图片1

1. Triple-Parameter Precision

Measures soil moisture (0–100%), temperature (-40°C to 80°C), and electrical conductivity (EC) (0–20,000 µS/cm) with high accuracy (±3% moisture, ±0.5°C temperature).

Flexible output: RS485 (Modbus-RTU) or analog voltage (0–2V) for seamless integration into diverse systems.

2. Rugged & Weatherproof Design

IP68 waterproof rating allows direct burial in soil, ideal for harsh environments (-40°C to 85°C).

Epoxy-sealed body and stainless steel rods ensure long-term durability and corrosion resistance.

3. Smart Farming Ready

Modbus-RTU protocol enables easy integration with IoT platforms and agricultural automation systems.

Customizable settings: Adjust baud rates (1200–38,400 bps), slave addresses, soil type coefficients, and temperature units (°C/℉).

4. Low Power & Energy Efficiency

6mA@24V DC power consumption ensures minimal energy use, ideal for solar-powered or remote deployments.

Continuous or on-demand measurement modes optimize battery life.

5. User-Friendly Installation

Sharp, durable rods for effortless insertion into soil (surface or buried).

Pre-loaded calibration formulas for VWC, EC, and salinity across soil types (mineral, sand, clay, organic).

◀◀  Application Scenarios  ▶▶


◆◆ Applications:  

  • Precision Agriculture: Optimize irrigation and fertilization based on real-time soil data.

  • Greenhouse Management: Monitor microclimates to boost crop yields.

  • Environmental Research: Track soil health and salinity in ecological studies.

  • Smart Irrigation Systems: Automate water usage to reduce waste.

  • Urban Farming: Ensure optimal growing conditions in controlled environments.


◆◆ Surface installation

  • Clear away any stones. Pre-form holes in very hard soils before insertion.

  • Push the sensor into the soil until the rods are fully inserted. Ensure good soil contact.

  • If you feel strong resistance when inserting the sensor, you have probably hit a stone. Stop, and re-insert at a new location.

Note: The sensor is suitable for soil surface temperature measurements.
