode
and on the ¼” (6mm) depth setting, in
will show in the upper right-hand corner.
This HOLD feature is valuable when taking
measurements in hard-to-reach places where
you cannot see the display.
If the AUDIO function of the meter is
turned on (refer to the “Audio Button”
section on page 28), the meter will emit a
short beep every 4 seconds that the current
reading remains on HOLD.
The current reading will remain on the
screen until the ON/HOLD button is
briey pressed again, returning the meter
back to Standard Measurement mode and
HOLD will disappear from view.
NOTE: Meter will shut down automatically
after 60 seconds if the meter is left on HOLD
with no measurement activity. Pressing the
ON/HOLD button for 2 seconds will turn the
meter off.

SPECIES/MATERIAL
Button
The SPECIES/MATERIAL
button on your Orion®
940 is used to place your meter into one
of three different modes by pressing the
button until you are in the desired mode.
The available modes are:
1. Species Settings mode. This mode
is for programming the meter to the
correct setting for the wood species
you wish to measure. When in this
mode, the meter display will indicate
settings values from 0.20 up to 1.00.
Factory default is 0.50.
2. Relative Measurement mode. Used
for obtaining relative, rather than
absolute, measurements, typically for
non-solid wood applications (example:
relative measurements on drywall
or engineered ooring). When you
toggle to this mode, the display will
show REL in the lower-left corner of
the display when you are in the Standard
Measurement mode. More information
concerning Relative Scale can be found
on page 27.
3. Meter Calibration mode. Follow the
instructions on page 33 to perform
your own eld calibration using
the included Orion® Calibration
Reference from Wagner.

DATA Button
When the DATA button
is pressed, the meter will
briey display DATA and
then display either OFF (to indicate the
meter is not set to record data) or ON (if
the meter is set to record data) or AUTO
(to indicate the meter is set to automatically
record readings).
To change the Data Recording mode, press
either the UP button or the DOWN button,
the display will change from OFF to ON
or AUTO and then press the ON/HOLD
button, the corresponding Data Recording
mode will change.
When the Data Recording mode is ON or
AUTO, moisture readings can be stored
in the moisture meter. Moisture readings
are stored sequentially in the meter up to a
limit of 100 readings.
NOTE: When the meter’s Data Recording
mode is set for either ON or AUTO, the
meter’s HOLD function is disabled.
If the meter is in the Standard Measurement
mode, the Data Recording mode is set to
ON, and the ON/HOLD button is pressed,
the meter will record the current reading
to the lowest available reading location,
display REC and the stored location (e.g.,
REC 1) for 0.5 seconds and then return to
the Standard Measurement mode. If the
maximum of 100 readings has already been
reached, the meter will start overwriting
the oldest readings and the display will
continue to read REC 100.
If the Data Recording mode is set to
ON and the meter is turned off, when
the meter is turned on again the Data
Recording mode will have defaulted
to OFF.
1. Data Viewing. When the meter is in
Data Recording mode (above) and
the DATA button is pressed again, the
meter will display MAX and display
the highest reading stored. As with the
other modes, if there are no readings
stored, the meter will display MAX
and ‘- - - -’.

21 22
When the meter is in MAX reading
view mode, and the DATA button is
pressed again, the meter will display
MIN and display the lowest reading
stored. If there are no readings stored,
the meter will display MIN and ‘- - - -’.
If the meter is in MIN reading view
mode, and the DATA button is
pressed again, the meter will display
AVG and immediately display the
average of all the readings stored. If
there are no readings stored, the meter
will display AVG and ‘- - - -’.
When the meter is in AVG reading
view mode, and the DATA button is
pressed again, the meter will display
REC, briey display the most recent
reading’s location number (e.g.,
4), and then will display the actual
moisture reading stored in that
location (e.g., 18.2). If the reading
is at the meter’s maximum of 32.0,
the display will show RECMAX
along with the actual 32.0 reading.
If there are no readings stored in the
meter, the display will show REC and
‘- - - -’.
2. View Readings Mode. While in REC
(View Readings) mode, if the UP
button or the DOWN button is pressed,
the next or previous reading location
will be displayed (e.g., 2) for 0.5
seconds, and then the meter will display
the reading stored at that location (e.g.,
18.2).
If the UP button or DOWN button is held
down for 0.7 seconds, the current reading
location will increase or decrease to the
next multiple of 10 (e.g., if the reading
location is currently 6, pressing the UP
button will change the reading location to
10). Every 0.7 seconds thereafter that the
button is held down, the reading location
will continue to change by 10 (e.g., from
10 to 20).
When the UP button or DOWN button
is released, the reading location that
was stopped on will be displayed
(e.g., 90) for 0.5 seconds, and then

23 24
the meter will display the reading
stored at that location (e.g., 18.2). All
throughout View Readings mode,
REC will be displayed to indicate
that the user is currently accessing the
recorded readings.
If the meter is in the View Readings
mode and the DATA button is pressed
again, the meter will display CL for 0.7
seconds, ALL for 0.7 seconds, and then
display NO. This is called the Clear
Reading mode.
3. Clear Reading Mode. If the meter is
in the Clear Reading mode and either
the UP button or the DOWN button is
pressed, the display will change from
NO to YES.
If the DATA button is pressed when
YES is displayed, all readings will
be cleared from the meter memory.
If the UP button or DOWN button is
pressed instead of the DATA button
when YES is displayed, the display
will change from YES to NO and the
meter memory will not be cleared. If
the DATA button is pressed while NO
is displayed, the meter will return to
the Standard Measurement mode.
To clear an individual reading,
press the UP and DOWN buttons
simultaneously. CLRD will show on
the display followed by NO. Press the
UP or DOWN button to select YES
then press the DATA button to clear the
reading.
NOTE: If the meter is in any of the
modes associated with the DATA button
(Data Setting, High Reading View, Low
Reading View, Average Reading View,
or Clear Reading) and the ON/HOLD
button is pressed, the meter will return to
Standard Measurement mode.
How to Program a Species Setting
for Different Wood Species
FIRST, consult the Species Settings Booklet
and locate the correct setting that corresponds
to the type/species of wood being measured.

25 26
next multiple of .10 (e.g., if the setting is
currently .36, the setting will change to
.40). Every 0.7 seconds thereafter that the
button is held down, the setting will change
by another .10 (e.g., from .40 to .50).
If the DOWN button
is pressed and held for
0.7 seconds, the setting
will decrease to the next
multiple of .10 (e.g., if
the setting is currently .66, the setting
will change to .60). Every 0.7 seconds
thereafter that the button is pressed and
held, the setting will change by another .10
(e.g., from .60 to .50).
When pressing the UP arrow button, once
the maximum setting of 1.00 has been
reached, the setting will wrap around to the
minimum (.20) and continue to increase
from there. Similarly, when continuing to
press the DOWN button, if the minimum
setting of .20 has been encountered, the
setting will wrap around to the maximum
(1.00) and continue to decrease from
that point.
NOTE: If you cannot nd the correct setting for
thewoodspeciesor material youwishtomeasure,
go to www.wagnerspecies.com. If you still
cannot nd the correct setting, contact Wagner at
844-689-0660.
NEXT, once the meter is turned on, press
and release the SPECIES/MATERIAL
button until you are in the Species
Setting mode. Once you are there, the
meter will show the current setting with
a decimal (e.g., 0.62 or 1.00). If the
meter is being programmed for the rst
time, the default setting of 0.50 will be
displayed on the screen.
While in this mode,
pressing and releasing
either the UP or DOWN
arrow buttons will increase
or decrease the setting
of the meter by .01 each time a button
is pressed and will update the display
accordingly.
If the UP button is held down for 0.7
seconds, the setting will increase to the

27 28
Once the species setting
value has been set, press
and release the ON/HOLD
button to return the meter
to Standard Measurement
mode. Once in Standard Measurement
mode, 0.0 will be displayed on the
screen if the meter is held in the air. The
programmed setting will be retained in
memory even if the meter is powered off or
the battery has been changed. If you press
and release the SPECIES/MATERIAL
button in the future, the last programmed
setting will appear on the screen.
Relative Scale for Moisture Measurement
of Non-Wood Building Materials
As mentioned earlier, this
mode can be entered by
pressing and releasing the
SPECIES/MATERIAL
button until you are in this
mode (display will show REL in lower left
corner). Once in this mode, your meter will
be in a relative measurement scale (0-100)
for measuring non-solid wood or non-wood
based materials. Press the ON/HOLD button
to return to the Standard Measurement mode.
AUDIO Button
Your Orion® 940 AUDIO
button allows you to set a
high moisture content alarm
threshold (setting from 5% to 32%) for solid
wood measurement applications, and also
set the volume for the audible alarm. This
feature is useful, for example, when quickly
scanning a piece of wood, and trying to
locate any higher moisture content areas,
without having to continually look at the
digital display.
Press the AUDIO button and the display
will show the current moisture content
high threshold (e.g., 14%). The factory
default is 15%. Each press and release of
the UP or DOWN buttons will adjust the
threshold setting by 1%.
To get to your desired setting faster, hold
down the UP button for 0.7 seconds; the
alarm threshold setting will increase to

29 30
the next multiple of 5 (e.g., if the alarm
threshold setting is currently 12%, the
setting will advance to 15%). Every 0.7
seconds thereafter that the button is held
down, the setting will change by another
5 units (e.g., from 15% to 20%). If the
DOWN button is pressed and held for
0.7 seconds, the setting will decrease to
the next multiple of 5 (e.g., if the alarm
threshold setting is currently 23%, the
setting will change to 20%). Every 0.7
seconds thereafter that the button is
pressed and held, the setting will change
by another 5 (e.g., from 20% to 15%).
Once the setting has been increased to the
maximum programmable MC% threshold
(32%), the setting will wrap around to the
minimum (5%) and continue to increase
from there. Similarly, if the setting has
been decreased to the MC% minimum
(5%) the setting will wrap around to
the maximum (32%) and continue to
decrease from there. Again, the range of
setting is 5% to 32%, in 1% increments
(no decimal place).
Next, press the AUDIO
button again, and you
will be taken to a display
that will show the current
volume setting for audible
sound. Simply use the UP or DOWN
arrow buttons to set the desired audible
level. The volume setting has a range of
OFF to 9; 9 being the loudest and 1 being
the quietest, with OFF indicating that the
audible alarm is disabled.
When nished, you can place your meter
back to Standard Measurement mode by
pressing the ON/HOLD button.

IMPORTANT: Failure to correctly
and rmly “seat” the sensor pad in the
recessed area will cause an inaccurate
calibration.
4. Apply light downward pressure
and press the AUDIO button three
(3) times. The meter will make a
“beeping” sound which indicates
it is going through the automatic
calibration procedure.
5. When the calibration procedure is
complete, the meter will display the

the meter to normal measuring mode.
Calibration of Your Orion® 940
If you have reason to believe your Orion®
940 may be out of calibration, it can be easily
recalibrated using the provided Calibration
Reference (CR). Before calibrating your
meter, please be aware that you must
ONLY calibrate to the correct CR that came
with the meter. Serial numbers on the CR
(found underneath) and meter (found in
the battery compartment) MUST match for
correct calibration. Also, the sticker must
not be damaged, as this may cause incorrect
calibration. Follow the steps below for
proper calibration. The instructions are also
printed on the back of the CR.
1. Place the CR on its legs on a non-
metallic surface.
2. Turn the meter on, and then use the
SPECIES/MATERIAL button to put
your meter in CAL mode. (Refer to
the SPECIES/MATERIAL button
section on page 17.)
3. Place the meter on the CR, correctly

35 36
on the Calibration Reference.* All function
buttons as well as the display screen,
sensing plate, and battery compartment are
accessible without removal of this rubber
guard. The boot will t on the meter only one
way correctly. Failure to correctly place the
boot will result in inaccurate readings.
*Although not recommended, you may wish
to use the meter without the protective rubber
boot. If you choose to do so, make sure you
recalibrate your meter on the Calibration
Reference with the boot off.
