Soil Moisture Sensor and Meter
Product code: AG25-200
Digital soil moisture meter and sensor with 1.5m cable
Solid state, electrical resistance type sensor provides accurate readings from 0 to 200 centibars, covering the entire soil moisture range required in agricultural applications. In operation, soil moisture is constantly being absorbed or released from the sensor. As soil dries out, sensor moisture is reduced and electrical resistance between electrodes is increased. Resistance is read by the hand held digital meter which gives a digital readout in centibars of soil water suction.
The digital meter features soil temperature compensation which adjusts for the effect soil temperature has on electrical resistance reading. Temperature scale can be adjusted to use either °C or °F scales. To use, bury sensor to desired depth, connect alligator clips on meter to the sensor, and view results on
digital display.
