Smart ground moisture sensor 10HS S-SMD-M005
The smart soil moisture sensor Smart S-SMD-M005 measures'soil moisture on one large soil volume (1 litre) using probes 10 cm, it works in a external environment, offers accuracy de ±3 % in most soil conditions and precision of ±2 % with one specific calibration on the ground.
Readings are provided directly in volumetric moisture content, and its high frequency design minimizes the effects of soil salinity and texture, it has a wide measuring range from 0 to 0.570 m3/m3.
It is also available in version wireless for use with the monitoring system field HOBOnet.
Smart S-SMD-M005 floor moisture smart sensor measures the'soil moisture on a large volume of soil.
This sensor incorporates the 10HS sensor tested in the field and A/D 12 bits, providing ± 3 per cent accuracy under most soil conditions and ± 2 per cent accuracy with soil-specific calibration.
The 10 cm probes measure soil moisture on a larger volume of soil, allowing for average soil variability.
Readings are provided directly in volumetric moisture content.
The high frequency design the sensor minimizes salinity and texture effects and gives it a wide range of measurement.
It is also available in wireless model for use with the field monitoring system HOBOnet.
Technical specifications:
- Measure a large soil volume of 1 litre, providing a more accurate picture of average soil moisture
- Provides data directly on volumetric water content
- The high frequency circuit (70 MHz) offers good precision even in saline and sandy soils
- Compatible with weather station autonomous and Web Onset
Sensor Features:
- Measurement range in the ground: 0 to 0.570 m3/m3 (volumetric water content)
- Accuracy:
± 0.033 m3/m3 (±3.3%) typical 0 to +50°C (+32° to +122°F) for mineral soils up to 10 dS/m
±0.020 m3/m3 (±2%) with specific ground calibration
- Resolution: 0.0008 m3/m3 (0.08%)
- Dimensions of the soil probe: 160 x 32 x 2 mm (6,5 x 1,25 x 0,08 in.)
- Weight: 190 grams (6.7 oz)
- Decagon probe reference: 10HS
- Sensor operating temperature: 0° to +50°C (+32° to +122°F).
Although the sensor probe and cable can operate safely at temperatures below freezing point (up to -40°C/F) and the smart sensor tube (the white part of the sensor cable that houses the electronics) can be exposed to temperatures up to +70°C (+158°F), the soil moisture data collected at these extreme temperatures are outside the precise measuring range of the sensor.
Extended temperatures above +50°C (+122°F) will reduce the battery life of the recorder when using the smart S-SMD-M005 sensor.
